I think it would be questionable at best.

I doubt the units have been tested at 2 - 3 ATA.

Also, I doubt that they are certified for an oxygen rich environment. My wife has a high-quality CPAP (actually APAP - auto adjusting) and it does not indicate anywhere that it is certified for an oxygen rich environment.
