An integrated system for sharing feedback

Sometimes you don’t feel you need a formal healthcare appointment, but you would like some advice or reassurance. Care Check-In is an AirSense 11 feature that asks you to share feedback on your therapy experience. It’s a useful way to keep your care team in the loop. Here’s how it works:

  • You answer Care Check-In questions that appear on your device and in the myAir app
  • You receive suggestions that should help you to resolve any simple issues that you’re experiencing
  • Your care team sees your Care Check-In responses
  • Your care team has a clearer picture of how you’re getting on and, if necessary, can provide support

Access to technology upgrades

Our solutions

With AirSense 11, you can feel confident about the quality of your PAP device. Over-the-air software upgrades will give you access to the latest ResMed advances in sleep apnoea therapy technology. And if you change your mask, your AirSense 11 and Personal Therapy Assistant will help you to adapt.

AirSense 11 makes it easy to stay on track

Proven algorithms and trusted features

It isn’t always easy to stick with a nightly PAP routine through the ups and downs of everyday life. So it helps if your PAP therapy is comfortable and customised to your needs. AirSense 11 features include:

  • Advanced algorithms, including the ‘for Her’ algorithm which provides a tailored response to the specific needs of women with obstructive sleep apnoea.
  • AutoRamp, which starts your therapy at a low pressure to help you fall asleep more naturally.
  • The EPR feature, which gently reduces the therapy pressure when you exhale so it’s easier for you to breathe out.

  • Over-the-Air Upgrade, so your AirSense 11 device can receive software upgrades when new features are released
  • Built-in device diagnostics to ensure the noise levels of your device’s motor meet our quality standards.*
