AirMini CPAP indications of use
So, what does the AirMini look like? As you can see from the Resmed Airmini Photo this is indeed the smallest CPAP in the world. The AirMini by ResMed is a self-adjusting system which is suitable for the treatment of OSA-Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The machine is suitable for both home use and use in a clinical environment. The AirMini system includes the following items and setup packs:
- AirMini machine, power supply unit, carry case + one of the following packs:

HumidX & HumidX Plus humidifier systems for AirMini
HumidX and HumidX Plus are waterless humidifiers. The HumidX is suitable for humidification in average climate conditions, while the Plus version is suitable for humidification in dry climates (such as in an aircraft cabin). The systems are designed so as to offer higher comfort levels by balancing the moisture content of the air you breathe. The humidifiers also provide relief from dryness complications.
When the ambient humidity levels are very low, the use of the HumidX Plus is highly recommended. For example, HumidX Plus needs to be used in an aircraft or at high altitudes. For all other climate conditions, the HumidX waterless humidification is recommended.
- HumidX and HumidX Plus can be used only with the N20 connector for AirMini and the AirFit P10 for AirMini
- Both HumidX and HumidX Plus must be replaced 30 days after opening the package.
AirMini Comfort features
AirMini features several comfort features that you can use to enjoy a more comfortable and compliant therapy session. For example, Ramp Time allows you to fall asleep upon a gentler pressure. When the time is up, the machine will gradually return to the prescribed pressure levels so that you will receive indicated pressure levels and therapy.
Then, pressure relief is also available on the AirMini. EPR- or Expiratory Pressure Relief is a premium comfort feature which enhances the comfort levels during CPAP therapy. The EPR helps reducing the CPAP pressure upon exhalation on a breath-by-breath basis. Therefore, patients can become quickly therapy compliant and will accept CPAP therapy much quicker thanks to this comfort feature.
SmartStart is yet another comfort feature that will help you become quickly therapy compliant. When SmartStart is enabled, you can actually start your therapy by simply taking a breath and the machine will start delivering required therapy.
AirMini App- keep control of your therapeutic session
The AirMini machine is designed to work with the AirMini App. You can easily and quickly download your application on iTunes or Google Play (IOS and Android smart devices respectively). The AirMini app represents a personal sleep therapy assistant, and it allows you to make changes to the comfort settings or view therapy data with a few clicks.
- Manage everything on your smart device- including Start / Stop of your therapy with the AirMini
- Sleep Tracking feature- receive daily stats regarding AirMini usage hours, events per hour or mask seal. These statistics are all recorded for you to view after you wake up
- Personal dashboard- the most recent therapy session snapshot will be available on your dashboard so that you can easily view all important therapeutic data
- Adjustable comfort settings – Ramp Time, SmartStart, EPR. Please keep in mind that therapy pressure will be set by your medical provider.
- Easily connect to your AirMini machine using Bluetooth technology

Jim you have several great choices in the travel CPAP arena. The top 2 in our opinion are the ResMed Airmin Travel CPAP and The Philips Respironics DreamStation Go Auto Travel CPAP. These two are head and shoulders above the others. The good thing about the Respironics DreamStation Go Auto CPOAP is that you are able to use any mask on it where as on the ResMed Air Mini you can only pick from the AirFit P10 Nasal Pillows, AirFit N20 Nasal Mask or the AIrFit or AIrTouch F20 Full Face Mask. Nasal However if you want to be a little more economical you can look at the Human Design Medical Z1 Auto Travel CPAP. If you are only using the machine a few time a year this may be a consideration. It is at a good price point. Please understand that the way the DreamStation Go and the ResMed AirMin follow your breathing pattern better than any of the other travel machines. The last travel CPAP is the Transcende miniCPAP. Again a great price point however I think you can do better. Let us know if you have any questions we can answer

ResMed has no plans to release a heated humidifier that used water for the AirMini. This would defeat the entire basis of the unit. What ResMed has done is created a dry humidification system known as the HumidX that takes moisture from your exhalation and delivers it to you when you inhale.
I am not sure where you heard that Respironics is coming out with a heated humidifier for the DreamStation Go however I am not aware of this and I just hung up the phone with Respironics and they say they have no intentions of doing so.
Please let us know if we may assist you with either the ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP or the Respironics DreamStation Go. You may reach us toll-free at (866) 923-2727 or visit us at the following site: https://sleeprestfully.com/

There is not a need for a tubing wrap for the AirMini. A tubing wrap is used to maintain the temperature of the air once it passes through a heated humididfer. Since the ResMed AirMini does not use heated humidification it would not accomplish anything. I might look into the time frame that you are going prior to putting a new HumidX Plus into the system. Each HumidX is rated to be used for one month then discarded.
Another suggestion is to add a small room humidifier in your bedroom if it is very dry and that should solve the problem.

I just received my AirMini ( used it for two nights) and am experiencing the same problem….runny nose and frequent sneezing. I’ve tried HumidX and HumidXPlus with no difference. I live in Florida and the AC runs most of the day. I’m hoping that a small humidifier will resolve the problem at home, but I can’t carry one when I travel….sort of defeats the purpose of a mini CPAP if I have to carry extra gear.
Dale
Will Resmed be coming out with a small humidifier for the AirMini? I see PHILLIPS is for the DreamStation Go, but I would prefer the AirMini. I travel 100 nights per year.

Hi.
I have had an AirMini since Aug 2017 as my only machine.Been going well until this Winter (in Aus). Suffering terribly now with nasal congestion and near disabling sneezing.I am thinking I need warmer air.Changed to Humid X Plus but no change.Any insulated tubing wrapping planned.
Any comments welcome

Charles, thanks for your prompt reply. One more answer from you, and I think I’ll be good. Pretend. you’re writing to a technological dunce, and we’ll get through this! Okay, can you please give me a part number, for this inverter you’re speaking of? And perhaps a photo, to go along with it? That will tell me what you’re talking about. Thanks again.
Jim Orlando
Thanks for the reply. I’ll be seeing a sleep apnea doctor next week to discuss options. The first machine I got in 2010 was a CPAP but it blew me up like a ballon. The company who provided the CPAP machine took it back and gave me the VPAP machine.
Jim Orlando
My doctor told me yesterday that I can use an auto cpap 4-20cm. He wrote me a prescription for it. Now I have to decide what is available for travel cpap and what to buy.
Charles Goldberg
We are told that when the ResMed battery is release it will fit on the current ResMed AirMini. There is not gong to be any changes o the unit. That being said we currently have batteries from 3rd parties such as the BSP Freedom battery that will run your AirMini with the use of an inverter we sell.
Cheri Texas
Charles, if I purchased this machine now, if/when a battery comes out, would it be functional with the current devices? Or, would we be out of luck, and. have to buy a new machine, to get battery functioning capabilities.
Thanks for your time.
