Optimal comfort
AutoRamp
The ResMed Air11 Ramp feature helps maximize comfort by gradually increasing
air pressure levels as you fall asleep. Choose from AutoRamp* or manual
settings to start therapy at a lower pressure and gently ramp up to your
prescribed pressure. In AutoRamp, once the device detects that your patient is
asleep, it comfortably increases the pressure to ensure the prescribed level
is delivered the moment they need it.

FAQ
Device-related FAQs
-
I want the top-of-the-line ResMed device. Which one is it?
-
All of ResMed’s products are designed to offer high-quality therapy. Different devices and features are available based on individual patient needs and prescriptions. Please visit ResMed.com to see all available products.
-
Am I able to power my device in other countries?
-
Yes, patients can travel with ResMed devices to other countries. The universal power supplies in our devices allow use all over the world. The patient will only need to purchase a plug adapter for the country they are visiting. Visit ResMed.com/Travel for more information.
-
Can the therapy system be used in flight on a commercial airline?
-
Some airlines allow and actively assist patients in using therapy devices in flight, while others do not.
Advise the patient to check with the airline before they book their flight. Advise the patient to visit ResMed.com/Travel for more detailed instructions.
Note: Do not use the humidifier on the flight; aircraft turbulence increases the risk of water spillage and damage to the device.
Reminder: Device should be switched to airplane mode while in the air. -
Can the therapy system be used when camping?
-
Yes. A ResMed device can operate from a battery supply (in a truck or recreational vehicle) with the use of a suitable converter unit. ResMed offers a DC converter as an accessory, in addition to an RPS II external battery* source. Visit ResMed.com/Travel for more tips on traveling with their therapy device and to view our battery guide.
-
How long will my device run on the RPS II* external battery source?
-
Run time is > 8 hours at the average device setting which is based on using 15 cm H20 (IPAP, 5 cm H2O (EPAP), and 15 BPM (respiratory rate). This does not apply to devices when using heated humidification and heated tubing. For more information on battery run time, see the Battery/Device Compatibility List on ResMed.com.
My device makes a whistling noise. How do I stop it?
First, instruct the patient to check to see if there is a crack in the humidifier tub. If so, provide a new one. Next, ensure that the intentional leak holes are free of water drops, the tubing is dry and the inside of the mask is free from water. Lastly, find out if the patient’s tubing is from ResMed. If it isn’t you may want to consider changing to a ResMed tube as tubes from other companies may make noise.
Why is my humidifier utilizing different quantities of water every night?
Have the patient check to make sure the tub lid seal is sitting properly in the upper lid of the HumidAir™ tub. Also, water evaporates more quickly if there is a leak, the room is dry or plate settings are high.
It is difficult to pull out the humidifier tub to fill it with water. Am I opening it incorrectly?
Make sure the patient is holding onto the main part of the device with one hand while pushing down on the tab on the top of the chamber and pulling it horizontally with the other hand.
What altitude can the device be used at?
ResMed devices will automatically compensate for altitudes below 8,500 feet. For higher altitudes, manual adjustment may be required. Please refer to the user guide for specific instructions for each device.
Can ResMed devices run from the 400Hz power supply on the aircraft?
Yes. Even though the rating plate on the device specifies 50–60Hz, the switch mode power supply in the device is compatible with the 110V, 400Hz power supply on the aircraft. Remind the patient to book a seat close to a power outlet on the aircraft. The number and availability of these seats varies from one aircraft to another. Patients should also consider purchasing an RPS II external battery* to ensure continuous therapy while traveling.
Will the X-ray scanners at the airport security affect my ResMed device?
No, X-ray scanners will not harm ResMed devices. The patient will need to remove their device from its carrying case before placing it through the scanner.
What are the alternative power options?
Option 1: • The patient can purchase the Air10 or Air11 DC/DC converter which allows them to use their device with a 12V or 24V DC power source in a car, boat or other vehicle with a suitable battery. Option 2: • Buy the ResMed Power Station (RPS) II. This is an external battery source that does not require a converter. Only compatible with Air10 devices. If a ResMed Air10™ series therapy system is run from a battery, the battery is intended to be used for a single night before recharging.
