Can I Use My CPAP Machine in Sweden?

Yes — your CPAP machine works in Sweden with just a plug adapter.

Plug adapter needed

Your device handles this country's voltage, but the plug shape is different. You need a plug adapter to fit the sockets here. A plug adapter only changes the shape — it does not change voltage, and that's fine in this case because your device already supports the local voltage.

Based on what's typical for this device — confirm on the label to be sure.

Caution: Frequency mismatch (device 60Hz vs 50Hz): verify your medical device (e.g. CPAP) is rated 50/60Hz before use.

Why

Your CPAP machine's voltage already matches Sweden's 230V, so it runs normally — you only need a Type F/C plug adapter for the socket shape. As always, confirm the voltage range printed on the label.

Sweden runs 230⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Sweden runs 230V at 50Hz with Type C/F sockets, the Continental European standard.

Final check: look for "INPUT 100-240V" or a matching local voltage on the label before you plug in.
Caution: For medical devices, always confirm voltage on the label and check with the manufacturer when in doubt.
