[CPAP] Airsense 11 filters

[mmrams13]

Hi!
I purchased a new Resmed Airsense 11 about a month ago to replace my recalled Phillips machine and now need to change the air filter but can't find them anywhere. I called Resmed and they told me that they were aware that they are hard to find but only suggested that I call all of their authorized retailers. So far, no luck.
Anyone have any success finding them?
Thanks!

No luck here, either.  DME provided the AS11 on 9/23, finally got the heated tube on 10/8.  But they say the filters are still "backordered from manufacturer."

I've contacted a few online distributors, but all of them said they have "nothing" for AS11 machines yet, and don't have (or wouldn't provide) any ECD.

I tried cutting down some old filters from another machine, but that leaves a bunch of loose fibers and I didn't want those going through the machine or into my lungs.  The edges need to be "heat sealed", but I was unsuccessful in trying to do that.

If you find a source, please share here -- I'm sure a lot of others are looking for them too!

Can you cut an S9/S10 filter to size?

[mmrams13]

I think I will try this- I got some aftermarket felt type filters for AS10 that could possibly be cut down to size. I don't think they have heat sealed edges. I will definitely share information if I do happen to locate any.

Thanks!

I think I have found filters for the AirSense 11 at CPAPSUPPLIES. I ordered what they have listed as the correct filter so we'll see what I get when they arrive. Fingers crossed!!
BTW, Resmed sent me the part numbers for the filters: pack of 1 is 39300, pack of 2 39301 and pack of 12 is 39302.

If in a pinch and you can't source any replacement filters, just wash the one(s) you have. I've addressed this numerous times in various threads.

Great find!  Those look to be 3rd party brand, but are probably just as good.  I ordered some as well (Supplier #38).

Thanks @mmrams13 for sharing the info!

I just got a ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet as a replacement for my Philips Respironics DreamStation (NOT from Philips...my Dr. worked out something with a local CPAP vendor).  I have severe asthma and allergies, and liked that the DreamStation had a washable primary filter, that I could add a finer filter on top of, to filter out smaller particles.

Was...disappointed...that the AirSense 11 had a pretty simple non-washable filter, but just found out that there are standard & hypoallergenic versions--anyone know part# or where to get of the hypoallergenic version?

Thanks!

The Resmed part numbers I've found for the AS 11 are:
 P/N   Description
39102 ClimateLineAir 11 Heated Tube
39100 Humidity Chamber
39300 Standard Filter (qty 1)
39301 Standard Filter (qty 2)
39302 Standard Filter (qty 12)
39304 Hypoallergenic Filter (qty 1)
39305 Hypoallergenic Filter (qty 2)
39306 Hypoallergenic Filter (qty 12)
39228 SD Card
39205 PSU 120v/65w

I haven't found the Resmed brand filters available anywhere yet, and my DME says they are "back-ordered from the manufacturer."  

But as mentioned in above posts, some 3rd party filters -- in both the Standard and Hypoallergenic -- are being sold by at least one supplier.   I ordered a couple of each to try them out, but they aren't here yet.  Part numbers were similar to the Resmed part numbers, i.e., "CF-39300-1" for the standard, and " CF-39304-1" for the Hypoallergenic.

Thanks...I found the single packs by that number at one vendor, so ordered a few of them to tide me over for a while.
