Therapy information The following modes are available on the AirSense 10 Plus device: Device Modes available AutoSet AutoSet for Her CPAP AirSense 10 AutoSet Plus AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her Plus AirSense 10 Elite Plus ...
Flow limitation As the upper airway begins to collapse, the shape of the inspiratory flow-time curve changes. The AirSense 10 Plus recognizes and treats traditional as well as less common flow-limited breath wave forms. Snore Snoring is sound generated by vibrations of the walls of the upper airway. It is often preceded by flow limitation or a partial obstruction of the airway.

Obstructive apnea An obstructive apnea is when the upper airway becomes severely limited or completely obstructed. AutoSet generally prevents obstructive apneas from occurring by responding to flow limitation and snoring. If an obstructive apnea occurs, the device will respond by increasing pressure. Central apnea During a central apnea, the airway will remain open, but there is no flow.
AutoSet for Her mode AutoSet for Her mode is based on key aspects of ResMed’s AutoSet algorithm and delivers therapeutic responses tailored to the characteristics of female OSA patients. The AutoSet for Her is similar to ResMed’s AutoSet algorithm with the following modifications: Reduced rate of pressure increments designed to help prevent arousals.
(data availability depends on device mode and parameter measured). Central sleep apnea detection Available in all modes on the AirSense 10 AutoSet Plus, AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her Plus and the AirSense 10 Elite Plus. The device detects both obstructive and central sleep apneas (CSA). CSA detection uses the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) to determine the state of the patient’s airway during an apnea.
RERAs are periods of increasing respiratory effort which are terminated by an arousal. Increasing respiratory effort will be seen as airflow limitation.These flow-based RERA events are logged and stored as summary and/or detailed data and can then be viewed in one of ResMed's patient management systems.
Comfort features Ramp Designed to make the beginning of treatment more comfortable, ramp is available in all modes. In AutoSet mode, ramp time defines the period during which the pressure gradually increases from a lower more comfortable start pressure to the minimum treatment pressure before the auto-adjusting algorithm commences.
Standard or Soft. If set to soft, patients will receive gentler pressure rises during therapy. Patients who use the AutoSet Response feature will still get the benefits of ResMed's AutoSet technology including improved sensitivity to flow-limitation and CSA Detection with Forced Oscillation Technique.
Humidity Level The humidifier moistens the air and is designed to make therapy more comfortable. If the patient is getting a dry nose or mouth, turn up the humidity. If the patient is getting moisture in their mask, turn down the humidity. The Humidity Level can be set to Off or between 1 and 8, where 1 is the lowest humidity setting and 8 is the highest humidity setting.
5. Close the humidifier and insert it into the side of the device. 6. Connect the free end of the air tubing firmly onto the assembled mask. See the mask user guide for detailed information. Recommended masks are available on www.resmed.com. English...
Antibacterial filters increase resistance in the air circuit and may affect accuracy of displayed and delivered pressure, particularly at high flows. ResMed recommends using an antibacterial filter with a low impedance [eg, 2 cm H O (2 hPa) at 60 L/min], such as PALL (BB50T), Filter without Luer Port (4222/702) or the Filter with Side Port 24966 (4222/701).
Adjusting the clinical settings 1. Access the Clinical Menu, highlight Settings and press the dial. The Settings menu is displayed. 2. Turn the dial to highlight the setting you want to adjust and then press the dial. 3. Turn the dial to adjust the setting and press the dial to save the change. The settings can be changed in different ways depending on the type of screen: Turn the dial to edit live in the Turn the dial to change the...

Starting therapy 1. Direct the patient to fit their mask. 2. Direct the patient to press Start/Stop, or if the SmartStart feature is enabled, direct them to breathe into their mask. Therapy will begin and the Sleep Report screen is displayed. The current treatment pressure is shown in green.
Sleep Report screen parameters Parameter Description Usage hours Number of hours the device has been used during the last session. Events (AHI) per hour Apneas and hypopneas measured per hour for one day. An apnea is when the respiratory flow decreases by more than 75% for at least 10 sec. A hypopnea is when the respiratory flow decreases to 50% for at least 10 sec.
Cleaning and Maintenance It is important that the AirSense 10 Plus device is cleaned regularly to ensure optimal therapy. The following sections will help with disassembling, cleaning, checking and reassembling the device. WARNING Regularly clean the tubing assembly, humidifier and mask for optimal therapy and to prevent the growth of germs that can adversely affect the patient's health.
If the cleanable humidifier or the air tubing are being used for a single user in the home, refer to the cleaning instructions in this guide or in the User Guide. Described here are ResMed’s recommended and validated procedures for cleaning and disinfecting the cleanable humidifier, air outlet and air tubing. However, the steps for disinfection vary regionally and each healthcare facility should consult its own procedures before carrying out those within this guide.
WARNING • ResMed cannot give any assurance that deviations from the procedures listed in this guide, and their effect on the performance of the product, will be acceptable. • When using detergents, disinfectants or sterilization agents, always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Run the detergent solution through the air tubing repeatedly until no contamination is visible. 3. Thoroughly rinse each component according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
