RESMED "AIRSTART" 10

[james90210]

I have brought the basic version of Airstart 10 and generally I am quite happy with it.  It has RAMP, EPR and comes standard with Humidifier. Compared with the S9 the missing feature is Auto Start which is not a big deal.
The only problem I have is that it doesn't seem to give me the AHI. The manual shows that there is AHI information but I am not sure it is for higher models only.
I have read that the SD card data can be loaded to AirView for viewing, but from the Resmed website you need to be a DME to register for a login.
I try loading the SD card data to Sleepheads and it only show basic compliance data, hours used, pressure but no AHI or leak information.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that sucks. It seems like the Airstart only records the basic compliance info and none of the useful stuff so that you can determine if the therapy is effective

I think as you live in Aus you should call RESMED direct and see if the data is captured. I don't think that machine has the ability to send the data to their new myair.resmed.com site but am not sure. If it does then you still may be able to determine the AHI on a daily basis.

I recently received a ResMed AirStart 10 APAP.

Last night I test it, it was OK only need to adjust the EPR to Level 3 otherwise difficulty to breathe out.

Actually it is Compliance data saved in SD card. The data save is Days Used, Days 4 Hrs+, Avg Usage, Used Hrs, Pressure and AHI in Period as 1 Day, 1 Week, 1-3-6 Months and 1 Years. It can display on screen in Clinical Menu.

Does anyone have a copy of the AirStart 10 Clinician Manual?

If so, please email it to me at apneaboard@gmail.com

If you can't scan it, or don't have a PDF version, perhaps you can copy it and mail it to me, at:

Thanks if you can help!

For Airstart 10 the same thing as AirSense 10 the only different is it doesn’t have the dial knob but instead you push the button in
Between the arrows up/down, then when you access the clinician menu instead of dialing the knob for airsense 10
You have to push the arrow up or down on the airstart to select on the menu.
