Hi folks. Just checking in with the group to see if the Resmed Airsense 10 has APAP capabilities. I've seen it online as a programmable option, but the manual states nothing.
My sleep doctor wants me to get an apap machine and I think it's built into the unit I have.
There are four different models in the ResMed AirSense 10 model line:
CPAP - This is the very basic fixed single pressure CPAP with no SD card data recording capability
CPAP Elite - This also is a single pressure fixed CPAP but does have a SD card data recording capability
AutoSet - This is the fully automatic pressure setting machine with a SD card capability
AutoSet For Her - This model includes the standard autoset mode, plus a special For Her mode that acts faster to flow resistance
It should say on the nameplate or the bottom right front of the machine which model it is. The AutoSet and AutoSet For Her are both very good machines, and in my opinion better than the newer AutoSet 11 machines.

Well while the Elite does not have the AutoSet mode, it does collect data on a SD card. Combined with OSCAR that can help you manually adjust the pressure. OSCAR is freeware and needs a SD card in the machine, a SD card reader, and a PC or Mac to run the software. You can download it here. Just check that there is a SD card in the machine, as without that no data gets recorded.
While it can take a little longer when you find the right pressure it can be just as effective. I have an A10 AutoSet machine, but I now run it in the fixed pressure CPAP mode. Works well for me.

Yes. It's done this a couple of times. I'm a developer. I'm not very happy with SD cards. The cell service was never turned on with this unit and my provider cannot turn it on now. I'd have to buy a new one.

I have found that OSCAR wants to import the data directly from a SD card. I have had people send me zipped data from their card and the only way I could import it to OSCAR was to copy it to a spare SD card and let OSCAR read it from there.
