There are two models on the U.S. market that come with built-in humidifiers. At least there are only two that I'm aware of. They are both plain old CPAP's (I.E. not Bi-PAP's or Auto-PAP's). I'm not aware of any Bi-PAP's or Auto-PAP's that have built-in humidifiers. I don't think that Bi-PAP and Auto-PAP are available in the same machine (with or without a built-in humidifier).

P.S. Bi-PAP's and Auto-PAP's are generally recommended only for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP, or who have a diagnosis other than simple OSA.
