Description
Quick answer: This is the genuine ResMed oxygen connector port (part 26960) — an in-line adapter that lets you bleed supplemental oxygen from a concentrator or tank into your CPAP/BiLevel airflow. It fits between the machine and the air tubing, so prescribed oxygen mixes into your therapy air through the night. It’s validated for up to 15 L/min of supplemental oxygen and works with standard oxygen tubing. For ResMed VPAP BiLevel machines (see compatibility). Oxygen tubing and concentrator not included.
⚠️ Important — oxygen safety
Using supplemental oxygen with CPAP/BiLevel requires care:
- Turn the oxygen OFF when the machine is not running. If oxygen keeps flowing while the device is off, it can accumulate in the machine/tubing and create a fire risk.
- No open flames, no smoking near oxygen.
- Follow your clinician’s prescribed oxygen flow rate, and the device and oxygen-equipment user guides.

Oxygen tubing, oxygen concentrator/tank, machine, and mask not included.
About this part
Some people who use CPAP or BiLevel therapy also need supplemental oxygen — for example with COPD, congestive heart failure, or oxygen desaturation during sleep. The oxygen connector port is the accessory that combines the two:
- Bleeds oxygen into the airflow — it sits in-line between the machine and the air tubing, with a small barbed inlet where standard oxygen tubing from a concentrator or tank connects. Oxygen mixes into your CPAP/BiLevel air as you breathe.
- Up to 15 L/min — validated for supplemental oxygen flows up to 15 litres per minute.
- Directional — an arrow on the port shows the correct airflow direction (machine → mask).
- Standard fittings — 22 mm air connections and a standard oxygen-tubing barb; washable (warm water + mild detergent, rinse and dry).
Compatibility (ResMed VPAP BiLevel): VPAP III ST-A, VPAP III ST-A QuickNav, VPAP Auto 25, VPAP ST, VPAP S, and VPAP IV. (For AirSense/AirCurve 10 or 11, ResMed’s oxygen connection is handled differently — contact us to confirm the right part for your machine.)

Frequently asked questions
What does the oxygen connector port do?
It lets you bleed supplemental oxygen from a concentrator or tank into your CPAP/BiLevel airflow. It fits in-line between the machine and the air tubing, with a barbed inlet for standard oxygen tubing.
Which machines does it work with?
ResMed VPAP BiLevel machines: VPAP III ST-A, VPAP III ST-A QuickNav, VPAP Auto 25, VPAP ST, VPAP S, and VPAP IV. For AirSense/AirCurve 10 or 11, contact us — the oxygen connection differs.
How much oxygen can it take?
It’s validated for up to 15 L/min of supplemental oxygen.
Is it safe to use oxygen with CPAP?
With proper precautions: always turn the oxygen off when the machine isn’t running (to prevent oxygen build-up and fire risk), keep away from flames, and don’t smoke near oxygen. Follow your prescribed flow rate.
Which way does it go?
There’s an arrow on the port showing the airflow direction (machine → mask). Install it that way.
Do I need a prescription?
The connector itself doesn’t require a prescription, though supplemental oxygen is prescribed by your clinician.
Can I get it delivered in Brooklyn or shipped nationwide?
Yes — Stark Medical Supplies offers local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and across NYC, plus USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S.
Use with a compatible ResMed device and prescribed supplemental oxygen according to the device and oxygen-equipment user guides. Turn oxygen off when the device is not operating, and follow all oxygen-safety precautions. This listing is informational and is not medical advice.
