I used my Cpap and humidifier in Holland. The plug is different.If I remember correctly it was round,please check further .You will need an adapter from american to it.The voltage there is 220v.Most Cpaps are dual voltage so you need to check your machine if it is dual voltage or not(check your manual if you need to change the fuse as well and check for watts) .The wattage of Cpaps and humidifiers are mostly below 200 each,mine is 120w and 180w respictavly.I would use 500w or over for both,as a gut feel safety measure.A streigt forward step up transformer should suffice,I continually used my 500w transformer for my humidifier and sometimes for both (when the wiring or adapters became a problem)for all my forign visits in the last three years.It cost me around $20.
Good luck
