ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet Connected CPAP Machine

About the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet

From the global leader in sleep technology, the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet is an advanced Auto-CPAP machine designed to provide effective sleep apnea therapy. Featuring auto-adjusting settings that tailor the air pressure to your needs throughout the night, the AirSense 10 AutoSet provides individualized therapy that promotes a peaceful night’s sleep. Unlike traditional CPAP machines that deliver a continuous level of air pressure, the AirSense 10 AutoSet responds to your breathing patterns and adjusts accordingly, ensuring you receive optimal therapy with minimal disruption.

The ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet also offers other premium features to enhance the overall therapy experience, including an integrated HumidAir heated humidifier, which is crucial for preventing the dryness and irritation that can occur with CPAP use. Enhanced comfort features, nearly noiseless operation and advanced bluetooth connectivity are just a few of the things that make the AirSense 10 AutoSet one of the most coveted CPAP machines available today.  

ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her

The ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her variant offers a tailored therapy algorithm that caters specifically to female users. This separate model is designed to account for the unique needs and sleep patterns often observed in women, making it a thoughtful and inclusive addition to the AirSense lineup.

ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine Card-to-Cloud 

In addition to the built-in bluetooth enabled model, ResMed also offers an alternative with the AirSense 10 AutoSet Card-to-Cloud CPAP machine that features all the same components but instead supports the use of an SD card to store sleep data without cellular connectivity. The reports can then be uploaded to the cloud to be shared with your provider. Since the card-to-cloud model does not have wireless data transmission capabilities, it is not compatible with the myAir support program and app.

ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet Price 

If you are interested in the features and benefits of the AirSense 10 AutoSet, you’ll need to first talk to a healthcare professional to discuss the right treatment options for you; a CPAP prescription is required in order to obtain one of these machines. 

Once your doctor has provided you with a prescription, you’ll need to contact your insurance provider to better understand what is or is not covered under your specific plan. They can direct you to find a CPAP equipment store in your area or the best places to shop online. 

The pricing of the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet typically starts at $700, and goes up to $1000 for the bluetooth connected model. The unit’s advanced features and capabilities justify it’s higher price point than more basic models.

Some suppliers offer a trial period, allowing users to test the machine’s suitability, as well as free shipping, so it’s smart to explore different options before committing. 

Comparing the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet vs 11: Which is Better? 

While the AirSense 10 AutoSet is one of the top machines on the market for treating sleep apnea, the recently released AirSense 11 AutoSet has a few upgrades and a sleeker design that may be appealing. In addition to a more modern look and lower power drawl, the AirSense 11 offers enhanced connectivity, such as the Test Drive feature that helps you acclimate to your machine, full touchscreen interface, over-the-air software updates, and optimized assistance and support to help you start and maintain your therapy routine. The AirSense 11 AutoSet also integrates a female-specific algorithm to provide a dedicated therapy mode for men and women in one device (versus needing a separate machine like the AirSense 10 Auto for Her). 

The AirSense 11 AutoSet typically comes at a higher cost due to its newer features, and some customers attest to preferring the functionality and features of the AirSense 10 AutoSet, making it still a better value overall. The decision between the two models will largely depend on your specific needs and budget.

The Bottom Line: Why We Love It 

The ResMed AirSense 10 series is the most widely used line of CPAP machines in the world, and the AutoSet model is the most advanced and customizable of them all. One of the crowning features is the AutoSet’s ability to automatically adjust the pressure to each individual’s breathing needs, which can often fluctuate throughout the night, to deliver highly personalized therapy for maximum sleep comfort. Its long list of other auto-comfort settings only add to the overall superior therapeutic experience, and the built-in heated humidifier is a huge help in warding off common side effects like dryness and irritation. ResMed offers a fully connected bluetooth enabled AutoSet model that makes it easy for both you and your doctor to track and monitor your progress to make any adjustments and updates quickly and remotely as needed. While the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet does come in at the higher end price-wise, the added comfort features, intuitive operation and full bluetooth and wireless connectivity make it one of the most comfortable and convenient models on the market.
