I have been asked to find out about using sleep apnea machines on Shabbos for a congregant
I saw that you dealt with this question in these three places

2) https://www.medethics.org.il/db/showQ.asp?id=4136

Here is my question
Is this a universal pesak halacha that can be applied to all patients whose doctors have asked them to use a sleep apnea machine or is this limited to cases of extreme sleep apnea
After all there are so many people being told to use these machines nowadays
Also if one has the option of buying any machine they'd like should they look for one that can work with a timer alon and not require any button pushing
Do you know of any such models available in the US
Thank you so much
Also, the issur involved, again according to the Rav zt"l (when there is neither light nor heat) is only d'Rabbanan. Hence the machine must be used every night. I do not know about the timer but one can always use a Shabbos clock
