ResMed offers a range of devices for sleep therapy, specifically for treating sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition where a person briefly stops breathing while asleep due to the airways relaxing and narrowing or closing completely. This can happen hundreds of times a night, leading to a lack of oxygen and increasing the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and even vehicle accidents. ResMed's devices, such as the AirSense 11 series, use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or auto-adjusting positive airway pressure (APAP) to deliver air through tubing into a mask, keeping the airway open during sleep. The AirSense 11 series includes models with features like AutoSet technology, which automatically adjusts pressure based on sleep position and stage, and myAir access, which provides tailored coaching and tips to improve sleep. ResMed also offers bilevel PAP machines, which provide lower exhalation pressure for greater comfort, and the ApneaLink Air home sleep testing device, which integrates with AirView software to empower sleep labs with efficient management of the diagnostic process.

Resmed AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her
The ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her is a CPAP machine designed to treat sleep apnea in women. Women typically have smaller airways than men, making them more susceptible to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS). The AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her addresses these issues by offering personalised pressure adjustments, which continuously monitor and adjust the pressure delivered to keep the airways open throughout the night.
The device features auto-adjusting pressure settings, using an intelligent algorithm to adjust the pressure levels based on sleep patterns, ensuring optimal therapy. It also has a built-in humidifier, which helps reduce dryness and irritation in the airways, providing a more comfortable sleep experience. The AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her also has advanced event detection capabilities, ensuring therapy is continuously optimised for maximum effectiveness. It can differentiate between obstructive and central apneas and detect Cheyne-Stokes respiration, ensuring patients receive appropriate therapy and pressure.

Resmed AirCurve 10 bilevel machines
ResMed offers a range of devices for sleep lab use, including the AirCurve 10 bilevel machines, which provide treatment for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition that causes disrupted breathing during sleep, and CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines are a common treatment, delivering pressurised air through a mask to keep the airway open.
The AirCurve 10 bilevel machines have two pressure settings: a higher pressure when the user inhales, and a lower pressure to make exhaling easier. This lower exhalation pressure setting can be as low as 4 cm H2O, providing enhanced comfort for breathing, even when a higher inhalation pressure is required. This feature is particularly useful for those who find it challenging to adjust to sleep therapy. The machine also includes access to the myAir app, which provides a nightly sleep score, coaching, and more.
The AirCurve 10 is an auto-adjusting bilevel machine, meaning it changes airflow pressure levels for both inhalation and exhalation based on the user's needs. Its clinically-proven algorithm, called adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), detects when the user stops breathing and provides a breath. This machine is designed for central sleep apnea, adjusting to individual breathing patterns as they change throughout the night.
The AirCurve 10 VAuto is another auto-adjusting bilevel device that uses the AutoSet algorithm and Easy-Breathe waveform to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It adjusts the baseline pressure to hold the airway open while maintaining a fixed pressure support. The machine also includes built-in cellular technology, providing access to therapy data and remote access to device settings. The AirCurve 10 VAuto is designed to be compatible with up to 4 L/min of supplemental oxygen in all modes.

Resmed ApneaLink Air home sleep testing device
The ResMed ApneaLink Air is a compact, lightweight, and easy-to-use home sleep testing device. It is a cost-efficient, type III home sleep testing device capable of recording up to five channels of information: respiratory effort, pulse, oxygen saturation, nasal flow, and snoring. The device works seamlessly with AirView, providing a comprehensive diagnostic software solution for sleep labs.
The ApneaLink Air device is designed to make home testing easy, with a one-touch stop/start operation and a completion light to indicate the beginning and end of the evaluation. It is also individually cleaned prior to usage, with some orange discolouration due to the germicidal disinfectant and a white film on the hinge elbow due to the natural mineral film deposit left by tap water.
The device may show a red blinking light on the pulse oximeter finger sensor due to excess humidity, sweating, or finger swelling. This indicates that the device is correctly recording data as long as there is a visible red light within the finger sensor. Similarly, a red blinking light on the respiratory effort sensor band is usually due to movement, and the band should be pulled securely and snugly across the chest.
The ApneaLink Air test results are saved to a secure database in the cloud, giving 24/7 online access and improving collaboration. Clinical users can enter new patient details, download device data, and associate device data with a patient. The device can also differentiate between obstructive and central apneas, as well as CSR probability detection.
