How to Adjust Humidity on AirSense 10 and AirCurve by ResMed CPAP and BiPAP machines

[@Ghoulbum]

Your video was more helpful than the people who sold me the machine. They didn't even mention attaching the tube to get those control options. Thank you.

[@CPAPmyway]

Happy to help. Thanks for watching.

I’ve not been able to sleep Since I got my new machine. I have been waking up with my nose itching terribly. I pray switching to manual and turning humidity up helps. Thanks for the video

Thank you for pointing out the difference between tubing attachment (regular & Heated) it almost drove me nuts trying to reduce humidity on a heated tubing.

[@CPAPmyway]

Glad it helped

[@sandyfeister3354]

Thank you for this! I have been waking up super dry and couldn't figure out how to increase the humidity. Didn't realize there were different options if the hose isn't attached. Thanks again!

[@CPAPmyway]

You are very welcome

[@GabrielaSofiaChai]

Excellent, thank you! I disconnected the hose, and voila, option to adjust humidity. I did not find information on the cpap equipment site anywhere for this.

[@CPAPmyway]

Glad it was helpful.

[@SoPlayerLive]

Do you know what humidity/ tube temp setting would provide maximum humidity without causing rainout? I live in a very dry climate and the auto humidity setting is not enough humidity for me but when I try and use manual setting. I get rain out during my sleep or whistling, hissing begins which wakes me up?

[@CPAPmyway]

Are you using a heated tube?

[@SoPlayerLive]

@@CPAPmyway yes

[@glenplummer4083]

I have a problem with Humidity, on a RESMED Air Sense 10 BIPAP. I/m using a Climate Line with O2 Nipple and 1 Liter of Oxygen. If I put it on auto I get too much Humidity. If I put it on manual and set Humanity to 1 with a hose temperature of 70 I get too much and my sinuses clog up. If I turn off humidity and leave the hose temp to 70 I don't get enough humidity, but my sinuses open up but I get a little dry. What do I do?

[@fiercekrypton]

When I run it on 4 I wake up with a bone dry mouth, it takes 10 or so seconds to get moisture back and my mouth feels numb...not cool... when I raise it to 5 or 6 my water reservoir runs out after 3-4 hrs.... and I have to refill in the middle of the night...what gives?

[@CPAPmyway]

That is a tough one. Check out this video to see if it can help. It is a our Dry mouth video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmfKi32GqNhprNk

[@derekd4221]

same sort of thing for me. always get dry, it's a low setting im dry and theres water still in the chamber. if it's a high setting, the chamber empties right sway and im super dry. I don't understand why they dont make a bigger reservoir which would likely solve the problem of dry out

[@CPAPmyway]

@@derekd4221 Yeh, we have heard that with a handful of people. I am sorry that you are experiencing that.

[@fiercekrypton]

@@derekd4221 a lot has changed for me in 2 months.. I gradually dropped my pressure from 15 to like 9.2 and turned epr up to 2 or 3 so that it doesn't blow air into my mouth the second I stop breathing out... when I started I thought "oh dry mouth let me crank up humidity" but ultimately a pressure of 15(esp with no epr)is just unsustainable, way to much air going down your throat. I basically decided I'd rather have an api of under 3 than have a super high air pressure. Good luck, keep fiddling.

[@hidinfrombiden6251]

@@fiercekrypton I was recently put on one of these same machines but mine is black. I've only been using it for 2 weeks but I had to wait over 8 months to get my machine & I'm kinda dissapointed at the quality of sleep I've been getting, because I heard so many people tell me that this machine was going to change my life. So far it has, just not for the better😂. I'm having the same issues. They have my pressure set on 12.0 and I'm running out of water after 3 or 4 hours as well. My mouth and throat is still super dry even after using a whole tank of water. I plan on calling my Dr and seeing if they will turn it down a bit as I'm trying my best to commit to using the machine but if they can't turn it down then I'd rather die in my sleep than keep dealing with this thing lol.

[@bipedalnonsense]

I ran on 4 and felt like the Sahara Desert. I was told by provider to put to 5 and turn my heat up. Now I have condensation in my mask. So I called my sleep doctor and his respiratory specialist told me to turn the temp down to what my ambient room temperature is…. Is this… a good idea? I’m waking up feeling croupy and having issue breathing easily. I’m afraid of getting pneumonia but I’m also worried my teeth will begin to chip if I have such dry air.

