This was helpful, no one explains anything they just give you the machine, explain how to clean it and good luck. Thank god for these videos so,helpful.
Absolutely! Yes I hear it all the time. A lot of therapist talk to you about so much extra features that they lose the purpose. I have always like to make simple and stick to the goal. I am so glad you enjoyed there will be more to come. Thanks for your comment!
Can't find the smart on or smart stop option on my machine.
When I get up at night to use the restroom, I have to turn my machine off each time. I miss the auto off from my old machine.. 😮
@@margaretarmijo1062 I am so sorry I did not see this question. If your on the home screen with the Blue and Purple Pinkish options. If you got to My Options the blue option. If you scroll down to the bottom. You have Smart Start and Smart Stop. To the right is a little lever type button they both need to be blue. If not just press so they both are and go back to the home screen. Your smart on and off should work from there. I once again apologize for the super late response. Have a great day!
I’ve been using CPAP machines for eight years and if I clean anything twice a year that’s a lot
Same thing with me. LIncare didn't spend jack shitte of time with me and they didn't even reference good UA-cam videos to watch. I'm bookmarking this.
Thank you, thank you, 1000 times thank you. As others mentioned they get you a machine and you’re mostly on your own. So I’ve watched dozens of videos on the setup and use of the Resmed 11. Your video was the best by far. It really showed me how to setup and use my machine. Also, what is important and realistic cleaning intervals. For years I resisted a CPAP machine. When I became so tired every day, and my blood pressure would climb, I finally got the machine. It’s a life changer. I’m 81 and my energy and stamina are back. That’s why I want to be certain I keep using and maintaining the machine. Which your splendid video will help me do.
Wow! Thank you so much for the encouragement. That is great to hear and I am super happy the video was helpful. Thank you for sharing, it was my pleasure. Let me know if anything is ever needed, I am happy to help!
As for me I think the person and the videos go too fast
I like the simple way he's giving the explanations step by step & very clear great job 👍🏾
I appreciate that really! This is James from the video. I have found over the years simplicity is key. Patient's need to be able to use and not be confused. Too much information can be a bad thing. Let me know if anything is ever needed, I will be happy to help! Thank you once again!
Great video, you answered a lot of questions I might have ended up having. Liked the presentation style, and gave let us know what to really pay attention to and what we can be less worried about.
Awesome, thank you! Glad it was helpful that's very encouraging. Let us know if you need anything I am here to help.
Thanks so much for your down to Earth style, especially regarding air leakage.
You are so welcome!
Received my air sense 11 and made excuses why I couldn't use it for an entire month. Spoke to a close friend about this damn cpap machine. Turns out he's been using a cpap religiously for years. Since I admire and trust my friend and started using the cpap. Now I love the machine. Great video.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. I am happy for you and glad you got past the annoying parts, LOL!
Outstanding points you covered. Being a long-time C-PAP user and having picked up my new machine from the VA. They walked me through using the machine and where to order new supplies. I do like this C-PAP Res-Med way over anything I have used prior. I even take camping and hiking trips. Back up my HALO battery which gives me 3-days. My only suggestion was that I was about to stop your video. At the first intro point tell the viewer everything you going to be covering. That will keep folks like me tuned in longer to watch all the great info and like you this is one if not the BEST of all C-PAP. I would also suggest to anyone over 10 years to get a new SLeep STUDY as things have changed and there is much more they can tell you about your sleeping habits and issues. I learned in RIM sleep (which happens a few times per night) my jaw drops open and I breathe through my mouth. Good Luck.
Thanks for sharing and reaching out! We will keep that in mind for the next video.
Your knowledge and articulation were well understood. You definitely answered many of my concerns. And yes, I just got my machine a week ago and was nervous about not using it correctly.
Thanks again
Glad it was helpful to you! Yes, I try to make simple but get to the meat of the machine and important factors of therapy. Let me know if anything is needed, I would be very happy to help!
This was very helpful to me.Thanks for explaining.
Absolutely! Glad it helped. Simplicity is key a lot of therapist talk so much about all these features that they lose the patient in the mix. It is a very simple thing but we complicate it. There will be much more to come, thanks for your encouragement!
Thank you so much for explaining everything!
Your very welcome! I try to make easy and simple rather then over complicating. Hopefully it was not confusing or complicated. Appreciate the nice comments!
