Background
The DeVilbiss DV54 PAP is a Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) device developed by DeVilbiss Healthcare for the treatment of sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders. Designed to provide a continuous flow of pressurized air, the DV54 helps maintain an open airway during sleep, preventing interruptions in breathing.
This model is part of DeVilbiss’s IntelliPAP line, which was introduced to compete with other major sleep therapy systems by offering reliability, quiet operation, and compact design. The DV54 was FDA-cleared for medical use and is commonly prescribed to adult patients. Although newer models have since been released, the DV54 remains in use in many clinical and home settings due to its durable build and dependable performance.
Identification
The DeVilbiss DV54 PAP can be identified by its compact rectangular shape, soft gray and white color scheme, and clear display interface. The front panel includes navigation buttons for adjusting pressure settings, viewing therapy data, and operating time.
On the rear panel, users will find a filter compartment, power connector, and air outlet port for the tubing. Some versions include a connection point for an optional heated humidifier attachment.
The device label is typically located on the bottom or back of the unit, displaying the model number “DV54”, serial number, and manufacturer name: DeVilbiss Healthcare LLC.

Additional Information
The DeVilbiss DV54 PAP was marketed as part of the IntelliPAP series and is known for its compact size and low noise output. It was often supplied with accessories including a power cord, air tubing, filters, and a carrying case. The device requires regular maintenance such as filter replacement and periodic cleaning of the air pathway.
Users have generally praised the DV54 PAP for its durability and consistent pressure delivery. However, like other PAP systems, it should be kept away from moisture to prevent electrical damage.
DeVilbiss has since introduced updated PAP systems, and the DV54 is considered a legacy model. Replacement parts and accessories remain available through online medical suppliers and secondary markets.