[@CPAPmyway]

Ambient room conditions are a good starting point. I am assuming if you are seeing temps that you are using a heated hose right? The heated hose is a key in that deal.

[@mikegunn3152]

Great video direct and to the point..... Very Helpful 👍🏾

You are welcome

[@StarringDonell]

Wat should we adjust if our cpap is waking us up in night sweats?

[@CPAPmyway]

That is a tough one. Sounds like an AC issue to me, but if it is a CPAP issue that would be a Dr question i think.

[@willowwind1208]

Mine just says climate control and then when I push it in it says Auto or manual so if I select manual it doesn't let me adjust it. What else can I do to turn it up

[@CPAPmyway]

If you select manual it should open up another set of settings with temperature selection.

[@JaneCoffman-w1m]

I do not have a humidity level option under ramp time when I scroll through. Waking up miserably dry. It is on auto. Water does decrease overnight. But this miserable. Help

[@CPAPmyway]

That is kinda weird. The humidity setting should be there unless it has been disabled somehow. Maybe check in the clinical menu.

[@deborahannlindsay5433]

I don’t have a humidity selection. Climate control then tube temp. I have been waking up with extreme dry mouth and throat

You should be able to turn up the temperature setting on the tube and the humidifier system. Also you may want to check out our dry mouth video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmfKi32GqNhprNk

My Bipap machine has been set to 81 degrees and auto (setting 4). The water vessel runs out of water in 7 hours or less of use, leaving me with dry mouth when I wake up. How to extend the length of time for it to last?

[@CPAPmyway]

You can try to reduce the humidifier setting from 4 to 3.

Thank you!

[@richw1907]

what is the adjustment to keep my nose from being too cold??? thanks

[@CPAPmyway]

You might could increase the humidity level, but it mostly has to do with your room temp. The CPAP is moving your room air and you might want to increase your room temp a bit.

[@RaC09]

Quick and helpful. Great. I do not like warm air, but I'd like to use my heated tube. Can you please suggest the settings that would help me get the best out of my Airsence 10 and heated tube? Thanks

[@CPAPmyway]

You can just reduce the tube temp until you are comfortable.

[@RaC09]

@@CPAPmyway Thanks .

[@prabalbasuroy6458]

Hi....very useful. But dryness continues even at 8. Could it be a malfunction in tge humidifier? The starting panel when the machine is running shows the setting and the humidifier icon in RED, not green like the other icons. Is that normal? Thanks

[@CPAPmyway]

It sounds like it is working correctly, but you may want to consider a heated tube for that AirSense 10. It can make a huge difference. Link below. cpapmyway.com/store/disposable-cpap-parts/tubing/resmed-climatelineair-cpap-tube

It preheats the water in the chamber so that it is operating at full humidity as soon as you turn it on. It is good for people in cool climates.

[@39dominikhasek]

My CPap Airsense 10 doesn’t have the Tube Temp on the display despite me plugging in the heated tubing? It just shows the manual humidity control. How do I get the tumb. Temp. Control display to appear?

[@CPAPmyway]

I think that you have an issue in that case. I would clean the connector on the heated tube plug and try again. If that doesn't work you should try a new tube. Link Below. If that doesn't work, then you may have a bad plug on the CPAP itself. cpapmyway.com/store/disposable-cpap-parts/tubing/resmed-climatelineair-cpap-tube

[@dougofford6567]

In the my options menu I have no access to humidity or temperature etc. How do I access that feature like the Tech did at the store?

[@CPAPmyway]

You would have to change the access from essential to plus in the clinical menu

[@kmsfieldhockey32]

Do you think raising humidity would help with dry and peeling skin where mask is? I use nasal cushion and wake up with peeled dry skin where mask sits.

[@CPAPmyway]

I would give it a try for sure.

[@maryellenanderson817]

Air is to hot...is it controlled with the humidity or climate line tube? I'm on a Bi-Pap if that makes a difference...

Both ways can help. I would reduce the humidity and the tube temp

I've been getting rainout in my nose pillow mask . This video is very helpful . Just so I'm clear I'm going to turn down the humidity & I then do what with the tube temp? 1) let it stay at auto? 2) Turn temp up? or 3) Turn temp down? If you're able to let me know I'd be very grateful. Thank you so much .

[@CPAPmyway]

Fist step should be auto. Then if it continues change it to manual and adjust it up.