Great video. I never use the bags that come with these, I have bought a few nice camera backpacks and a medical equipment tag. I travel a LOT and have never had one issue with this. The camera bags have quick open sides to pull the device out if you need to for TSA, lots of padding, and enough room to carry most of your usual carryon stuff (tablet, xbox controller, backup battery, sunglasses, umbrella). With the medical equipment tag, I never get questioned, and the backpack I use now works great under seats.
Hey,
Thanks for reaching out! Awesome, that is some good stuff, thank you for sharing.
Great upload. The best way to learn as well is to get hands on. Like a new cell phone, after a week or two of touching, exploring, you will build confidence , and really appreciate the value of this unit. Thank you VA pulmonary unit at Tripler. Never thought I'd say this, but I really love this cpap...I'm at 5.5 hours of continuous sleep now 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing! That is great to hear, many people feel the same. Once you can get passed the kinks and you get the benefit. These machines are life changing in most cases! Let us know if anything is ever needed, we would be happy to help!
Just received this same unit today as a replacement for my Phillips Dream Station. I appreciate you're doing this video to help familiarize me with my new machine. Thanks
Absolutely! I appreciate you giving the time to watch. That is what were doing these videos for to help in anyway. Have a Great Day!! Thank You so much for the nice comment, it is appreciated.
@Sleeplayground Yes, that's right.
Great overview in practical, easily understood terminology...Thank you.
Hi John,
Thanks for the encouragement! Yea, that is exactly what I try to do with all set ups or instruction. Make it simple and really talk about what is needed. Not so much the technical stuff that confuses people. Definitely not trying to dismiss those things they are important. But too much is never good simplicity is key, Glad you enjoyed there will be more to come.
Also, I have the Eson 2 nasal mask - felt restrictive breathing & exhaling UNTIL I removed the diffuser - much easier and enabled me to actually use the mask
Thanks Paul. My first night and your coaching is great. G'Night !
LOL! It is James and you very welcome. Glad you had a successful night, keep it up.
Extremely helpful. Thank you for the complete explanation. P.s. to Cathy Mckeown,
You were lucky, I just received my machine after waiting 5 months and all I got for explanation was I had to sign for u.p.s. God bless this posting
Wonderful! So happy it helped, I try to explain detail but to the point of what is needed. I have done so for years most clinician, doctors etc. Give patient;s the machine and tell them nothing or they tell them so many technical bits of information the patient walks out in either case not knowing. Let me know if anything else is needed I would be happy to help!
"...that's going to fix your sleep apnea for good." Dude is funny and informative. Love it!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching, let me know if anything needed. I would be happy to help!
Thank you for the tutorial. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with. I am on the chat message on our site or you could ask through here.
Thank You for this very informative video!
Hi Fran,
I am very glad you like it. I try to keep simple, not neglecting other information. But making it very patient friendly and simple. Thank you so much for sharing. There will be more to come!
Thank you! Your passion made me want to get this machine. Having issues with my Dream station so gonna switch to this device. Thank you!
Your welcome! Yes, I really believe in these machines and what they can do . I have experience it first hand and in many patients lives throughout the years! Let me know if ever I can help, I would be happy to!
Very well explained and to the point ! Well done , I just subscribe and will listen to other ones. Thanks for the help.
Awesome, thank you for watching! That is exactly what it should be to the point and simple. To many therapist and doctors explain so much, the patient walks away having no clue about how to use the machine. Once you get to the benefit most the time none of that matters. Have a great day and please reach out anytime. I will be happy to try to help!
Thank you, you were more informative than the person that set up my machine. She had it ready to go when I got there and it took 10 minutes and I was gone. Didn't know anything about what to do with it except how to put the mask on and how to adjust it.
Glad I could help, yeah that is what most do when they set patient's up. In and out they do not really explain much. Please let me know if I can help further I would be happy to!
Thank you so much for your explanation. I wake up with dry I going to change it tonight again THANK YOU.
Thank you for watching. Your very welcome let me know if anything is needed. We are here to help!
