You are the best, Nicko! Been with Philips System One Auto CPAP for 10+ years. Now switching to ResMed. Thanks for your great tutorials & your videos. Very informative!

[@ducatitastic]

I can't thank you guys enough for these three videos on setting up a Resmed 10. I've had mine three years now and have been disappointed with the benefits I get, I've had the dry mouth and waking up with a belly full of air but thanks to your videos I've accessed the hidden menu and fine tuned the settings to suit me and have just had the best night's sleep in ages, thanks again.

[@CPAPReviews]

Great to hear it Michael. It's these sorts of comments that make it worthwhile. Kind regards Nick

[@rsmith3339]

Thank You So Very Much! With Your Great help, I was able to "tune" the settings. My lab test results = 24 AHI without CPAP. Set to prescription, 5.8 AHI over the first 3 months. 12 months after tuning, 2.4 AHI average. And the last three months average is 1.8 AHI. 90% pressure average is 5.8. Great nights of sleep and real rest. Every month my body is adjusting to having better, real sleep. At age 68, my snoring and big body shakes have gone away. I did take a month between each change (done in steps), so I knew if the results were proven. Thanks

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

I have had my ResMed AirSense since January 2015 and have not had a single problem with it and it is still working as good as the day I got it. The SD memory card makes it a lot easier than taking the whole machine in so the pulmonologist can get the data from it.

[@mmitchell3540]

Thank you so much Nick. We're going to get the hypoallergenic filters and fiddle with the clinical settings. He may also need to try a different mask. He has to wear a full-face and he has a small chin so he's not really getting a good seal. You've really given us some good ideas to try! He's making friends with his machine!

It is operating correctly. Air flows for 30 mins to dry out the humidification inside the tube.

I really enjoyed your tutorial thank you very much it was very very helpful.

In the video you mentioned an attachment that would allow you to remove the humidifier chamber, place this attachment on the machine and use the CPAP. I don't use the humidifier anyway.

[@amywells6760]

So happy I found this video. I've used this machine for 4 days now and am feeling very frustrated and like giving up. Having a difficult time exhaling, for lack of a more polite way to describe it, I wake up to what sounds like farting sounds as I exhale and the mask seal is broken. I've tightened it and it didn't seem to hep. I turned the Pressure Relief off. Also the water level in the reservoir doesn't change throughout the night despite me turning up the humidity level. I did notice that the tubing I received is different, it is not this heated tube that you show here. Wondering if the company gave me the wrong kind? The sleep report shows I have both a good mask fit and that the humidifier function are working fine. Any guidance is appreciated.

[@kev0lution]

The thing is, some people don't have the time to clean this thing that thoroughly as often as you explain. It would be nice to forget life for an hour to clean a cpap machine tube and everything but for many that is not possible especially when you have other medical issues to prepare for each night. I feel like a robot now more than a human. Having to take pills to operate each day and a machine to keep me breathing while i sleep. At some point, ya just say. I cant do all of this. I clean it up the best I can and change the supplies as much as I can when I remember.

[@bertsnyder8492]

Hi Nick. Enjoyed your advice. What is a good pillow type mask to use with this machine. Thanks Bert

[@dorothycoyne5197]

Watching your videos. And they are very clear. I don’t know why but I seem to take mask off after 1-3 hours. Last night was a little past one hour.. Miya machine does not start out slow. It seems to ramp up very quickly after I put it on. I just got a new nasal pillow mask. It feels like that was a good idea. Maybe I am retiring too late.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Dorothy, thanks for that. People take the mask off in their sleep for a variety of reasons and it's sometimes hard to figure out exactly why. It can be that the pressure is too high and it's causing mask leaks and overwhelming you or it could be that it's too low and you're still having apnea events which can make you feel suffocated. It sounds like to me you might be struggling with the machine ramping up the pressure too quickly so perhaps either set a long ramp time which will gradually build up the pressure over a longer period of time or put a limit on the pressure levels so it can't go too high and wake you up. Have a great day Nick

[@kathlynsteinman3599]

My filter door came off last night when I tried to change my filter. I can't figure out to reattach it. How do we fix that, please? I've had this same brand machine for 6 years and never had this happen. This is my second Airsense 10, by the way, but my first one was, too.

Can these ozone disinfect cleaners damage the machine? I heard ozone breaks done plastic to hurts the electronics

It was usually around 13.5 - 14.5 breaths per minute and has now jumped to 15.8 and 16.9? Is this just my body getting used to breathing against air pressure? Is this something you’ve seen before?

