There are also several tools available that help patients start their therapy with great ease and help them keep track of their therapy data (such as via MyAir App).

• Extremely easy-to-use touchscreen/ navigation allows for a simplified use & operation

• MyAir includes Personal Therapy Assistant function- where you can get guiding on how to set up your equipment, troubleshoot several issues & obtain better therapy compliance
• With Care Check-In you get assistance custom tailored to your exact needs and requirements
• Climate Control feature allows you to control your humidifier manually or automatically. Thanks to the integrated humidifier, the device is more compact and easier to use, providing you with the optimum humid air during therapy.
• AutoRamp feature- helps you fall asleep on a more gentle pressure. At the start of the therapy, when AutoRamp is ON, the device will deliver a lower pressure setting to help you accommodate to therapy, and fall asleep easier. The device will automatically increase pressure flow to reach prescribed levels by the end of Ramp time.
• EPR- Expiratory Pressure Relief- helps maintaining regular airflow pressure during the inhalation phase. EPR reduces the pressure upon exhalation to make it easier while exhaling. Thus, you do not have to struggle exhaling against a strong pressure.

AirSense 11 Simple. Intuitive. Effective.

All smart and intuitive components and features work together in perfect harmony to provide you with a comfortable experience while getting the therapy that you require. How it works:

• The device pushes the air through the tubing system and into the mask
• The mask will allow the pressurized air to enter the airways. Thus, pressurized air maintains the airways open to prevent apnea events
• The Humidifier will add moisture to the air that you breathe. Moist air helps avoiding irritations such as throat irritations, chapped lips, nasal irritations, dryness and so on.
• The power supply unit helps providing continuous power to the device
• Powerful filters help preventing contaminants, allergens and dust from entering the machine
• With the smart MyAir App you get all the guidance that you need from setting up your machine, to how to use it correctly and up to tracking carefully and in a detailed manner all the therapy data that you need

AirSense 11 is an auto-adjusting device that is capable of adapting to your needs on a breath-by-breath basis. The machine can change airflow pressure following in a natural way your own breathing pattern. AirSense 11 is also available in a gender-specific therapy mode with a special algorithm- AutoSet for Her.