You are Awesome my Friend!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊👍 The best explanation and presentation of a CPAP machine……Ever. ✅
Wow, thanks you so much for the encouragement! We really appreciate it, I am passionate about what I do and care for patients. Over the many years setting up all age groups, I have found simplicity is key. You need to actually be able to use the machine to get the benefit everyone shouts about. Then if you would like to know more detailed technical information you can. Some people never use because there bombarded with all the medical terminology, advanced features and programs etc. They walk out of the office or the tech leaves the home and they have no idea what to do, kind of funny but it is not. Glad you found helpful really, please reach out to me whenever needed. 8444516555 ext. 005 I would be glad to help if able.
This video was so very helpful to me. Thank you very much!
You're very welcome! I am very glad it was helpful, please reach out if anything is ever needed. I am here for you!
Comprehensive and useful! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much !! You explained everything so plain and clear that I feel comfortable now on using mine. 😊 ... I will subscribe to you.
Glad it was helpful! That is awesome, I strive to make it simple. People need to be able to use and get the experience and benefit. Then if they want to get more technical and find out more, they can go from there. Let me know if anything else is needed. I will be happy to help!
❤@@Sleeplayground
I agree 💯 regarding your comment because when I received my cpap with paperwork instructions. The video's are very helpful
Glad it was helpful! If you need anything do not hesitate to reach to us. We will be happy to assist with anything needed.
Great video man!! Just got my air sense 11
Appreciate you!! Thanks for the encouragement, let me know if I can help with anything along the way. It's is a little struggle for most in beginning, primarily getting used to the mask. But if you push through with that mask or find the right one. You will be happy you did. My number 844-451-6555 ext.005 if you have any questions. Thanks Again remember Keep it simple.
Great presentation.
Appreciate that very much sir! This is James by the way, there is a lot more to come. Check out the best full face of 2023, if you wear one of course lol! Have a great day and thank you again.
Greata video. I am switching from a ResMed 10 to a ResMed 11.
Good choice! I appreciate the encouragement! I am actually doing a video on the Airsense 10 today. It will be pretty similar, but I hope to make easy for patient's to understand as I strive to stress in all my videos. Any questions ever, don't hesitate to reach out. I would be more then happy to help!
Thank you for this video! I am living in the Netherlands. Wish someone here had explain this to me earlier....
Glad it was helpful! I hear it all the time and seen a few times observing other people and how they set patient's up. It is sad to be honest, they give machine and have a nice day. Appreciate the comment, like I said in video or most. Any questions do not hesitate I would be glad to help.
This answered many of my questions. I like they was it was kept so simple I now have a better understanding of how this works..
I am happy to hear that this was informative but simplified for you. That is the idea behind the set ups. Get patients to understand how to use and then all the extra features and technical information if needed they can figure out. I am glad you enjoyed and understood. Let us know if anything ever needed, we are here to help!
Some very helpful information Everyone needs to know about cleaning the inner plug. Pop it out (from inside the water chamber) wash is weekly
Great tip!
Excellent. Thank You.
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if anything ever needed, will be happy to help!
Thanks my man.
No problem! Let me know if there is anything I can help with. I will be more than happy to.
Thank you for doing this video. I appreciate you explaining the detailed instructions. It really helped me a lot. Thanks again!!!
Your absolutely welcome! I am glad you enjoyed and will continue to try to provide information that is applicable to patient's. Have a Great Day!!
Great video man! My Dream Station bit the dust yesterday. Pick up my new AirSense 11 tomorrow. I'm in The Great State of Texas. Next time I clean I'll get on the ol' horse and swing the tube around like a lasso.
Appreciate the encouragement! Great machine please let me know is I can help you with anything. Just message me on the website sleeplay.com. LOL!!
Lol
I have used several different machines, but this one by far is the best.
It is a great machine! Keep it up
This is the CPAP machine I have. I really like it.
That is awesome to hear! Yes it is a great machine. Anything Resmed is my go to. Please let me know if anything is ever needed. I will be happy to help.
By the way, thanks for watching!
“Wake up in the morning with dry mouth?” Hell, my mouth is dry within 5 seconds.
Sorry To hear that, then the mask might be the wrong one. Or I would first increase the humidity level until it is right for you, to see if that works. Yeah that is no good, I know the feeling. But if your awake and the mouth is dry that is strange. Is your mouth dry throughout the day?
