After your doctor has written you a prescription, we recommend first contacting your insurance provider to learn more about what’s covered under your plan, then locating a CPAP equipment store near you.

Your AirCurve 10 ST-A machine has been set up for your needs by your medical equipment supplier – the store where you picked up your equipment. But you may want to make small adjustments based on your comfort needs. Here are some tips on how to adjust the comfort settings.

Humidity Level

The humidifier moistens the air and is designed to make your therapy more comfortable. If you’re getting a dry nose or mouth, turn up the humidity. If you’re getting any moisture in your mask, turn down the humidity.

You can manually set the Humidity Level to Off or between 1 and 8, where 1 is the lowest humidity setting and 8 is the highest humidity setting.

Resmed has observed that prolonged and repeated use of an ozone device may eventually cause internal damage to a Resmed machine, leading to an increase in motor noise. The Resmed limited warranty excludes damage to Resmed machines caused by use of ozone devices.

It’s important to take regular care of your therapy supplies – especially your machine supplies, which can be affected by dirt and general wear. You should regularly check the water tub, air tubing and the air filter for any damage.
