SEFAM EcoStar - Complete Guide and Review 2026
The SEFAM EcoStar is an Auto CPAP device developed by SEFAM, a French manufacturer specialising in respiratory medical devices since 1983. Less well-known than giants like ResMed or Philips, SEFAM nevertheless offers solid, reliable devices designed with the European - and particularly French and Belgian - context in mind. This guide explains everything you need to know about the EcoStar.
SEFAM: a French brand worth knowing
Founded in Nancy in 1983, SEFAM (Société d'Etude et de Fabrication d'Appareils Médicaux) is a historic player in sleep apnoea treatment in France. The brand is well established in hospitals and home healthcare provider networks across France. The EcoStar is their most accessible consumer device.
Unlike ResMed (Australian) or Philips (Dutch), SEFAM is 100% French - an argument appreciated by those who wish to support European medical industry.

Who is the EcoStar for?
Origin-conscious patients
For those who prefer a European device or want to avoid large multinationals. SEFAM is a serious medical brand with a long clinical track record.
Simple users
The EcoStar is reliable and no-frills. It has no Wi-Fi or smartphone app, but does its job effectively. Ideal for those who do not need advanced digital monitoring.
Travellers
Compact and lightweight, the EcoStar is a good travel companion. Compatible with worldwide voltages (100-240V), it can be used in most countries.
Data Analysis: the SD card
The EcoStar records therapy data on an SD card. You can then analyse this data with the free OSCAR software (open source), which provides detailed reading of pressure curves, residual apneas, mask leaks and more. This approach is ideal for users who want to manage their therapy independently.

Frequently asked questions about the SEFAM EcoStar
All of them. The EcoStar uses the standard 22 mm connection, like every device on the market. Your ResMed, Philips or Fisher & Paykel masks work without an adapter. Only another brand's proprietary heated tube will not connect.
Yes, through the SD card. The EcoStar has no smartphone app, but it records everything on its card. You then read the night-by-night detail with OSCAR, which goes further than an app's simplified score. See our OSCAR guide.
For simplicity and price, not for features. The EcoStar does the job without a connected ecosystem. If you want to follow your therapy from your phone every morning, an AirSense 11 fits better. If you want a device that simply blows well, the EcoStar is enough.