Really nice and informative video
Hi,
Thank you so much for the kind words.!! Very encouraging, I think the biggest thing I try to stress with theses CPAP set ups is simplicity. A lot of techs and Clincians over analyze a lot of information that confuses patient's honestly! I think less on the shoulders allows it to be easier to get used to the mask and get the sleep we need. Then we can look into the more detailed information if needed. Thanks again Have a Great Day!!
Good job, very helpful
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if anything more is needed. We would be happy to help!
Thank you so much for sharing. Now that it’s recommended not to clean the CPAP machine with So Clean, I am glad it’s not a total waste.
=)
I was not understanding?
Hey good on you for mentioning to just use the machine even without distilled. I live in a rural area and didn't have distilled for a few days but just went for it and started getting the benefits immediately, just took an extra few seconds of washing before switching to distilled.
Absolutely! I advised patients always. Distilled is recommended and preferred. But I have has patients who have went weeks without using machine because of the water. Not necessary, you can use other water and just clean as you stated sooner.
I feel like I've gained months of experience and I haven't even used it yet. Thanks man!
Any time! Too much information is given about unnecessary things. I have seen it all, you have to keep it simple especially in the beginning. That way you can get using and benefitting is the goal. Then you can look into other information.
Glad to help! Appreciate you watching.
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Please let us know if there is anything we can ever do for you. We would be more than happy to, thanks for watching.
So I am an elder and was given this machine and can't remember everything he's saying, might as well give the darn thing back!!
Simply, hook up the tubing to the back of machine on the other end connect you mask of choice. Take out chamber and fill below the max line put back in. Have the unit plugged in place mask on your face or nose.. Once you do simply press the power button above the machine and your good to go. Water chamber and tubing clean weekly warm soapy water check the filter., rinse and air dry. Every day wipe don mask and top off water chamber to max line.
Well explained 👍
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if anything is ever needed, I will be happy to help!
Thanks!
You bet!
fantastic, bright and knowledgeable. Keep it up1
Thank you so much!! That is very encouraging, let me know if anything ever needed.
Very helpful video!! I have been struggling to use my mask. These are some helpful tips.😊
I'm so glad it was helpful! Please let me know if ever I can assist with anything else, I would be more than happy to!
I'm in the process of figuring out which machine to go with as a first time patient.
This one seems really nice, I think I am sold with the touch display.
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out! Yeah that is a great feature for sure! I would recommend any Resmed unit would be great. Let me know if I can help at all, I would be happy to.
I got the ResMed air sense 11. Was very excited to be able to sleep again. It causes me to stop breathing at night more than using nothing at all. Yes my settings are correct. Wish I hadn’t spent so much time with doctors appointments only to end up worse off than when I began. Very disappointed and still always tired.
stay away from phillips please
Love my resmed,there's alot to learn ,I definitely can tell the difference just have to be patient, when I get to a .8 my OCD kicks in and I ask myself ok we need it back down to a .2 then I feel like a Rockstar
LOL!! That is awesome, keep it up!!
When bro said you you don’t want this to happen because you might suffocate and that will fix your sleep apnea for good I knew he was the sleep tech we all wish we had.
LOL! My man, appreciate the love.
Very cool video. My main issue with this case is there is nowhere to put the headgear & mask/cushion. I have to place that in a separate bag when traveling. Does anybody else feel the same or have a suggestion/solution for the mask-cushion?
I used to have the System One by Philips but I replaced that with the AirSense 11 after the recall. IMO, this is the best CPAP machine and the ResMed app is icing on the cake
Absolutely! I appreciate you watching and enjoying my video. So there are several places to put the mask either in the front compartment next to the power cord. In the netted compartment up top when opening the case. Or in the zipper compartment outside the carrying case. I am assuming you have a full face mask and understand your pain. I used to advise patient's that all the time. It is really hard to fit a full face mask especially a larger one in the case. They tried to make the case so small I don't know if they thought of that.
Thanks for telling me how to turn my Machine Off, once I did my Four Hours, on my ResMed AirSense 11, I really appreciate it!
Your welcome! I was just advising regarding what the insurance if you were going through them would require. You definitely do not want to stop at 4 hours. You want to use as long as possible through the night. Then you will get the experience and change needed. Keep it up!
Thanks!
This is the second night ive used this air 11, suppose to be the Cadillac of cpaps. The tech had it programmed. I guess i just have to put it on & off , & dont mess with the digital buttons. Its quiet, do wasnt sure its on & working. Its gonna take time to adjust to this. 😕..Thank you sir.
