AirCurve 10 ST VPAP/BIPAP Machine by ResMed
The ResMed AirCurve 10 ST is a brand-new and top-of-the-line spontaneously timed VPAP machine. The device features the most sophisticated respiratory algorithms ever developed, which helps to ensure that your therapy is compliant with your exact needs. The ResMed VPAP ST is capable of monitoring your breathing rate and adjusting pressure depending on your inhalation and exhalation needs. You can track all of your information on the new AirView data management system, which allows you to remotely share all of your therapy data with your physician or VPAP provider. It also features TiControl to improve user-machine synchrony. Add in comfort features like EPR, a new humidification system, and an overhauled ramp design, and the AirCurve 10 VPAP ST is the premier ST machine available today.
VPAP ST
The AirCurve 10 VPAP ST machine features the latest and most sophisticated respiratory algorithms in any spontaneous/timed machine. The device provides inspiratory positive airway pressure and also has a backup rate to make sure that you get enough breaths per minute, even when you do not breathe spontaneously.
TiControl
The VPAP ST features TiControl, which helps to manage your inspiratory time by setting maximum and minimum time limits for inspiration. TiControl is particularly useful in helping to manage mask leaks and for customizing your respiratory cycles by controlling the time it takes for you to exhale.
Pressure Range
The AirCurve 10 ST comes with a pressure range of 3-25 cm H20, which is a wider pressure range than in a standard CPAP device. The VPAP ST is intended for users with central sleep apnea, who generally need more air pressure than users with obstructive sleep apnea.
AirView Data Management Service
ResMed's AirView data storage and management system is the world's most innovative and effective data interface. With AirView, your sleep therapy data will be uploaded instantly onto a shared storage system, which will allow your physician immediate access to your information remotely. AirView installation and setup come free with any purchase of an AirCurve device from RespShop. Get in touch with our customer service team for help setting up AirView, or read more about the Airview Data Service here.
SmartStart and SmartStop
The AirCurve 10 ST allows you to start and stop your therapy with just a single breath. After you've programmed your preferred settings into your machine, you can commence therapy simply by turning the machine on and breathing into your connected mask. Using SmartStop is just as easy: to conclude therapy, just remove the mask and your machine will automatically shut down after a few seconds.
HumidAir Humidifier
ResMed overhauled its humidifier in the AirCurve series. The new HumidAir heated humidifier is a part of every AirCurve VPAP and the design is smaller than the humidifiers in previous ResMed models. This makes your entire machine smaller and more portable. For users who don't normally use heated humidification, you still have the option of removing the humidifier from the device entirely, or not filling the water chamber. For those who do prefer to use heated humidification, simply fill the 380 ml water chamber and enjoy the benefits of a rainout and nasal congestion-free therapy.
Ramp
ResMed incorporated a brand new ramp in all AirCurve machines, including the 10 ST here. For the first time, you can set your ramp to delay the onset of air pressure by as many as forty-five minutes, which will let you fall asleep naturally and without a sudden infusion of air pressure. All you have to do is determine how long you want to delay the onset of pressure and then simply start the machine: after a time, the machine's ramp will kick in and incrementally increase pressure until you reach your desired settings.
Bright Screen, Intuitive Controls
ResMed designed the AirCurve 10 ST with the user in mind. That's why the device comes with big buttons, a brightly lit LCD screen, and an intuitive scrolling system that allows you to adjust your settings quickly and easily. The machine is also able to adjust screen brightness depending on ambient light, allowing you to see your screen perfectly at any time of day or night.
(Optional) Heating Tube
Every AirCurve 10 ST machine is compatible with ResMed's latest heated breathing tube, the ClimateLineAir. Like a normal tube, the ClimateLineAir connects your AirCurve to any CPAP mask on the market. The tube carries warm air from the humidifier up to your airways, which helps fight unwanted sleep apnea therapy symptoms like nasal congestion and rainout.
Mask Fitting
The AirCurve 10 ST offers users a unique mask fitting feature, which is able to detect the quality of your seal. When you put on your mask, your machine will display a face: if the face is smiling, that indicates that the mask is sealed properly. If the face is frowning, you'll know that you need to adjust your mask for proper therapy.
Reviewers Tip:
Contact your physician or CPAP service provider if you need any help setting up your AirView data management system.
FAQ
What is the difference between a VPAP and a VPAP ST?
A VPAP ST or BIPAP ST is a spontaneous timed BIPAP machine which allows a backup breathing rate to be set. Users can breathe spontaneously while using a VPAP ST and in the event that they fail to trigger a breath, the machine will deliver a breath based on the set back up breathing rate.
A VPAP or BIPAP machine, on the other hand, does not have the option to set a backup breathing rate. The machine will only deliver a breath when the user triggers it. If your BIPAP prescription has a backup breathing rate, you must use a machine with a ST (spontaneous timed) and/or T (timed) mode.
What tubing is compatible with the AirCurve 10 VPAP ST?
The AirCurve 10 CPAP ST is compatible with both heated and non-heated tubing. The machine supports all non-heated tubing equipped with standard 22mm cuffs. However, for heated tubing, it is important to note that the AirCurve 10 VPAP ST is only compatible with the ResMed ClimateLineAir Heated Tubing for AirSense/AirCurve 10.
Is the AirCurve 10 VPAP ST FAA-approved?
Yes, the AirCurve 10 VPAP ST is FAA-approved.
What is the available pressure range for the AirCurve 10 VPAP ST?
On BiPAP/VPAP Spontaneous (S), Timed (T) and Spontaneous Timed (ST) modes, the pressure range is 3-25 cm H2O. On CPAP mode, the pressure range is 4-20 cm H2O.
