Connection Problems with MyAir

I'm not sure I need an SD card. The lady that showed me how to work the machine never mentioned it. Also, a lot of people are saying I can get an SD card just about anywhere, CVS, Target , Walmart. I called those places and they had nothing to do with cpap machines. Thanks for your help

Thanks for the photos. I can't get any supplies for my cpap for about a month and I want to buy some cleaning products, mask wipes, ...etc. I wanted to check with the community before I did anything. Thanks again

As far as cleaning products, A lot of us here use a liquid dish soap like Dawn or baby shampoo. . . nothing elaborate. You can buy an SD card at your drugstore or Walmart. Any size 2Gb or larger will work.

FWIW: for cleaning I go very cheap. Yes, I do clean the mask, heated hose, and humidifier tub despite any rumors that I do not. I keep it simple, very warm water and Dawn or equivalent dish soap. Light scrubbing via plastic human shower scrubby thingy for the mask, dedicated to task. Soak in suds for about a half hour and rinse. Air dry for a few hours while trying new coffees. Done.

And ANY SD card will be a good choice as long as it is not larger than 32 GB. It does have to be one you'll dedicate to CPAP use only though IMO. You don't want/or can't mix CPAP files with others. I can be corrected if I got this wrong.

If you want to monitor your own health, you will need it.

SD cards are not specific to CPAP machines. They are simply data storage devices. You can get one anywhere electronic gear is sold.

I've only been using a cpap for a week and this site is great. A great sense of community. I remember reading somewhere that I shouldn't use anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid. You seem to be saying it's ok. Also, do you clean the water tank the same way?  I ordered some mask wipes and hose cleaning soap on Amazon today. It wasn't too expensive. What's your opinion of using them? Thanks

My resmed airsense 10 has SD on the left side. I can open the rubber panel on the bottom and it has a slot about 5/8" wide. The SD card can't be that small. I searched on Amazon for an SD card specific to my machine but no luck.

The SD is the label on the door. Notice the tiny blue tab on the front edge, at the bottom? I think that's supposed to be a door handle. It seems to be just a friction fit; I use my fingernail behind that little tab to pop the door open. The bottom door (very easy to open) is where the ResMed oximetric monitor plugs in.

You won't find a "ResMed" or "AirSense 10" SDHC card. Just ensure it's an HC, and 32 gig is the common size.

Hopefully these pics will help:

  Good job!!
