AirCurve 10 ASV vs AirCurve 10 VAuto - David Clark - 01-26-2022
I'm just wondering what the main differences between the two machines are. They look really similar. I'm still really new with all this and don't understand a lot. From what I can tell the ASV treats CA while the VAuto does not. I have some CA show up on my OSCAR data but I don't know if it's treatment induced or what. I've only been using my pap for 3 weeks and I really don't know that I want to put out $3000 more than I did for the VAuto on another unit. Since the machines appear so similar is there a way to "tweak" the VAuto to make it do what the ASV does?

The Resmed Sleep Lab Titration guide is a great over view of all the Resmed machines, and you can learn more about your Vauto and the ASV https://document.resmed.com/en-us/documents/products/titration/s9-vpap-tx/user-guide/1013904_Sleep_Lab_Titration_Guide_amer_eng.pdf We generally don't move to the ASV unless efficacy is not achieved with the less expensive machine. A few CA events is not a reason to use ASV. Read the Guide and ask your questions is a bit narrower context.