Absolutely! It is a process I promise, it does take a little time. Just try to be consistently trying even in the day if able napping, watching a movie dozing off etc. The more you do when able on your off hours, the easier it becomes to sleep through the night. Keep it up don't give up.
Hold two fingers on the two display portions and you will go to clinical settings where you can set your pressure and other option settings
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out! LOL! This video was not instructing folks of that, but yes that is how you get into the clinical menu. Thanks for sharing
Excellent
Thank you so much Let me know if anything needed, I would be happy to help!
Thank you for explaining the ResMed love how you show step by step how to use it can you show the mask and size
You are so welcome! Yes, I can do that perhaps on another video hank you for watching. Appreciate the encouragement, please reach out if anything needed 844-451-6555 ext. 005
Good presentation
Thank you so much!
I've been using this Auto-CPAP for over 2 years now and love it. Only negative for me is during winter months when I get sinus congestion, the pressure rises too high and this wakes me up. I have to turn off the machine and after a few seconds, turn it on again to restart the ramp up time (I have it set for 40 minutes) to avoid the feeling of my head wanting to explode from the air pressure.
That is great to hear that you enjoy the machine! It should not rise because of congestion that is strange?
Sounds like whoever set you machine numbers has it set too high.
@@Photosnapper75 Maybe but as I do know how to access the settings, I don't want to change it without talking to the doctor beforehand.
Great tutorial! Your narrative really helped to make the adjustments. Nice ink who's your artist? Hope they are in SoCal.
Awesome! So happy it helped. Appreciate the compliment, the artist is in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Thank you for the video. I just started using the AirSense 11 and this answered a lot of my questions. One thing not mentioned in the cleaning portion was the connection between the humidifier chamber and the outlet hose. I saw a video about the AirSense 10 that said that little connector can be the most likely to be contaminated with mold/mildew and showed an easy way to remove that elbow, using a long prong or pen tip (ball point not exposed). I have examined my unit and there is a similar piece in the AirSense 11 that appears to be intended to be removed for cleaning. Is this so, and how often does this need to be done?
Thanks.
Absolutely! Your more then welcome I am glad it helped. That is the Air outlet adapter and yes you can remove from the Airense 11. I would say try to clean weekly along with the water chamber and tubing.
Thanks. Good Review! I just like to hear how noisy this cpap machines are.
Thanks for watching! I will try to mention on upcoming videos for sure.
I have been recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea.. Waiting for my ResMed AirSense 11 to arrive.. Trying to learn all I can about the machine.
Well, if there is anything further I can do for you. You are more than welcome to get a hold of me 8444516555. Hopefully the video simplified the process and gave you the basis.
If you have a dog like I do that crazy sheds I change the filters more often.
Absolutely! I would definitely agree.
I have an 11 and what I like about the system is the auto on auto off when the mask is placed or removed from the face. What I miss about the 10 is the 90 degree angle on the back.
Hey Tom,
Thanks for sharing! Yeah, that was a cool feature I hear a lot of that to about the tubing. Yes, the 10 and 11 both have the Auto Start/Stop feature which is awesome. The 11 actually what is cool is that you can choose so just because it turns on by itself. It does not have to turn off by itself and vice a versa. Comes in handy with a lot of people with Full Face mask. They have the convenience of the machine starting by itself. But they do not have to worry about it shutting off repeatedly. It is beneficial especially when your on an Auto machine which seems to be the most popular nowadays. It would start low when it started increasing to the pressure needed it would shut off if it leaked to o much. So the patient would never get there optimal therapy. Have a great day! Let us know if anything is needed we are here to help!
