Can I Use My CPAP Machine in Vietnam?
You're good — plug right in.
Your device's voltage range matches this country, and the plug fits. You can use it directly — no adapter or converter needed. As a final check, confirm the voltage range printed on the device label.
The short answer
Most modern CPAP machines are dual-voltage (100–240V) and need only a plug adapter — but as a medical device, never assume: confirm the exact label and check whether your heated humidifier is frequency-sensitive. Bring the manufacturer's travel power supply, consider a battery pack for flights, and avoid cheap voltage converters that output a non-pure sine wave.
Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz. Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz with sockets that commonly accept both Type A (US flat blades) and Type C (Europlug). The Type A fit is a trap: the plug goes in, but a US single-voltage device receives 220V and can overheat. Pack a Type C adapter and confirm your devices are dual-voltage.

FAQ
Will a travel adapter let me use my CPAP machine in Vietnam?
Vietnam sockets use Type A/C. Your plug already fits, so no adapter is needed.
Do I need a voltage converter for a CPAP machine in Vietnam?
No. If your CPAP machine is dual-voltage (100–240V), you don't need a converter in Vietnam.
What plug type does Vietnam use?
Vietnam uses Type A, C sockets at 220V / 50Hz.
