ResMed AirSense™ 10 AutoSet™ Connected with HumidAir™ and ClimateLineAir™

Automatic positive air pressure (APAP) therapy features devices that adjust pressure levels based on your breathing patterns throughout the night. This helps you breathe in and out more comfortably. Traditional CPAP therapy delivers pressure at the prescribed level and does not adjust, so many people — particularly those with high pressure requirements — prefer APAP.

ClimateLineAir 10 Heated Tubing is used to link your AirSense 10 AutoSet machine and face mask. This creates an outlet for air to flow directly into your nose and/or mouth without losing pressure. The tubing features embedded sensors to monitor temperature and humidity levels, making automatic adjustments as needed to prevent dry mouth and congestion. If you own the AirSense 10 AutoSet, be sure to choose ClimateLineAir tubing that’s compatible with your machine — ClimateLineAir tubing intended for the AirSense 11 series won’t work with your device.

The myAir virtual assistant guides you through the process of using the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet for the first time. Follow prompts on the control panel to install and operate the device, and to report compliance data. myAir also provides personalized data tracking, and can be used to adjust the display.

The ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet produces 26 decibels (dBA) of noise at maximum volume. This makes the device quieter than many competing machines.

The ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet is considered FAA-compliant, allowing you to use the machine mid-flight. We recommend bringing a note from your doctor when you travel, as some airlines require proof of prescription before you can use a PAP device on an airplane. For long flights, you can speak to a gate or flight attendant about being seated near a power outlet — though many current planes feature outlets at every seat.

Note: you should not adjust the pressure to any level that does not match your CPAP prescription. Talk to your doctor if you aren't happy with your current pressure settings.

To adjust the pressure of the ResMed AirSense 10, access the clinical menu on the device's screen by simultaneously pressing the home button and the button on the dial. If the device is in "AutoSet" mode, you can separately adjust your levels for inhalation and exhalation. If the device is in "CPAP" mode, you'll only need to adjust the machine's single, fixed pressure setting.

To clean your ResMed AirSense 10, follow these steps for disassembly and daily and weekly cleaning.

To disassemble your ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset for cleaning:

1. Unplug the machine and wait 10 minutes for the humidifier's heater plate and water supply to cool down.
2. Remove the humidifier and empty the remaining water until it's completely empty.
3. Disconnect the hose from the mask, then disassemble the mask to separate the cushion(s), headgear, and frame.

To clean your humidifier and mask cushion on a daily basis:

1. Wipe down the humidifier tub with a disposable cloth, then place on a towel and allow it to dry away from direct sunlight. Once the interior of the tub is completely moisture-free, refill with distilled water.
2. Gently wash the cushion(s) in warm water with mild dishwashing liquid. Rinse with warm, drinking-quality water, then place on a towel to dry out of direct sunlight.

For cleaning your machine and its equipment on a weekly basis:

1. Soak the humidifier tub in warm water with mild dishwashing liquid. Alternatively, you can use a cleaning solution consisting of 1 part water and 9 parts vinegar at room temperature.
2. Gently wash the humidifier tub, connective hose, and mask frame with mild dishwashing liquid in warm water. Rinse each item thoroughly in warm, drinking-quality water.
3. Dry all of these components on a towel out of direct sunlight. 
4. Wipe the exterior of the CPAP machine with a dry cloth.
5. Do not reassemble the machine and equipment until each component is completely dry.

You should change the filter on your ResMed AirSense 10 every six months. However, you may need to replace the filter more frequently if your bedroom is dusty or if your local climate is prone to high humidity levels. Check the filter regularly for dirt and damage.

Yes, you can use the ResMed AirSense 10 without water as long as the humidifier function is disabled in the device's "My Options" menu. You'll also need to insert a side cover into the machine – this prevents water from entering the chamber.  

You can turn off the ResMed AirSense 10's humidifier in the "My Options" menu on the device's screen. A side cover is required to prevent water in the humidifier from entering the chamber.
