1. What is the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet and how does it work? 

The ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet is a premium automatic CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine designed to treat obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). What makes it stand out is its ability to automatically adjust air pressure levels throughout the night based on your real-time breathing patterns. Rather than using a fixed pressure, the AutoSet algorithm gently increases or decreases airflow to keep your airway open—delivering therapy that adapts to you.  The device includes built-in features such as AutoRamp (which starts therapy at a lower pressure to help you fall asleep), Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR) for easier breathing out, and a heated humidifier to add comfort and reduce dryness. It also has integrated wireless connectivity, allowing your therapy data to be shared with your sleep clinic or downloaded through the myAir app, where you can track your sleep progress from your phone.   Ideal for users seeking personalised, comfortable sleep apnoea therapy, the AirSense 10 AutoSet balances smart technology with simplicity. It’s easy to use, clinically trusted, and widely recommended by sleep specialists around the world. 

2. What’s the difference between AirSense 10 AutoSet and AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her? 

The ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet and the AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her are both designed to treat obstructive sleep apnoea, but there’s a key difference in how they adapt to your breathing. The standard AutoSet uses ResMed’s proven algorithm to automatically adjust pressure levels throughout the night, while the ‘For Her’ model includes an additional therapy mode specifically tailored to the needs of female users.   Research shows that women with sleep apnoea often experience more frequent but shorter breathing interruptions and may be more sensitive to pressure changes. The AutoSet for Her mode responds to these patterns with gentler pressure increases, which may improve comfort and adherence.   In terms of hardware, both machines are nearly identical, featuring built-in humidifiers, quiet operation, myAir app compatibility, and user-friendly displays. The only cosmetic difference is that the ‘For Her’ version comes in a white-and-pink colour scheme.   Ultimately, both versions offer excellent therapy, but the AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her provides an extra level of personalised care for women who may benefit from a more nuanced pressure response. 

3. How do I clean and maintain my ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP machine? 

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential to keep your ResMed AirSense 10 working effectively and hygienically. You should clean the water tub, mask, and tubing weekly using warm water and a mild, fragrance-free detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow all parts to air dry completely out of direct sunlight before reassembling.   The machine itself can be wiped down with a damp cloth as needed, especially around the air outlet and screen. Avoid using harsh cleaners or submerging the device in water.   The air filter, located at the back of the machine, should be inspected every month and replaced every 1–6 months, depending on dust levels and environment. A dirty or clogged filter can restrict airflow and affect machine performance.   Cleaning helps prevent mould, bacteria, and mineral buildup, especially in the humidifier chamber. Always empty and refill the chamber with distilled or demineralised water daily to avoid scale and prolong its lifespan.   Following this simple routine will keep your AirSense 10 in top condition and ensure you’re getting the full benefits of your CPAP therapy. 

4. How do I change the pressure settings on my ResMed AirSense 10? 

The pressure settings on your ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet are usually prescribed by your sleep specialist and should only be changed under professional guidance. These settings determine the minimum and maximum pressure the device delivers to treat your obstructive sleep apnoea.   While the machine allows for personalised comfort settings like ramp time, humidity level, and mask type, the actual pressure range is locked to prevent unintentional changes. If you feel your therapy pressure is too high or too low, discuss this with your clinician—they can adjust the settings remotely or during your next consultation.   Some users try to access the clinician menu themselves, but this is not recommended without proper instruction, as incorrect settings may reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.   If you’re having issues with comfort, features like Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR) and AutoRamp can help ease you into therapy by making breathing more natural and comfortable. You can adjust these from the user menu on the machine screen.   For any concerns about pressure settings, always consult your healthcare provider first. 

5. How do I know if my AirSense 10 is working properly? 

There are a few simple ways to tell if your ResMed AirSense 10 is working properly. When you start therapy, you should feel a gentle flow of air from the mask. As you breathe, the device should respond to your inhalation and exhalation with smooth pressure adjustments.   Check the screen for confirmation: after a therapy session, the device displays a Sleep Report with data including usage hours, mask seal, and humidifier status. A green ‘smiley face’ next to the mask and humidifier icons means both are functioning as expected.   If your machine is connected to ResMed’s myAir app, you’ll also receive a daily sleep score and alerts if any issues are detected. These could include mask leaks, poor seal, or low usage.   Unusual noise, inconsistent airflow, or error messages on screen are all signs something may be wrong. In that case, you should inspect your tubing and filter, ensure the humidifier is properly inserted, and contact your CPAP provider or ResMed support if issues persist.   Regular filter changes and proper maintenance can also help ensure ongoing performance and reliability. 

