ResMed AirSense 10 Questions
Hello,
My wife has an appointment to get a new machine (ResMed 10).
She currently has a ResMed S9 w/Humidifier with a set pressure of 11.8. Personally we have tweaked it a couple of times for comfort. Overall she is happy with the S9.
I just confirmed the ResMed supplier we are getting it from on Friday says the order they received from the doctor says a "SET" pressure of 7 with the auto mode "off". They said they all have auto available on them.
My question, am I able to adjust the pressure by depressing the buttons for 3 seconds as mentioned in the clinician manual that's uploaded on this site?
Second question, am I able to turn the auto setting (APAP) on myself as well in that menu.
Third question, are
all of the ResMed AirSense 10 units capable of turning the APAP setting on/off and turning on/off the "For Her" setting??
Thanks!
RE: ResMed AirSense 10 Questions
There are three versions of the Resmed Airsense 10: CPAP, Elite and Autoset. The CPAP is a fixed CPAP machine that does not record data. Do not accept this machine. The Elite is a fixed CPAP that is capable of full efficacy data and is a good CPAP. The Autoset is fully data capable and can be set to a range of pressures.
The Clinical menu on all 3 is accessed the same way by pushing the home button and control knob.
If you want a different machine, or want to ensure you are given an Autoset, ask your doctor to prescribe the Auto CPAP. You (and he) can justify this by saying it has been a while since her last sleep study, and you know she needs to self titrate. This is obvious from the changes in her pressure settings. Get your doctor involved, and you should be able to revise the prescription to be "auto cpap with humidifier and minimum CPAP pressure of 8.0 and maximum CPAP pressure of 13.

I didnt know that about the recording of data on the standard machine. Yes we want the data.
I however was thinking that based on the menu choices on this link, that each machine had the ability to do cpap, apap, and apap for her.
