REFURBISHED RESMED AIRCURVE 10 VAUTO BIPAP
The ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto is an auto-adjusting bilevel PAP device designed to provide personalized pressure support and enhanced comfort for users during sleep. It combines ResMed’s advanced VAuto algorithm with Easy-Breathe technology and an integrated humidifier to create a tailored and comfortable sleep therapy experience.
Key Features
Auto-Adjusting BiLevel Support
The VAuto algorithm automatically adjusts inhalation and exhalation pressure levels based on real-time breathing patterns. The Easy-Breathe waveform is designed to mimic natural breathing, promoting a smoother and more comfortable experience.
Multiple Therapy Modes
Users can choose between VAuto mode (auto-adjusting bilevel), standard CPAP mode, or fixed bilevel (S) mode for greater flexibility and control.
Oxygen Compatibility
Supports the use of supplemental oxygen when configured in CPAP and bilevel S modes (up to 15 L/min) and in VAuto mode (up to 4 L/min).
Integrated Humidification
The built-in HumidAir™ humidifier helps maintain consistent humidity throughout the night. Optional ClimateLineAir™ heated tubing with Climate Control can be added to further enhance comfort and reduce condensation.
User Comfort Features
- Ramp Function: Gradually increases pressure from a lower starting point to the prescribed setting for easier sleep initiation.
- SmartStart™: Automatically begins airflow when breathing is detected and stops shortly after mask removal.
- Mask Fit Check: Helps assess mask seal before therapy begins.
- Leak Alert (Optional): Alerts users if a significant mask leak is detected.
- Vsync™: Continuously adjusts for minor leaks to maintain consistent performance.
Quiet and Intuitive Design
The quiet Easy-Breathe motor minimizes noise, helping to reduce sleep disruptions. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the LCD screen brightness based on room lighting, and the display turns off to avoid disturbing sleep.
Travel and Connectivity
- Travel Ready: FAA-approved for in-flight use.
- Built-In Wireless: Enables data transfer and compatibility with ResMed’s AirView™ platform, allowing for secure remote access and support. Data can also be transferred manually via the included SD card.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto used for?
The ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto is an auto-adjusting bilevel (BiPAP) device designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It automatically adjusts pressure levels throughout the night while providing separate inhalation and exhalation pressures for improved comfort.
What does VAuto mean?
VAuto is ResMed's auto-adjusting bilevel therapy mode that automatically adjusts pressure support based on breathing needs while maintaining separate inspiratory (IPAP) and expiratory (EPAP) pressures.
How is the AirCurve 10 VAuto different from a CPAP machine?
A CPAP machine delivers a single pressure throughout the night, while the AirCurve 10 VAuto provides two pressure levels—higher pressure during inhalation and lower pressure during exhalation. This can make breathing feel more natural and comfortable for many users.
How is the AirCurve 10 VAuto different from a standard BiPAP?
Unlike a fixed-pressure BiPAP, the AirCurve 10 VAuto automatically adjusts therapy pressures throughout the night based on changes in breathing patterns and airway needs.
Does the AirCurve 10 VAuto require a prescription?
Yes. A valid prescription from a licensed physician is required before shipment to patients. Healthcare facilities and licensed providers may purchase according to applicable regulations.
Is this AirCurve 10 VAuto new or refurbished?
This unit is professionally refurbished, inspected, cleaned, and tested prior to shipment to ensure proper operation and performance.
What accessories are included with the AirCurve 10 VAuto?
This system includes a power supply, carrying case, humidifier chamber, and tubing.
Does the AirCurve 10 VAuto include a heated humidifier?
Yes. The AirCurve 10 VAuto includes the integrated HumidAir heated humidifier to help reduce dryness and improve comfort during therapy.
Can heated tubing be used with the AirCurve 10 VAuto?
Yes. The AirCurve 10 VAuto is compatible with ClimateLineAir heated tubing, which helps maintain consistent temperature and humidity while reducing condensation inside the tubing.
What is Easy-Breathe technology?
Easy-Breathe technology helps create a smooth and natural airflow pattern that can make therapy feel more comfortable and less intrusive during sleep.
What is Climate Control?
Climate Control automatically adjusts humidity and temperature settings when used with ClimateLineAir heated tubing, helping optimize comfort and reduce rainout.
Can I use my existing CPAP or BiPAP mask with this device?
Yes. The AirCurve 10 VAuto is compatible with most standard CPAP and BiPAP masks that utilize industry-standard tubing connections.
Does the AirCurve 10 VAuto record therapy data?
