A CPAP system and method may include a base comprising a flow generator, a respiratory interface, and an elongated flexible conduit extending to connect the base to the respiratory interface. The CPAP system may further include a remote user interface controlling at least certain aspects of the flow generator. For example, the remote user interface may selectively transition, in accordance with commands input therethrough, the flow generator between an active, “on” condition and an inactive, “off” condition. The remote user interface may be secured to move with a respirator interface. Alternatively, the remote user interface may be secured at a location of the users choosing.
