Does ResMed make AirCurve 10 with “for her” options?

Post by fasttimes » Sun Nov 03, 2019 12:53 am

I basically want to get a machine that has the greatest number of options available so that I can experiment with the options that go along with my sleep study options. At the moment I’m leaning towards the Air Sense. However, i can’t tell what the differences are between the AirSense 10 AutoSet and AirSense 10 VAuto. Does the VAuto offer more flexibility? And as the title asks, does the AirCurve come with “for her” models?

Fortunately my ENT will write an Rx for whatever model I ask him for.

The VAuto allows more customization in how exactly the machine switches between epap and ipap, and back to epap, as well as more than the 3cm difference between the two that the Autosets offer.

No, there's no aircurve vauto for her.

I use the S9 VPAP Auto, which is pretty much the same functions, just in a bigger case. I really like it. Some of the tweaks reduced my AHI. (detailed at length elsewhere.).

The outside front plate of my Airsense 10 is removable, and I have done so for aggressive cleaning.
I have considered giving her a paint job, but iridescent is too expensive..

I actually happen to own both the AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her and an AirCurve 10 VAuto.
I actually did use the for her algorithm and liked it and did well with it (not everyone will) so I do sort of wish that the AirCurve had a version of the for Her algorithm but they don't.

Some of the early Airsense For Hers were actually produced in the silver AirCurve chassis. If it is just for esthetics, you could look for one of those.

I see cpapman lists the replacement front plate ($19) in black for Airsense,
white for Her, or silver for Aircurve. (Same mold? Yikes!)
All they need is primer, for those who like to customize.

You can get plastic paint in spraycans at most hardware stores and Home depot, it work very well on plastic , I have used it on lawn fruniture .
With a little blue painters tape you can make it very custom :D
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

I’m not sure how we go onto color, but that’s not how I read the OP question.

Both the Vauto and For Her could be argued as extensions or or supersets of the Autoset, but they are different. The For Her do some things the Vauto can’t, and the Vauto Can do some things the For Her can’t. Both can basically do anything the Autoset Can do.
