AirCurve 10 ST

AirCurve 10 ST

Showing a constant dedication to patient comfort, innovation in technology and use of only top quality components, ResMed brings on the market yet another user friendly Bi-Level machine. The AirCurve 10ST is intended to be used by patients with OSA-Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and the device is indicated for both home treatment and hospital use.

AirCurve 10 ST is a BiLevel device offering perfect patient –ventilator synchrony thanks to its incorporated backup rate. The device represents the best solution for patients who need extremely reliable, non-invasive type of ventilation either at home or in hospital care. AirCurve 10ST is equipped with all the latest innovative technology features to ensure patients are well ventilated all throughout the treatment phase, and they get maximum comfort and support with each breath.

AirCurve 10 ST Innovative Features

• Ti Control: TiControl is a special feature that allows the healthcare expert to set minimum and maximum time limits for the inspiration phase. In the case of patients with more complex respiratory disorders, early/late cycling can easily occur during the pressure support ventilation treatment. Ti Control helps prevent early and/or late cycling so that patients can enjoy maximum breathing comfort throughout the required therapy.
• Climate Control Technology: Throughout the therapy, the device will deliver comfortable humidity and temperature levels right at the mask. Climate Control comprises the inbuilt HumidAir humidifier system and the ClimateLineAir heated tube system. Climate Control is an intelligent feature that can adapt to the temperature and humidity conditions available in the environment where the device is used. Thus, the system will deliver optimal temperature and humidity for the best breathing comfort throughout the treatment.

The ClimateLine heated tube incorporates a special, sensitive heating circuit which is directly controlled by the Climate Control algorithm. The role of the sensor is to constantly measure the temperature of the air coming out of the tube, so that the algorithm can control the temperature and deliver maximum comfortable air that is not too cold or too hot.

Considering the classic humidifiers it should be noted these will cool down the air in the tube instantly as the environmental temperature drops. As a result, condensation can easily form into the tubing system which is quite uncomfortable. As a contrast, ClimateLine tubing maintains the temperature delivered constantly, regardless of the temperature changes in the environment.

• Each AirCurve 10 ST device comes with integrated wireless technology- there will be no need for additional SD Card or any module integration. Patients can easily access the online management system AirView whenever they want to check the nightly therapy data.

AirCurve 10 ST Cautions:

• Make sure not to overfill the water tub as water can easily enter the air tubing and device and cause damages
• Use distilled water to fill up the tub
• Never use hot water to fill up the tub
• Always read carefully the mask user guide in order to set it up correctly and ensure that your device is working efficiently and in synchrony with the mask and tubing system

AirCurve 10 ST My Options

The device allows patients to truly personalize therapy to their needs and requirements. Accessing My Options is quick and easy:

• Making small adjustments is possible with a tap on the screen or a turn of the dial
• Set Ramp Time, Humidity Level or set the device to airplane mode
• Run Mask Fit- this feature allows setting the mask in a perfect position, so that there are no mask leaks or discomfort present.
• Enable Leak Alert- AirCurve 10 ST will beep if the mask leaks too much air. This way you can make easy and quick adjustments for a perfect seal and ensure you get efficient therapy all throughout the session
• SmartStart option- when the SmartStart option is enabled, therapy will start instantly as you breathe into the mask. The device will stop delivering therapy after you take off the mask.
• Warmup Function- you can easily and quickly pre-heat the water before you even start your therapy session. This way, you can ensure the air is never too cold/dry when you start your therapy session.