I’m kinda struggling with my AirSense 11. I’m in-between sizes for the nasal mask, the Med blew air into my eyes all night plus the silicone left raised, red rings around my nose/cheeks that took 2 days to go away. I changed to the Sm nose mask, and it’s a better fit but I feel like my nostrils are pressed upon, closing them a bit and worry I’m not getting my full benefits plus I spend a lot of time flaring my nostrils open which takes me longer to fall asleep. 🫤 My clinician is checking into maybe just a possible nasal plug type mask, kinda like what they put in your nose for oxygen at the hospital. Can you tell me what the First thing I should do upon waking? Do I just take off my mask and it will automatically stop treatment or do I need to press that top on/off button first THEN remove my mask? Thanks for your help!!! 😊
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out! So yes I believe having the nasal cushion a little bigger is personally more comfortable, rather than the cushion up against my nostrils. The air blowing into eyes just means it needs some adjustment is all, but you have to find what works for you. That is the most aggravating but important aspect to therapy is the mask. If your experience any soreness redness like that it is being put on way to tight. You need to loosen so it can move with you and your comfortable obviously most importantly. Yes, the pillows or plugs that go into the nose are great for less leakage. But are just a little harder to get used to. If your clinician set the machine to Auto Start and Stop then it will turn on when you put the mask on and off when you rake off. Let me know if that helped and if anything else needed.
Thx for great instructions! Been using Cpap for 15 yrs. Got new sleep study & just got Airsense II. My apnea improved...my prior setting 16.0 and now is 4.0. Feels like I am not getting enough air. Will it ramp up? How do I know I am getting enough air? Thx. Note: my current cpap is broke so I dunno if it ramped up to 16 (it is always on 16). Can I remove my mask if I need to use the bathroom?
So glad you like it, thank you for the encouragement! So your pressure was 16.0 and now 4.0? Are you saying that is what they recommended for you for your airway. Or does the machine start at 4cm? You can know if you are getting enough air based on how you feel. But you can also see the events on the machine. I can show you how if you would like to call. I mean if it is working for you with or without the ramp just leave it I would say. As far as the bathroom you can take off the mask I usually recommend to keep on if able to make easier.
Thank you for your quick response. It is apparent that Res Med does not currently make an oxygen adapter for their heated hose. I also have not found an 8 foot heated hose by Res Med. I assume that since the ResMed 11 is new there has not been a market developed for these products.
There is not a Climate Line tubing with the Oxy adapter unfortunately! They do not make an 8 foot heated tubing either.
Thanks for the video. Great information. Question: I just received my machine, but does the tubing need to be cleaned before the first use??
I would clean it out if you like. I do not think it needs to be. May have that plastic smell though.
My S9 is almost done now and I am likely getting this machine. Anyone’s feelings
Great machine small, light weight, Over - the Air updates and software upgrades. Nice features great manufacturer of course.
Thanks for responding. What about noise output has machine gotten quieter?
Love the setup review! I am a new used of the AirSense 11. My sleep view doesn't show me the "Events", only the Usage time and the Mask Fit. How do I get the Events on my Sleep View?
I can walk you through. If you would like to call me at 844-451-6555 James I will walk you through.
Same
Tap water works just fine. A vinegar/water solution makes easy cleaning. Get a countertop water filter dispenser if you want to reduce the minerals.
Absolutely! I agree as well that is a great option, if you choose. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you. Nice shirt, where did you get it.
LOL.1 Thanks for reaching out!! UMM! I think Macy's lol
Great video. Lately I have had an issue with getting up in the middle of the night. Turning it off manually, going to the bathroom. Or just waking up in the night and trying to get back to sleep. It is almost as if there is too much pressure. I am fighting the amount of pressure and I end up taking it off for awhile. I have had CPAPs for many years and I am wondering if it is me, or something with the machine,
Thank you
Hi,
Thanks so much for reaching out and the comment! Much appreciated. So, you know the machine is an Autoset unit and therefore it adjust to meet your needs automatically. Maybe possibly your in need of a higher pressure now, then you did before. You can go into the mode to change your EPR expiratory pressure relief, to help with the breathing against the higher pressure you feel. Also the Auto Start and Stop you can set, if you want if you want help with having to turn off manually at night. Not sure the type of machine you had before what it was set on and so forth. You may have been on a set pressure rather than a Auto pressure and that is why it felt comfortable. You can give me a call at 8444516555 or email james.curles@sleeplay.com and I can walk you through.
Apparently the SmartStop and Pressure Relief have been disabled by my provider. Is there a way to enable these functions? I can call you if need be.
Thank you for your quick reply to my question
I figured out how to get into the advanced settings. Thank you for your help
My husband says it’s blowing out too much air & keeping him awake! Is there a way to reduce that?
