[Equipment] AirSense 11 filters: ResMed v Generic

[BobinHI]

I have had trouble finding genuine ResMed OEM filters for the AirSense 11. I ordered what were represented as ResMed filters from two separate on-line vendors, only to see that they were really generic filters when I had them in hand. Both vendors refunded my money and I hope have now corrected their web sites. I had two problems with this: one, I wanted original ResMed filters because of questions about quality, and two I paid a significant premium for original ResMed filters (generics are much less expensive). So, I was glad the vendors understood the issue and refunded the money.

My problem now is just finding a source for original ResMed filters! ResMed itself will sell me filters for the AirMini, but does not carry AirSense 11 supplies. Third party vendors seem to only carry generic replacement filters. Any idea what is going on here? It seems like an odd thing for there to be a shortage of ResMed OEM filters . . . .

Just a note to say that the filters can be reused easily enough. Just some warm water and a drop of liquid dish soap. Give um a gentle finger massage and then rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. 

I have a ton of them (OEM) on hand for my ResMed 10 AutoSet, but I still tend to reuse them with very good results. 

Try vendor #42 for replacement filters.