Is there something I should have done to avoid the rust? Thank you

Hi Nick. I always enjoy your videos. They are very helpful. I returned to use of a CPAP machine after almost 12 years. Yes I was part of the 50% that quit using CPAP. I know use a Resmed 10 with a P10 nasal mask. It is much more comfortable than the one that I used years ago. I've got one question. My Resmed 10 does not stop the flow when I turn the device off. It continues to blow air trough the mask for about 30 minutes. Have you haver encounter this situation? - Should I return my device? - Please help. Thank you.

None of the tutorials address where the tubing is hooked up. Is it just one end in the back and the other end on top of the head gear? I would like to see a tutorial from beginning until end, including attaching frame to headgear and putting on mask. Even the tutorial my RT sent me does not cover this. The instructions are confusing to me!

I just got this from the hospital, as a prescription from my doctor and I am looking forward to try it. Got both nose and nose and mouth masks, including humidifier etc. I hope it will help me. After tests I had 33 stops of breathing per hour and the longest one was 28 seconds, while the shortest one was 11 seconds. I guess I definitely need this.

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks for your comment. Best wishes

[@moonze1769]

@@CPAPReviews Well, I am using this machine for a few days now and altought it's not so much time heres first impressions: - the sound is acceptable, it's not so loud, my wife can handle it, much better than my snoring to be honest, so that's ok - the first night I tried with nose mask and it was ok, I did not had any problems - the second night I tried the other mask, including humidity and it started well but after few hours it woke me up loud sound since the mask moved a bit and I couldn't fix it easier to stop sound so I just removed it and continued without it - night after that it was the same, so definitely I am doing something not so good because the mask just move a bit and start to make loud noise which even wakes my wife - last night I tried to nose mask once again and it was no problems There is only one thing which I am not so found of in both masks, and that's air blowing out (not so fast and loud to be honest) near the mask itself ... but I guess air has to get out somehow. All in all, so far so good, I understand it takes some time to get used to it so I will just continue trying to find the right solution, way of using it ... And one more thing, machine itself looks great, all equipment looks really well designed, all features in settings looks helpful. I think it's gona be ok. I will come back with more infos after some time. But so far, I would recommend it ...

[@NewOrleansgirl003]

I had my sleep study they say I wake up 103 times they say that is not good at all

[@moonze1769]

Here I am again. After several months of using it I can tell I am more than satisfied with this. My wife as well since I am not snoring any more. There is only one thing, sometimes during the night when I turn towards her she can feel air blowing at her and she has to wake me up or just push me to turn on another side. But it rarely happen. Also, I figure out about the whole mask that air blowing is because I stop to breathe and machine turns pressure so that was the thing. But anyhow, I like nose mask more and I just came back from a vacation and I had it with me all the time of course. Very light machine, easy to carry anywhere and easy to mount and use. My sleeping is much better, usually I turn to sleep few seconds or minutes after I put machine on my nose. No more snoring, sleeping is better, I feel much better in the morning compared with months before and that's it. For any questions feel free to ask. Good luck to everyone.

[@davidjohnston1374]

Hi Nick, great channel mate, thankyou for your guidance. A question about cleaning the humidifier chamber, is it wrong to use ordinary tap water? I know I get the discolouring in my plastic chamber and want to know if it's ok to use the CLR Calcium, Lime & Rust remover product in the chamber to give it a good clean up. Not always possible to get hold of distilled water.

[@CPAPReviews]

G'day Brother! Cheers for the kind words :-). Yeah it's a great question. So the main reason that the manufacturers recommend distilled water over tap is that the tap water contains minerals and as the water evaporates the minerals get left behind which can cause the discolouration and sediment build up etc. I don't know about using the CLR mate so i wouldn't want to give you the wrong advice but it's probably toxic i would think so might be best to avoid. I know that some people use white vinegar and dilute it in water. From memory it might be like 1 part vinegar to 5 parts water and then you just leave it in the chamber for a day and then rinse and give a good scrub. We have a product here in Australia which is a descaler and it's brilliant. I'm not sure where you are located but here's the link www.remsleep.com.au/product/ecodescaler-chamber-cleaner-500ml/ Have a great day legend

[@carcophan]

just use white vinegar and let it soak for 5-10 minutes, then clean with dish detergent as normal. the vinegar dissolves all the mineral buildup from the tap water. i wouldn't use CLR in a cpap.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Virginia, Yes the setting is called EPR (expiratory pressure relief). You would want this set to 3 ( i imagine it probably is already though ). The first couple of weeks are always a bit of a challenge as his lungs will have never had to breathe against any sort of pressure so it will take some time for them to get use to it. In time it won't feel like such a big effort to breathe out and it will feel more natural. Just takes time. Best wishes

[@Quickmilt]

Nick just wondering is the Res-Med machine you are showing us in this 3 part series is it the "AirSence 10 AutoSet" or the "AirSence 10 Elite" ? I am gathering it is the "10 AutoSet". What are the diffences between the two machines?

