Therapy information The following modes are available on the AirSense 10 device: Device Modes available AutoSet AutoSet for Her CPAP AirSense 10 AutoSet AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her AirSense 10 Elite ...
Flow limitation As the upper airway begins to collapse, the shape of the inspiratory flow-time curve changes. The AirSense 10 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.
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: ...
If two apneas occur within a minute, the pressure reached in response to the second apnea will become the new minimum treatment pressure until the next treatment session. Patients who use AutoSet for Her will still get the benefits of ResMed's AutoSet technology including improved sensitivity to flow-limitation and Central Sleep Apnoea Detection with Forced Oscillation Technique.
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. When an apnea has been detected, small oscillations in pressure (1 cm H O peak-to-peak at 4 Hz) are added to the current device pressure.
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 and AutoSet for Her 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.
Climate Control Climate Control is an intelligent system that controls the humidifier and the ClimateLineAir heated air tubing to deliver constant, comfortable temperature and humidity levels during therapy. Designed to prevent dryness of the nose and mouth, it maintains the set temperature and relative humidity while you sleep.
5. Close the water tub 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.
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 at 60 L/min), such as PALL (BB50T), Air Safety Filter without Luer Port (4222/702) or Air Safety Filter with Side Port 24966 (4222/701).
Accessing and exiting the Clinical Menu You can access, view and set parameters relating to a patient's therapy and device configuration in the Clinical Menu. To access the Clinical Menu: Press and hold the dial and the Home button for three seconds. The Home screen is displayed with an unlock icon in the top right corner of the screen.
The settings can be changed in different ways depending on the type of screen: Turn the dial to edit live in Turn the dial to change Select from a list of options. the menu. the setting. Setting the date and time Before you set up a new patient and start therapy for the first time, make sure you set the correct local date and time on the device.
Mask Select the type of mask used by Full Face / Nasal / Pillows the patient. Refer to Mask Device Compatibility List on www.resmed.com. Comfort Parameter Description Mode Range AutoSet AutoSet CPAP for Her ...
Options Parameter Description Range Essentials Set the level of access available to the patient. On / Plus ™ SmartStart Enable / disable the SmartStart feature. If you enable the SmartStart Off / On feature, the device will start automatically when the patient breathes into the mask and then stop automatically when the patient removes the mask.
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 device is cleaned regularly to ensure optimal therapy. The following sections will help with disassembling, cleaning, checking and reassembling the device. Disassembling 1. Hold the water tub at the top and bottom, press it gently and pull it away from the device. 2.
3. Check the air filter and replace it at least every six months. Replace it more often if there are any holes or blockages by dirt or dust. To replace the air filter: 1. Open the air filter cover and remove the old air filter. The air filter is not washable or reusable.
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. ResMed has tested the following detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions: Detergent Water temperature SlimLine ClimateLineAir Standard ™...
Inspecting Perform a visual inspection of the air tubing. If any visible deterioration is apparent (holes, tears or cracks etc), the air tubing should be discarded and replaced. Slight discoloration may occur and is acceptable. Packaging and storage Store in a dry, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight. Storage temperature: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C).

To reassemble the water tub lid: 1. Insert one side of the lid into the pivot hole of the base. 2. Slide the other side down the ridge until it clicks into place. Packaging and storage Store in a dry, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight. Storage temperature: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C).
Data management and therapy compliance For therapy compliance management, the AirSense 10 device stores patient data on the device and has the ability to transfer it remotely to the care provider. Data can then be accessed via ResMed's ™ AirView compliance management solution.
Data storage The AirSense 10 device stores patient compliance data such as AHI, Total Hours Used and Leak. Detailed Data such as snore and pulse rate, as well as high resolution flow and pressure data, are stored on the SD card. Data can be transmitted to therapy management software either remotely via cellular communication, or via SD card.
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.
