Tube Brush Compatibility with ClimateLine Hoses
The Tube Brush Second Gen is not compatible with the following tube brands:
- ClimateLineAir™ Heated Tube for AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10 Machines
- ClimateLineAir™ Oxy Heated Tube for AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10 Machines
- While the tube brush can certainly be used to clean these hose models, it's not able to make the 90-degree turn at the machine connection end and will be unable to clean the entire hose. The tube brush is fully compatible with all other hoses.

Humidifier Tips
Do not fill the water chamber past the max fill line as this could result in water entering and damaging the device. Allow the water chamber to cool for ten minutes after use before handling as it could be too hot to the touch. The machine will display a blue snowflake in the upper right of the screen while cooling is taking place.
Wash the water chamber weekly using warm water and a mild detergent, rinsed well, and allowed to dry out of direct sunlight. The standard water chamber included is not dishwasher safe and should only be hand washed. To view a dishwasher safe chamber, see the Dishwasher Safe Water Chamber for AirSense٠10 Humidair٠Heated Humidifier.
If you're not using the integrated heated humidifier, purchase the Side Cover for AirSense٠10, AirStart٠10, and AirCurve٠10 Machines separately in order to enclose the machine opening. The side cover is not needed to operate the machine.
How to Determine if the Water Chamber is Dishwasher Safe?
AirSense٠10 and AirCurve٠10 machines denote the water chamber model with an "S" or "C" label. Look directly above the maximum fill line located on the side of the chamber to find the word HumidAir٠and the corresponding letter embossed into the tank.
- If the water chamber is dishwasher safe, the chamber will appear as HumidAir C, which represents a cleanable tank.
- If the water chamber is the standard model, the chamber will appear as HumidAir S, which represents a standard tank.
Hose Tips
Either a 15mm (Slim) hose or a 22mm (Standard) hose may be used with the AirCurve™ 10 line of machines. The machine must be changed to the proper setting to ensure accurate therapy pressure. Also available is the optional ClimateLineAir™ heated hose which will instantly activate the Auto Climate Control feature when connected to the machine.
A SlimLine™ hose is included with the purchase of the AirCurve™ 10 S BiLevel machine. The hose is found in the interior, zipped compartment of the travel bag. The zippered nook is located at the point where the cover meets the bottom of the travel bag at the back of the machine compartment.
AutoRamp™ Tips
The AirCurve™ 10 S BiLevel machine features AutoRamp™ technology. Unlike traditional ramp features that will slowly ramp up pressure over a set amount of time, AutoRamp™ will remain at the set starting pressure until it senses the user is asleep. The default starting pressure is 4 cm H2O. Once you are asleep, the machine will start ramping 1 cm H2O per minute until it reaches the full prescribed pressure. AutoRamp™ will always reach the full prescribed pressure within 30 minutes, even if the user is not asleep, the machine will start to ramp in 1 cm H2O increments every minute to reach the full prescribed pressure at the 30-minute mark. Additionally, the AirCurve™ 10 S BiLevel machine can be set to a traditional ramp if needed or turned off altogether.
SmartStart™ Tips
SmartStart™ technology may not function as intended when used with a nasal pillow mask and a pressure setting of 7 cm H2O or less. If the feature does not appear to be functioning, this comfort feature can be turned off. Please refer to the User Guide for more information.
Travel Bag Tips
As of early 2015, the AirCurve™ 10 S BiLevel Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier comes with an upgraded travel bag. The improved design is bigger, measuring 13.24 in long, 12 in wide, and 5 in tall. The larger space allows the user to pack and protect their machine as well as the accessories for the machine, such as a mask. There is a zippered compartment located between the lid and the base of the bag. The included SlimLine™ hose is located in this compartment. An image of a hose is placed along the compartment to note it is the location where the user can safely store the hose. Additional images are placed on the flap near the edge of the bag. These pictures signify the designated location for the power cord and the mask.
Airplane Mode Tips
PLEASE NOTE: The AirCurve™ Line of machines includes a built-in wireless modem giving the machine data transfer capabilities over a wireless cellular network. The wireless modem will automatically connect if the machine's "Airplane Mode" is turned to "Off". For privacy concerns, CPAP.com ships the machine with Airplane Mode "On" so that sleep data information will not be transmitted unintentionally over the wireless network. If Airplane Mode is turned "Off", sleep data could be transmitted to ResMed's servers.
PLEASE NOTE: The AirView data transfer system is for use only in North America. It cannot be used to transmit data wirelessly outside of North America. The SD card that accompanies the machine can be used to store and share data.
SD Card Location
The included SD card comes installed in the machine ready to use. While looking at the machine with the display facing forward, the SD card is located under the upper flap with the white "SD" logo on the left side of the machine.
Manufacturer Warranty
This machine comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
Cleaning Tips
- We recommend washing the hose using mild soap and water or rinsing with vinegar.
- For a better clean, use a tube brush to scrub the hard to reach parts of your hose.
- When youӲe finished, rinse with clean drinking water and hang over a towel rack to drip dry.