[@CPAPReviews]

G'day mate, it's the autoset. The difference is the way the machine delivers the pressure. The ELITE is a fixed pressure machine, the machine is programmed to deliver a set pressure and does not vary from that pressure apart from during the RAMP period. The Autoset is a VARIABLE pressure machine or AUTO machine, it self adjust the pressure based on a specific algorithm which varies the pressure based on the information it receives from from a flow sensor which monitors your breathing. The autoset will continually self adjust the pressure to deliver a more tailored therapy whilst the ELITE is set to specific pressure. Hope this helps. Cheers

[@REPPINTHE870]

I currently have a ResMed S9 VPAP but I'm needing a new machine what is the difference between that and this AirSense10? I know theAirSense10 is newer and cheaper but which one is the better machine? I need your advice ASAP

If you have an S9 VPAP then you wan't to upgrade to the ResMed Aircurve VPAP which is the next model up. The AirSense is a standard CPAP / APAP machine and not a VPAP. Cheers. Nick

Hi Nick, just a question regarding humidifier. Is it crucial to use Distilled water ?

[@CPAPReviews]

Hey mate, i personally don't bother. If you empty the water each morning and give it a little scrub with a brush then you should be fine. If you do get some mineral build up on the bottom you can get a liquid descale or even just use some diluted white vinegar which will also work. It's totally up to you but i don't think it's necessary especially if you drink the water out of your tap at home. Cheers

Hi Nick. Just got one of these Airsence 10 to replace my Dreamstation. Only issue I have is the water tank clicks on each inhale and exhale. I searched some forums and it seems to be a common issue but have not seen a fix. Are you aware of this problem and know of a fix?

Hi Simon, no i have not heard of this issue! Clicking water chamber. I have heard of some other issues with leaking water chamber but nothing to do with the noise. Let me know if you find a fix mate. I'd consider getting a replacement from ResMed if you feel it might be faulty. Cheers

[@lucilogarcia5066]

Hey Nick! I was wondering why the water tank waisting so much water.

[@CPAPReviews]

What do you mean 'waisting' ? Cheers

[@Timthornton1]

Smart start, in the old days it was called auto start.

[@CPAPReviews]

Smart start is a little different but much of a muchness

[@roadhouse2476]

Just got the machine but soon my first use it says 'high leak detected, connec your tubing'. I cant feel much pressure in the mask unless I really put effort into blowing air back into the mask and I cant feel any leaks In the mask. I can however feel air coming from the side the water tank and from where the tube connects to the back of the machine any tips to fix this cause the machine stops working all together when this alert comes up and it happens after about 5 seconds of starting

[@CPAPReviews]

Mate i would be taking it back. Shouldn't be any air coming out of the machine apart from at the tube. Cheers

Hi Nick - You mention there's an additional part (side plate) required to use this CPAP without humidifier. When traveling, I don't usually bother hunting down distilled water that I can't take on a plane with me, so running w/o the humidifier is something I do frequently. Is the extra part necessary or can one just attach the hose to one of the ports inside the humidifier chamber?

i know its been 2 years since this is asked. i just got the machine myself and found this. maybe it will help someone else. note that i have not purchased this myself, nor have i used this site... www.thecpapshop.com/resmed-aircurve-airsense-10-side-cover

[@WakeUpAmerican000s]

@@carcophan - Thank you Jay. That is a good source for the Cover Panel. I got mine there 2 yrs ago for about $16. The ResMed A10 CPAP must have either this cover or the humidifier installed when using it. I like the cover panel to protect the CPAP innards when traveling, and for sleeping without the humidifier. One CAN sleep with an empty humidifier chamber if you don't have access to distilled water. I dislike that this cover panel is difficult to disassemble for cleaning. (there's a foam sponge 'muffler' inside it) but overall glad to have it.

