AutoASV is an Auto BiPap raising EPAP on Obstructive events in addition to the ASV function.
RE: ResMed VS Phillips
Yes I found this ResMed sales pitch:
The AirCurve 10 ASV offers truly personalized therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central and/or mixed apneas, or periodic breathing. By treating central breathing disorders with auto-adjusting pressure support – and upper airway obstruction with auto-adjusting EPAP – the device works to rapidly stabilize respiration.1
As the only one of its kind to target the patient’s own recent minute ventilation, ResMed’s ASV is the most clinically studied adaptive servo-ventilation therapy.
Features:
• ASVAuto Mode - It will also automatically stabilize the upper airway with an increase in EPAP on the next breath following an event to treat and help prevent obstructions. Helps to stabilize ventilation to keep patients at their target minute goal.
• Easy-Breathe Technology - pressure waveform mimics the wave shape of normal breathing and replicates it to deliver natural breathing comfort.
• ASV Mode - The clinically published ASV algorithm constantly learns the patient’s unique respiratory rate and delivers pressure matched to patients’ breathing, adapting dynamically to their changing needs.
• Vsync Continuous Leak Management - helps provide synchrony during leak
• Climate Control - comprises the HumidAir™ humidifier and the ClimateLineAir™ heated air tube, and is designed to deliver constant, comfortable temperature and humidity levels. It also aims to minimize the common side effects of therapy to increase compliance
• AirView - ResMed’s cloud-based patient management system, you can access nightly therapy data, troubleshoot remotely (using the Remote Assist feature) and change device settings remotely
Reads great, like does Phillips..so I have crossed fingers I get one to fully test and use to see if it lives up to all the belief and hype.
RE: ResMed VS Phillips
My sister has severe central apnea (AHI 72) and the sleep lab tried a Resmed ASV machine and the results were not good. Her doctor prescribed the Dreamstation ASV because of the programmable backup rate. Her AHI is now normally below 1.

RE: ResMed VS Phillips
Rich,
If one of your questions about the ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV was pertaining to ASV versus ASV Auto Modes, the only difference I noted over the 2 years of usage was ASV Auto Mode changes EPAP from a static, single setting to EPAP Min/Max, a range.
I might have tried ASV Mode at most 1 night. I found ASV Auto Mode more comfortable, and treated everything I threw at the ASV very well. That is except as noted elsewhere due to no timing control that didn't play as well with introduction of my COPD.
