Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
My AirSense 10 doesn’t have a Bluetooth option in the menu. What should I do?
Some older AirSense 10 models do not have built-in Bluetooth capabilities. If you can’t find a Bluetooth option in the “My Options” menu, your device may not be compatible with the MyAir app for direct data syncing. In this case, you may have to rely on your healthcare provider to access your therapy data through their remote monitoring system, or explore third-party software solutions (if available and compliant with healthcare regulations). Consider upgrading to a newer model if direct syncing is essential.
The MyAir app is not finding my AirSense 10. How can I fix this?
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both your AirSense 10 and your smartphone. Also, make sure your phone is close to the AirSense 10 during the pairing process. Restarting both devices can sometimes resolve connectivity issues. Lastly, confirm that the MyAir app has the necessary permissions (Bluetooth access) in your phone’s settings.
How often should I sync my AirSense 10 with the MyAir app?
While data is automatically synced after each use (if Bluetooth is active and the app is open), it’s recommended to open the MyAir app daily to ensure the latest data is uploaded and displayed correctly. This allows you to track your progress and receive timely coaching tips.
Can I sync my AirSense 10 with multiple devices (e.g., phone and tablet)?
Typically, an AirSense 10 can only be actively paired with one device at a time for data syncing via Bluetooth. While you might be able to log into the MyAir app on multiple devices to view the data, the data is primarily sourced from a single paired AirSense 10.
What data is actually synced between my AirSense 10 and the MyAir app?
The MyAir app primarily syncs data related to your CPAP therapy usage, including: Usage hours, Mask seal quality, Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI – events per hour), Mask off incidents, and Leak rate.
Does syncing my AirSense 10 with the MyAir app consume a lot of battery on my phone?
The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology used for syncing is designed to minimize battery consumption. However, consistently keeping Bluetooth enabled and the MyAir app running in the background can contribute to a slight increase in battery drain. Close the app when not actively monitoring your data.
Is my personal data secure when syncing my AirSense 10 with the MyAir app?
ResMed employs industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data. Data transmission between your AirSense 10 and the MyAir app is encrypted. ResMed’s privacy policy outlines how they collect, use, and protect your information.
What happens if I lose my internet connection during the syncing process?
While pairing requires an internet connection, the Airsense 10 continues to collect data even without internet. Once the connection is restored, the data will be synced.
How do I unpair my AirSense 10 from the MyAir app?
Within the MyAir app, there should be an option to “Disconnect Device” or “Remove Machine.” This will unpair your AirSense 10 from the app. You may also need to remove the AirSense 10 from your phone’s Bluetooth settings.
I’m having trouble understanding the data in the MyAir app. Where can I get help?
The MyAir app provides built-in help and FAQs. You can also consult with your sleep therapist or doctor, who can help you interpret your data and make adjustments to your therapy as needed. ResMed’s customer support is another valuable resource.
Can I use the MyAir app without syncing it to my AirSense 10?
While you can download and explore the MyAir app, its primary function is to display and analyze data synced from your ResMed device. Without syncing, you won’t have personalized data and the app’s benefits will be significantly limited.
Is syncing my AirSense 10 with the app required to use the device for CPAP therapy?
No, using your AirSense 10 for CPAP therapy does not require syncing it with the MyAir app. The AirSense 10 will function independently to deliver the prescribed air pressure. Syncing is optional and provides additional data tracking and support features.
