Is there a parts diagram breakdown on the ResMed AirSense 10 available from some place?
I also looking for the part number for the short 90 degree tube and seal that goes between the water chamber and the hose.
It seems odd that is recommended to regularly replace the everything from the water chamber to your face but not replace this tube between the water chamber and the hose.
I think it's part # 37310. In the Resmed parts list that I posted a link to in the other thread, it's called "Air 10 Air Outlet". A web search shows it available all over the place for $10 and up. Amazon stupidly shows it as "Available with an Amazon Business Account and a healthcare license", or in other words supposedly Rx-only and sold only to "providers" rather than patients. But Supplier #1, among others, has it.

Resmed is on the case. In the Air10 clinical guide, that is taken care of under the heading "Reprocessing the water tub and air outlet" (so see that for replacement instructions when you've got the new part). "Reprocessing", of course, means between one patient and the next. So the implication is that it's not necessary when the device is used by only one patient. You share your germs with yourself.
After 3 years of daily use the air outlet tube on my Resmed Airsense 10 developed a small tear in the silicone seal on the inside of the machine (where the outlet tube presses against the humidifier tank). The resulting air leak was significant, but it was easily repaired with Resmed Part 37310. A simple and cost-effective do-it-yourself fix.
I just went through the process of replacing the air outlet (37310) on my Airsense 10. Was real worried about breaking things so I called the vendor I got it from and they walked me through it and it was quite simple:
1. Pull out the humidifier and you'll see the outlet valve to the right with a plastic tab held in place by a black metal clip.
2. On the outside/back rotate the orange ring used to connect the heated hose so that the electrical connections point to the right (looking from the back). This frees up some space for pulling out the air outlet.
3. Get a flat blade screwdriver and press down on the plastic tab, then pull out outlet from the back (you can hook your finger in from the back).
4. Be careful not to damage the silicon seal since it's a bit of a tight fit while pulling out the old and pushing in the new one.
Look around and you can get this part for as little as $7 from a major vendor with fast shipping.
Hello
Is the seal on left in picture available to replace? I’ve replaced the on pictured on the right side and still have a noisy cpap. It’s very annoying. I’ve replaced everything except the water chamber it’s self and the seal pictured on left side of picture.
Kind regards
