Might be worth investing in an Uninterruptible Power Supply for it if you haven't already.


If you get a UPS, make sure you test it at least once per month or so.

I discovered that my 2 year old UPS failed when the power went out and I got a mere 3 seconds of power to my computer. If it had been being used for what is effectively life support, I'd be dead.


Such an obvious answer that eluded me for some reason... Thanks for the suggestion.


This is a good idea, also many machines have batteries you can charge.

That said I should get a UPS for my machine, I literally cannot sleep without it!


As a bonus, these usually beep loudly when power to them is interrupted.


And/or a power failure alarm.


There are CPAP batteries.
