Traveling

Patients can take their AirCurve 10 device wherever they go. Advise patients of the following:
Use the travel bag provided to prevent damage to the device.
•
• Empty the water tub and pack it separately in the travel bag.
• Make sure the patient has the appropriate power cord for the region of travel. For information on
purchasing, contact your ResMed representative.
• When using an external battery, turn off the humidifier in order to maximize battery life. Do this
by turning the Humidity Level to Off.

Traveling by plane

The AirCurve 10 device may be taken on board as carry-on luggage. Medical devices do not count
toward the carry-on luggage limit.
The AirCurve 10 device can be used on a plane as it meets the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
requirements. Air travel compliance letters can be downloaded and printed from www.resmed.com.
When using the device on a plane:
• Make sure the water tub is completely empty and inserted into the device. The device will not
work without the water tub inserted.
• Turn on Airplane Mode (for instructions see the User Guide).
CAUTION
Do not use the device with water in the water tub on a plane due to the risk of inhalation of
water during turbulence.