what do people do with there old cpap machine,s I bought a resmed

[@fernandos.8158]

I have the same machine. It replaced the other one I had. Have had this one for about 2 yrs. I noticed that it has started to squeak every time I breath. The sound comes from the area where the filter is. How can I fix this? I have checked it to make sure the passage is clear but it is getting annoying. I use to only hear soft air flowing through without squeaks. Thanks.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hey man, i'm not sure to be honest. Have you tried turning off / down the EPR levels (pressure relief) that normally helps. Let me know how you go as they should be very quiet. They're regarded as the most quiet cpap in the world. Cheers

Theres a leak of air from my open mouth, what could i do besides changing the mask? Any settings could help?

[@CPAPReviews]

No a whole lot you can do in this regard. You can trial a 'chin strap' for extra support but it's a bit fiddly and more straps aint exactly enjoyable. Probably best to try a full face mask like the F30i or AmaraView if the chin strap doesn't work. Can also try lowering the cpap pressure to see if that helps but keep an eye on your AHI level so it doesn't go much over 10. Best of luck

[@themilkman1188]

Do they sell a larger humidifier water tank? I sleep 8 hrs with humidity set at 5 (which I like) and the tank is near empty from being topped off the night before at the max level. Having dry mouth in the morning sucks.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi there, not that i know of. You could always just buy a room humidifier though which would humidify the room air. Cheers

[@larrywolken9215]

Great - very informative and helpful - Thanks!...BUT I'd love to hear more of your voice and less of the echo in the room. A wireless lav mic is inexpensive and would give your presentations a more professional sound. Plus, the average age of your audience is probably at a point where they may be starting to lose their hearing a bit. Having said that thanks again and keep 'em coming.

My Resmed Airsense 10 is only three years old and has worked well until recently. Last night, the cpap stopped and displayed a "High Leak" alert. I checked the mask leakage and it was not any worse then previously. I have never had this alert before and concerned that the next time I won't get up and end up breathing my own exhaust all night and being deprived of oxygen! Is there a way to turn off the "High Leak" alert and not stopping the cpap? HELP! I plan to cross-post this same question eelsewhere on the subject since it is very important that I find a solution to this issue ASAP. I checked the "SmartStart" and it is set to "Off". Thank you in advance.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Art, don't worry, cpap machines are designed so people don't suffocate if they turn off in the middle of the night and the patient continues sleeping. Check out my part 3 video which walks you through the clinical settings. From memory you should be able to turn off - auto off in the settings. Cheers

[@artparodies]

@@CPAPReviews Hi @CPAP Reviews. After checking with some of the folks on a Cpap forum, I made sure to see that the humidifier chamber was properly seated and also turned "SmartStart" from "Off" to "On". Not sure which did the job, but I was able to sleep with the Resmed Airsense 10 all night and not received the "High Leak" alert. Thank you for your quick response and the assurance that I would not suffocate if I don't wake on the alert in the middle of the night.

[@IDNHANTU2day]

Do I have access to the EPR or is that set by the doctor who subscribed. My trouble is that sometimes I have 20 LBs of (auto-adjusted) pressure shooting out of mouth. What wakes me up is the dryness and the bitter nasty taste and then of course the rushing air out of my mouth.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi There, check out part 3 of the series and you can turn on the EPR. It might be turned off in the clinical settings. Using your data, have a look at what your average pressure and your 90th percentile pressure is and you can use this as a guide to set a limit on your max auto level. For example, if over a week your average auto pressure was 8 and your 90th percentile pressure was 10, then you can safely set your max auto level to around 10 or 11 and perhaps your min level around 6 or 7 and then monitor your Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) for a week and see how that goes. If your AHI remains below 5 then you could drop that max auto level by 1 again and use it for another week and see if still stays below 5. As long as your AHI is below 5 then you can keep bringing your max auto level down, capping the pressure whilst still maintaining good control of your sleep apnea. This will make the therapy much more enjoyable to use, it will improve mask leaks, make it quieter and stop it waking you up. Definitely check out part 2 and 3 of the series :) Cheers Nick

Been on this 6 months and still not working for me.. you think I need a bipap!?

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi there, you will have to give me a little more information when you say 'not working'. Positive airway pressure always works it's just that some people can't get use to sleeping / breathing with the therapy. I would only recommend a bipap if the main issue you are having is exhaling against the pressure. BiPAP is just easier to exhale with as the machine drops the pressure on the exhale phase. Cheers
