AirCurve 11 VAuto BiPAP with HumidAir - ResMed

AirCurve 11 VAuto with HumidAir by ResMed

Staying on top of CPAP therapy is easier than ever with the ResMed AirCurve 11 VAuto BiPAP. Featuring cutting-edge technology tailored to your comfort, the AirCurve 11 VAuto packs the latest BiPAP innovations in one sleek and compact device. 

State-of-the-Art BiPAP Algorithm
Combining world-renowned ResMed features such as the Easy-Breathe waveform, VSync leak compensation, and adjustable TiControl, the device’s VAuto mode offers personalized therapy to ensure compliance. 

For precision in pressure delivery, the machine dynamically responds to flow limitations, apneas, and snoring by automatically adjusting both inhalation (IPAP) and exhalation (EPAP) pressures. The Easy-Breathe waveform meticulously monitors each breath, adapting to your unique breathing patterns in real-time for a more natural and comfortable breathing experience. For improved compliance, the VSync feature compensates for mask leaks to ensure you receive your prescribed therapy pressure. 

Customizations for Better Comfort
To accommodate the different needs of BiPAP users, the AirCurve 11 VAuto offers vast customization options. These include adjustable IPAP and EPAP pressure settings (S mode), cycle sensitivity settings, minimum and maximum inspiratory time limits (TiControls), and a standard CPAP mode. In CPAP mode, you have the option to activate the Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR) function, letting you reduce the pressure upon exhalation by 1, 2, or 3 cm H2O so you can breathe out more easily.

To fall asleep faster, you can enable the Ramp feature, which starts therapy at a lower pressure and can be adjusted in 5-minute increments. The VAuto also comes with the SmartStart/SmartStop feature, which automatically starts therapy once you breathe into your CPAP mask and stops upon mask removal. 

Designed for Ease of Use
Navigating the settings is made simple by the AirCurve 11 VAuto’s color touchscreen, along with its large on/off button. For effortless cleaning, the device comes with a removable water tub and disposable air filter. You can also opt for a more low-maintenance version of the standard water tub: the dishwasher-friendly AirSense/AirCurve 11 Cleanable Water Tub.

Modern Travel-Ready Design
Weighing less than 3 pounds, this FAA-approved BiPAP machine is the perfect travel companion. It sports a modern-looking case and compact build, discreetly blending into any interior. With a noise level of 27 dBA (+/- 2 dBA), the AirCurve 11 VAuto is quieter than a whisper, maintaining a peaceful bedroom environment for more restful nights. 

Integrated Heated Humidification
With the AirCurve 11 VAuto’s built-in heated humidifier, you’ll no longer wake up suffering from dry mouth or nasal congestion. For better rainout protection, you can pair the BiPAP with the optional ClimateLineAir 11 Heated Tubing and set the humidifier to Climate Control Auto. This feature maintains consistent warmth and humidity throughout the tube's length regardless of changes in your room’s conditions. 

Wireless Connectivity and Exclusive myAir Features
Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and a cellular modem, the AirCurve 11 VAuto automatically downloads software updates and transmits your sleep therapy data to your provider.

Pair the AirCurve 11 with your phone via Bluetooth, and you’ll have exclusive access to enhanced myAir app features. The Personal Therapy Assistant offers the Test Drive acclimation tool and video instructions to help you start and get comfortable with therapy. For solving common CPAP issues, the Care Check-In provides tailored feedback and coaching. You also have the option to share your Care Check-In data with your doctor for better support.

FAQ

What is the VAuto mode on the AirCurve 11 BiPAP?
The VAuto mode on the AirCurve 11 automatically adjusts IPAP (inhalation pressure) and EPAP (exhalation pressure) according to flow limits, snoring, and apnea events. It provides a more comfortable and personalized OSA treatment experience. 

How often should I clean the AirCurve 11 VAuto?
Daily: Empty the humidifier tub and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Refill with distilled water (for Standard Water Tub) or potable water (for Cleanable Water Tub). 
Weekly: Wipe the exterior of the AirCurve 11 with a clean, damp cloth. Wash the tubing, humidifier tub, and outlet connector with mild soap and warm water. You can also use a dishwasher to clean the outlet connector and Cleanable Water Tub. Allow to dry completely and keep away from direct sunlight. 

Can I use oxygen with my ResMed AirCurve 11 BiPAP?
Yes. The ResMed AirCurve 11 VAuto BiPAP is compatible with up to 15 L/min of supplemental oxygen. When using supplemental oxygen with the VAuto:

1. Attach the oxygen adapter to the air outlet of the AirCurve 11.
2. Attach the non-heated SlimLine Tubing (or any non-heated tubing) to the oxygen adapter.
3. Connect one end of your oxygen tubing to the oxygen delivery system’s outlet port and the other end of the tubing to the oxygen adapter. 
4. Make sure there are no blockages in the tubing or connector. 
5. To start therapy, turn on the AirCurve 11 first. Then, turn on the oxygen delivery system. 
6. To stop therapy, turn off the oxygen delivery system first, then the AirCurve 11.

If using the ClimateLineAir 11 Heated Tubing, connect the oxygen adapter between the hose and your mask.