6. Why is my ResMed AirSense 10 so loud? 

The ResMed AirSense 10 is known for being one of the quietest CPAP machines on the market, typically operating at just 27 decibels, which is quieter than a whisper. However, if your machine seems unusually loud, it’s often due to a few common and fixable issues.   First, check that the tubing is securely connected and not leaking. A loose or damaged hose can create a high-pitched whistle or rushing air sound. Also inspect your mask for proper fit—mask leaks are one of the most frequent causes of noise and can reduce therapy effectiveness.   The machine’s air filter may also be clogged or dirty. Replacing it with a fresh one can significantly reduce airflow resistance and unwanted sound. If there’s water in the tubing or humidifier, it can gurgle or bubble—this is known as ‘rainout’ and may require using a heated tube or reducing humidity settings.   If none of these fixes solve the issue, there may be an internal mechanical problem. Contact your CPAP provider or ResMed support to have the device inspected. Persistent noise should never be ignored, especially if it disrupts sleep. 

7. Can I use tap water in my AirSense 10 humidifier? 

While it might be tempting to use tap water in your ResMed AirSense 10 humidifier, it’s strongly recommended to use distilled or demineralised water instead. Tap water contains minerals and impurities that, over time, can lead to a build-up of scale inside the humidifier tub. This not only affects performance but can also reduce the life of the device and pose hygiene risks.   Mineral deposits appear as a white or cloudy film along the bottom or sides of the tub. These deposits are difficult to remove and can harbour bacteria if not cleaned properly. In contrast, distilled water is free from minerals and won’t leave residue, making it ideal for daily use.   If you’re travelling and can’t access distilled water, boiled and cooled tap water may be used occasionally as a backup—but it’s not recommended long-term. Always empty and rinse the water chamber each morning, and let it dry to avoid mould or bacteria growth.   Using the right water ensures cleaner air, a longer-lasting machine, and a more comfortable CPAP experience overall. 

8. Can I travel with the ResMed AirSense 10? 

Yes, the ResMed AirSense 10 is fully approved for travel and is classified as medical equipment, which means it doesn’t count toward your carry-on luggage limit on most airlines. It comes with a travel bag to keep your machine, tubing, mask, and power supply together in one place.   Before flying, make sure to activate ‘Airplane Mode’ on the device. This disables wireless signals while still allowing you to use the therapy features during your flight. You’ll find this option in the settings menu.   If you’re heading overseas, check the voltage and plug compatibility. The AirSense 10 power supply is universal (100–240V), but you may need a travel adapter to fit foreign power outlets.   For camping or off-grid trips, consider a compatible battery pack like the ResMed Power Station II, which can power the device without mains electricity.   Always carry a letter from your doctor if flying, and label your machine clearly as CPAP equipment. With some planning, you can easily take your AirSense 10 on the road and stay on therapy wherever you go. 

9. What do I do if my AirSense 10 is not recording data? 

If your AirSense 10 is not recording or uploading sleep data, don’t panic—this is usually something minor. First, check that Airplane Mode is switched off. The device uses built-in cellular connectivity to transmit your therapy data to the cloud, and airplane mode disables this feature.   If connectivity is active but your myAir app isn’t showing new data, give it some time—uploads often occur about an hour after therapy ends. Make sure your machine is plugged in and left idle after use to allow data transfer.   Still no luck? Check if the SD card (if included) is inserted properly. While the device doesn’t require an SD card to function, some models use it for additional data storage. Removing and reinserting the card may help re-establish the connection.   Also inspect the filter, tubing, and humidifier to ensure there are no errors or hardware issues. If your machine still doesn’t log data after troubleshooting, contact our team on 1300 76 29 39 and they can usually review the issue remotely. 

10. How do I register and use the ResMed myAir app? 

The ResMed myAir app is a companion app that connects with your AirSense 10 AutoSet to provide daily feedback on your sleep therapy. It’s free to use and available for download on iOS and Android devices.   To get started, create an account using your email address and device serial number (found on the back or bottom of your AirSense 10). Once paired, the machine will automatically transmit your therapy data wirelessly.   Each morning, myAir provides a personalised score out of 100 based on your usage, mask fit, events per hour (AHI), and mask leak levels. You’ll also receive coaching tips, progress milestones, and encouragement to help you stay on track.  

11. How often should I replace AirSense 10 parts? 

Replacing key parts of your AirSense 10 regularly helps ensure hygiene, comfort, and effective therapy. Here’s a simple guide to when you should replace the most common components:   - Filter: Every 1 to 6 months, depending on how dusty your environment is. A dirty filter reduces airflow and increases noise.  - Mask cushion: Every 1 to 3 months. Worn-out cushions can cause air leaks and skin irritation.  - Tubing: Every 6 to 12 months. Cracks or residue in the tubing can affect air delivery.  - Water tub: Every 6 months or sooner if discoloured or cloudy. Mineral deposits can build up and harbour bacteria.   You should also inspect your mask headgear regularly and replace it every 6 to 12 months or as it starts to lose elasticity. Keeping a fresh set of supplies helps your therapy stay effective and comfortable—and minimises issues like dry mouth or leaks.