That tank doesn't look like it holds much water. I am using a ResMed S7 and the tank is much bigger. My ResMed 11 is on it's way. I'm concerned about the water running out in the middle of the night and getting nosebleeds. I'm using a heated tube. Pressure normally 10, humidity level 4.5 or 45%. Please advise.
Yes, rest assures according to Resmed though it looks smaller. They hold the exact same amount of water.
I'm following the instractions to connect my phone and the machine via blutooth but it keeps saying "Can't connect your machine. Let's skip the Bluetooth connection step." I've gone through the process 3 times. This is the worst part of the wholw thing. It has forced me to enter the serial number and model numer 3 times.
Hi Jeff,
I do apologize yeah that is strange. If you press on the screen the MyAir connection it should link to your smart phone if the Bluetooth is on. Other than the machine being connected directly. You can yes go on the Myair app and enter the SN and DN number manually and it will link the machine for the app and the website to view compliance and other information.
Does this need to be prescribed? My parents have one they don't use and I thought about giving it a try to see if it helps me with my snoring and trouble sleeping?
Yes, it should be prescribed. I do not know the pressures on you parents machine would work for you. If it is an Auto setting it may be fine. I would talk to you doctor regarding the pressures and therapy.
Smart stop doesn’t work for either mine or my husband’s machines. We use the ResMed AirFit 10 nasal pillow. Any ideas?
Absolutely! Thanks for reaching out. What size pillows may I ask do you have?
ResMed Dishwasher Safe Water Chamber for AirSense 11 & AirCurve 11 HumidAir Humidifiers, just saw this does it really work? When I first started using cpap washed hose & tank every day but that gets old very fast. Now been over 10 years so wipe mask every other night and maybe twice month use ozone cleaner for house & tank. Getting 11 upgrade to my 10 since insurance replaces it every 5 year's
Yeah, when they came out with the dishwasher safe chamber I was not aware at first. Dishwasher safe water chambers can be washed in a dishwasher, while non-dishwasher safe water chambers need to be washed by hand. Some manufacturers, like cleancpap.net, advise against putting CPAP water containers in the dishwasher because it could damage them. However, some ResMed CPAP water chambers are dishwasher safe, including the AirSense 10, AirStart 10, AirCurve 10, and H5i. If you do decide to use the dishwasher, you should:
As a first time user of the Airsense 11 I really appreciate your video. One question is you mention if you take it off to use the bathroom it stops. Does it start back up automatically Or do you hit start again upon putting it back on? Thank you again for your video.
Hi Goodmorning!
I am glad the video helped out. The answer to your question is, Yes. It does have the ability to turn off by itself, if the feature is not on from the manufacturer. Please give me a call and I can help you out! Appreciate you watching thanks for following.
@@Sleeplayground Thank you for your reply. I turned on the Auto feature on the unit and it did as you said. Have a great day !
Thank you for this video… I just got my machine and I’m trying to figure it out! Can you clean any parts or tubing with bleach? The water reservoir looks small… do you have to refill a couple times a night? Thank u
Hi appreciate the comment! So I would not clean with bleach because of the smell and chemical. Just soapy water should suffice maybe vinegar and water if you choose. The water chamber surprisingly looks smaller but holds the same amount of water as others. It should be on Auto and should suffice you have to see as needed. I advise patient';s to top off the chambe daily.
@@Sleeplayground thank you very much for replying back to me! It is surprising that the it’s definitely enough water… I have used this machine for a week and my only issue is the discomfort with the mask. I have used the nasal pillows and I felt like I was struggling to breath slowly and I had to open my mouth a lot … the next mask was over my nose and my left side of my face broke out a bit… but my sleep numbers have been good but a lot of discomfort
just a word of
caution if you use the separate sanitizer manufacturers dont honor the warranty if you use one. apparently they caused issues in the cpap machine so when you go back to say its not working they ask if you used one if so they do nothing which is crazy since sleep clinic i purchased cpap from suggested getting one.
Thank you for sharing!
Does "events" reflect the average based on the amount of time you have the mask on or the amount of time you're actually asleep? There's a big difference!
Hi,
Yes the amount of events is reflected on the actual time the machine was used while sleeping. If not sleeping there would be no events shown.
what if the machine is set up near the heat vent in the room on a side table. My husbands pillows nasal mask is set at 4 humidity and tube temp is 72. He gets nasal congestion and then has hard time breathing after it's off.
