Description

Automatic Bi-Level Treatment

The AirCurve VAuto is a bi-level therapy device can determine when you’re having a respiratory disturbance. The machine will adjust pressure depending on your needs throughout the night, increasing pressure when you’re having an apnea, and allowing you to operate your device at the lowest pressure setting possible for your therapeutic needs. This not only ensures that you have the least invasive and obtrusive therapy possible, but also that you can save energy if you’re powering your device with a battery as opposed to a plug in cord.

Easy Breathe

Easy Breathe technology works by making your respiratory cycle smooth. Easy Breathe helps to regulate pressure, ensuring that you can exhale at a lower air pressure setting than you inhale at. This helps to make your therapy comfortable and allows you to sleep undisturbed.

Pressure Range

The AirCurve 10 VAuto features a pressure range of 3-25 cm H20, which offers both higher and lower pressure settings than a typical CPAP machine. The elevated pressure capabilities are ideal for patients with severe forms of sleep apnea, who generally require a high pressure setting.

Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR)

One of the top features on the AirCurve line of machines is expiratory pressure relief, also known as EPR. EPR works by decreasing the AirCurve’s pressure at the onset of each of your breaths and then limiting pressure through exhalation. Pressure will drop by one, two, or three cm of pressure depending on your settings and personal preferences. These pressure reductions occur gradually and will help you stay asleep while you breathe throughout the night. EPR also is capable of detecting an unnatural respiration: if an apnea lasts for longer than ten seconds, EPR will stop functioning until you resume your normal breathing cycle.

AirView Data Management

ResMed is offering a new data management service where your sleep apnea information can be stored to the cloud and retrieved via your doctor for easy read outs. AirView can also send alerts to your phone via text or voice mail or through email to alert you of mask leaks and other potential issues with your CPAP therapy. Free service with purchase of a machine at RespShop. Please contact RespShop customer service to register your machine. Read more about AirView Data Management.

SmartStart, SmartStop

The AirCurve 10 VAuto allows you to start and terminate your therapy easily with SmartStart/SmartStop. Once your settings have been programmed into the device, you can commence therapy simply by turning your machine on and breathing into your mask. Using SmartStop is just as simple: to end therapy, just remove your mask and your machine will shut off after a few seconds.

HumidAir Humidification

ResMed overhauled their humidification system with the AirCurve series. Now, the new Humidair heated humidifier comes as a part of every AirCurve VPAP, which helps to make the machine a bit smaller and more portable than previous models. If you don’t normally use heated humidification, you still have the option of receiving therapy without it: simply remove the humidifier or leave the water chamber empty. For users who do like heated humidification, fill the 380 ml water chamber and enjoy protection against unwanted symptoms like nasal congestion and rainout.

Brand New Ramp

The AirCurve features a slightly tweaked ramp device from previous ResMed VPAP models. In the AirCurve 10 Auto you can delay the onset of pressure for up to 45 minutes, allowing you to fall asleep naturally and without an injection of air pressure. After a time, the ramp will kick in and increase pressure until the machine reaches your desired settings. This will allow you to fall asleep easily without compromising the quality of your therapy, and is particularly recommended for patients adjusting to CPAP therapy.

Bright Screen; New Controls

The AirCurve 10 Auto is ResMed’s most intuitive line of VPAP’s yet. The machine comes with a bright and easy to use screen and features large buttons and simple controls. The machine automatically adjusts screen brightness based on the available surrounding light, allowing you to see your screen easily at all hours of the day and night.

Optional ClimateLineAir Tubing

Every ResMed 10 machine is compatible with the new ClimateLineAir heated tube. The tube seamlessly connects between your mask and machine and allows you to breathe warm air all night long. The tube ferries warm air from the humidifier to your airways, further bolstering your defenses against symptoms like nasal congestion and rainout.

Mask Fitting

The AirCurve also comes with a mask fitting feature that detects the quality of your seal right on the machine! The system is capable of reporting whether your mask is on correctly or if it needs to be fastened: a happy face will appear on the screen if your mask is on properly while a frown indicates that your mask requires adjustment for successful therapy.