[@reedrothchild7966]

@@CPAPmyway thank you so much

[@biskit_55]

If the airsense 10 with a heated tube is set to auto climate that sets humidity to a 4 so in order to have humidity more than a 4 does it have to be on a manual setting? Everytime I change it to 6 then put back on auto and look it is back to 4

[@CPAPmyway]

You may have to manually adjust the Auto CLimate part to a manual setting.

[@ernieromo2137]

I changed the humidity setting on my cpap but the next night I checked it again and it was back to 4. It won’t hold the lower setting. How do I fix this. Thanks

[@CPAPmyway]

It should not be changing itself. Do you think that your supplier has adjusted it remotely maybe?

[@kevinclark1348]

So it appears that I need a climate control hose vs the standard that I currently have. I notice condensation or water drip on me in the the sleep cycle. I however do not have an option to increase the tube temp. But it appears that if I get a climate control hose, that option will appear on my settings. Is this correct? I do have an airsense 10 autoset. Thank you.

[@CPAPmyway]

Yes as soon as you plug in the climate tube, you will see that setting made available to you.

[@youtubered8016]

What temperature needs be if humidity 4

[@CPAPmyway]

You will have to adjust it to your preference. Turn up the temp if you have condensation in the tube at all.

[@nancysharpe9573]

Hi, I have extreme dry mouth and are having a difficult time getting it to stop. I’m up to 7 but it’s not taking care of it all what is your suggestion? I have called my sleep clinic but they aren’t real helpful at this problem. I keep taking my mask off during the night because of this so I am tired in the morning Any suggestions? Please

[@CPAPmyway]

If you are not using a heated tube, then I would definitely get one of those. Link to that below. I also have a link to our Dry Mouth blog which is very helpful. cpapmyway.com/store/disposable-cpap-parts/tubing/resmed-climatelineair-cpap-tube cpapmyway.com/blog/dry-mouth-on-cpap-fix

[@chuckayers3775]

What is recommended for humidifier to be adjusted too also what is smart start for Thank you

[@CPAPmyway]

Smart start is the Auto on feature. It turns the CPAP on when you put your mask on. Humidifier setting is very different for everyone. Turn it up if you are dry and turn it down if you are getting condensation.

[@debrasearcyfrazer9142]

Do you have to put water in it if you set humidity to zero? And at that setting, what should the tube be set on? I'm in Houston where most of the year humidity is high.

[@CPAPmyway]

You do not have to put in water. If you leave it empty then turn the humidifier and tubing off.

[@Bay6768]

I have this same cpap machine but when I attach the hose back on as you did to get the tube temp controls on there my machine doesn't go to those setting ....what am I doing wrong. Or does my machine not come with those settings?

[@schr4pnel]

You need to change the "Climate control" setting to manual

[@CPAPmyway]

You may have a bad tube if the Tube Temp setting does not come up when you hook up the heated tube.

[@BJJandBS]

81 and level 4 is the default for AUTO is what ive been told. each degress you raise the temp you raise the humidity level.

[@perlatejada8422]

I've been having trouble with my airsense 10, it hasn’t been wanting to blow out warmer air. The cold air has been hurting my throat. How can I fix this? Do I need a new machine?

[@CPAPmyway]

You can try increasing the humidifier setting, but it is not built to warm the air. The only warmer is on the water chamber and it is built to heat the water slightly allowing more of the water to evaporate. So the only real way of heating the air you are breathing is by warming your room via air conditioning. The air coming through your CPAP will be close to the temp of your room.

[@jainithompson8565]

Why is the plate under my humidifier not warming up? How do I get the plate to warm up?

[@CPAPmyway]

It has an auto-adjusting humidity. So it may not heat up if it is not needed.

[@jainithompson8565]

@@CPAPmyway it’s warming up & the water is evaporating, but it’s still dry air. I have in on manual & have the humidifier & heat both completely cranked up. No one seems to know what the problem is. Empty tank after just a few hours. No moisture in the air though.

You can not adjust a tube temp without having the heated hose. You can adjust the humidity setting though.

[@drburrhus]

If there is blood when you blow in the morning does that mean you need to raise the humidity or turn the temp down?😊

I would raise the humidity first to see if that helps.

[@jimwolfe6518]

What does the Auto setting do? How does it work?

[@CPAPmyway]

It monitors your room temperature and humidity settings to determine how much humidity can be added. So that you don't over do it and end up with rain out.

So I put it on 4 which leaves me excessively dry, waking up like 10 times a night.with my gums glued together and still it runs out of water about.2 hours before I need to get up!?!
