    1. Hi Ron, an AirSense 10 CPAP is a machine that provides one set pressure for inhalation/exhalation and if you have an APAP, the machine is set to a high and low pressure and the pressure changes on a breath, by breath basis to the pressure that the machine senses that you need in between those two pressures.

      The AirCurve is a BiPAP machine that provides one pressure for inhalation and a separate pressure for exhalation. There is an auto version for this machine also.

      Keep in mind that the AirSense 10 and the AirCurve 10 are two totally different machines and the prescriptions are different. If your doctor wants you to have an AirCurve machine, the prescription must specifically state BiPAP.

      My apologies, but we do not sell the So Clean machine, or any of their products. We do however, sell the Lumin, which is a UV Sanitizer. I have included a link below with more information on the cleaner that we offer.