I apologize I am unsure of the question. So the machine I do not think it best to be set next to a heat vent. He wears the nasal pillow mask, if you have the heated tubing, you can set the machine on Auto it will adjust for you to the relative humidity in the room. I would leave the tube temp alone and just up the humidity level.
Not happy with power plug because 10 had a DC plug a cigarette cable to fit my power bank when outage. It was more control power flow so it lasted longer.
The Airsense 11 also had a power cord and DC cord available. I have provided the link below.
sleeplay.com/products/resmed-airsense-11-airmini-dc-power-cord
So, question. Compared to my old DreamStation, my Airsense 11 feels a lot lower pressure, even though it is set the same. The DS felt like it was shoving sir in me, whereas the AirSense seems much more gentle. Is that typical? My recorded AHI hangs typically under 2.0, so I figure I'm OK since my untreated AHI was over 80 lol
Hey Brian,
Yes, so if your AHI is under 2.0 you are doing great! Most of the Airsense 11 machines I have worked with have the EPR on, making it a little easier to breathe out against the flow of air coming in. That may be the difference you are feeling. But if the therapy is effective all should be well.
@@Sleeplayground it's less the exhale being easy and more the inhale - with the DreamStation, it felt like air was being harshly pushed in. With the Airsense, I can barely feel it (to the point sometimes I have to lift my mask just to be sure). Granted, I went from a nasal pillow to a full face mask, so I'm guessing that may play a role?
Do you need to set on something to protect furniture from heat?
No you do not. But we do sell CPAP mats if that would make you feel better.

what keeps the screen bright, mine dims to the point i can not read properly?
Hi Giovanni,
If you notice and this is strange cause I was wondering for years the same. There is a little sensor next to the power button on top little clear sensor. If you have the screen lit and you put your finger over the button for a moment it goes dark. Opposite if the screen is dark you should be able to tap the little sensor and the screen should light back up. Let me know if that worked for you.
If not using the reservoir? Is there a dust cover? I like to make it portable, more like the mini.. Also, the plastic reservoir seems more breakable when transporting.
If not plugged in, is there a dust cover there?
Hey Dan,
Yes there is I attached the link below to view. Let me know if can help with anything, appreciate you!

My previous unit was the ResMed 9 and never attached the humidifier portion (don't need it). The unit itself was quiet but the ResMed 11 actually makes noise, not sure why . . . it's supposed to be quieter than the 9. I used it last night for the first time (no water in the humidifier).
HHHMMM? Yeah that is strange all the machines are quiet this is supposed to be quieter. Not to sound silly, but make sure all the accessories are connected properly.
@@Sleeplayground It sounds like air is blowing, but not from the mask (perfect seal).
Any issues with the filter door cover breaking? I heard one reviewer say he broke 2 of them changing his filter. It has happened to me twice with the Air Sense 10.
Hi Judy,
Yes, I know I have had that happen several times to myself when setting patient's up. You can put the door back on? But it happens and I do not know why they did this. When you open door it does not lay down on the table it stops so if up press it down to far it breaks off the machine or pulls out. Maybe I will do a video of that actually! Look for it soon
Mine broke and wouldn’t stay closed they gave me a new machine
"that's gonna fix your sleep apnea for good" lol.. that was funny
Sorry! I did not know if that was a little to harsh, lol! I sometimes say that to my patient's depending on which ones, of course. Thanks for watching! Let me know if anything is needed.
@@Sleeplayground Excellent video! What I don't understand is why do I need my Doctor to 'Titrate the 'machine if it is "auto set'. I have the air sense 11, just started using it 3 days ago and it seems to be working.
I did not get a carrying case bought mine from sleeplay the week the AirSense was released
Good morning, The machines come in the case. It includes the machine, chamber, tubing, power cord and manuals. You received a machine in a brown box with nothing? Is that what you are stating?
Is it can be used without water in humidifier chamber and without adjusting in humidifier 9:49 settings?
Yes
How do you set the machine to come when you put your mask on and start breathing without pressing the on button
Press the My options box and My Sleep view box at the same time and hold. It will then say My Settings press and scroll down and you can set it to AutoStart
How often do you change a filter ?
I advise patients the regimen to cleaning is once a week. So I usually say check filter just to get in the routine weekly. When dirty or discolored you can toss and replace.
