AirMini AutoSet Travel CPAP

I tried to adjust the settings but was unable to breathe comfortably. I will wait until I speak with my Doctor

I like my mini but could I get a mask

It’s great

The Airmini is here, but I'm still waiting for the connector hose. So I haven't had the opportunity to try it.

AirMini AutoSet Travel CPAP

It does the same job as my original cpap. Not only is it smaller but it doesn’t need distilled water. I love it.

Really useful and helps me sleep better since starting cpap. I travel on motorcycle a lot and the airmini is perfect for that

Great little machine- makes traveling more enjoyable

It’s great to head out on a quick trip and not have to lug my big Cpap machine with me..

If you need a clap and travel extensively this is the perfect support

AirMini – Significant Comfort and Therapy Issues

Hello,

I recently purchased a ResMed AirMini AutoSet for travel from Easybreathe. My regular home CPAP is a ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet, which I find extremely comfortable and, overall, works very well for me.

Over the past several days, I have conducted multiple tests and direct comparisons between the two machines. Unfortunately, after several nights using the AirMini, the difference has been very significant. In its current configuration, I do not feel comfortable using the AirMini or relying on it for travel until I understand what is causing these issues and how they can be resolved.

I am using the AirMini with an AirFit N20 Nasal Mask, Medium. I have performed the mask-fit tests using the app and following ResMed's instructions, and the mask has received excellent results and appears to fit and seal properly.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance with the following:

Air pressure feels too high: During the three nights I have used the AirMini, the app has displayed pressure readings of approximately 11–13.5 cmH₂O. I do not know whether these values are clinically appropriate for me, but the AirMini feels as though it is delivering air much more forcefully than my home machine. Please verify that the AirMini settings fully match my prescription and the appropriate therapy settings for my AirSense 11.

Swallowed air, abdominal bloating and gas: Since using the AirMini, I have experienced air entering my stomach, resulting in bloating, gas, and significant physical discomfort. I do not normally experience this to this extent with my AirSense 11. Please advise whether this could be related to the pressure or another therapy/comfort setting.

Significant dry mouth: I am waking with considerable dry mouth, sometimes enough that I need to drink water during the night. I have also switched from the standard HumidX to HumidX Plus, but this has not resolved the problem and at times the dryness seems even worse.

Very noticeable breathing noise through the mask: This is one of my main concerns. With the AirMini, I can very clearly hear myself breathing — both every inhalation and every exhalation — through or around the mask/connector area. I have directly compared this with my AirSense 11, where my breathing is extremely quiet, smooth and comfortable, and I essentially do not hear myself breathing. With the AirMini, the sound accompanies every breathing cycle and makes the experience considerably less comfortable. Since I have already tested the mask fit successfully, please advise whether this is expected with the AirMini/N20 system and whether there is a safe way to resolve or substantially reduce it.

Overall discomfort and lack of confidence using the AirMini: The combination of the pressure sensation, swallowed air/bloating, significant dryness, and breathing noise makes the AirMini experience very different from the excellent experience I have with my AirSense 11. I purchased the AirMini specifically so that I could travel with reliable and comfortable CPAP therapy. At this point, unfortunately, I do not feel comfortable relying on the AirMini for travel until these issues are understood and resolved.

Access to and download of detailed therapy data: I would like to review and download/export the detailed therapy data from the AirMini for the nights I have used it, including pressure, leak, AHI/events, and any other relevant information. I have not been able to find a way to download or export these data from the AirMini app. Please advise how I can obtain the complete therapy data.

Before making any changes myself, I would appreciate your review and specific guidance on how to proceed, particularly confirmation that the AirMini is configured appropriately for my prescribed therapy.

Thank you very much for your assistance,

ZV

I like the size and portability but am dosapointed with the loud air noise and the hearing of every breath in and out even using the silencer

Haven't tried it yet. Been too busy. Will try it soon.

I appreciate the sales price and look forward to using this when I travel. My one are of frustration was that it was not clear that my existing Resmed tubing and mask would not work. And that there is no humidity features unless I get a new mask, tube & HumidX tabs

Great machine

Love it a wonderful night of sleep.

I am not happy with the lack of choices for a mask when purchased. For me a nose mask is impossible because of the way I breath. I had to order a $150+ full face mask. It should have come with my choice of mask. Very disappointing for over $900…

Works nice!

I'm extremely disappointed with the amount of noise that it creates when I sleep with it and the fact that that's a known issue and was not relayed when I tried to get it.

It’s compact. It’s does not compare to my home machine. I wake up with dry mouth. It’s quiet for a few hours then it gets louder as night goes on.

I was surprised at how noisy it is. When mine sounds like that I take it off. It is not like white noise as that doesn't vary with your breathing

Also it didn’t come with a humidifier
Dried my nasal passages out so bad I had bloody nose

As purchased with the P10 setup I found it a little loud with the humidifier at the end of the P10 tube. I ended up getting the adapter and attached a Q-lite and used a generic, inline humidifier. Much quieter.

I need help getting my pressure just right. It seems much stronger than my other machine so around 11:30 or midnight I end up pulling off due to fact I cannot absorb it all.

It is convenient and easy to use.

Everything is good with the exception of potential airflow/nasal fitting & acquiring daily data RE: hourly sleep data?? Any recommendations would be helpful.
Thank you,
Jean Huegel

I was hoping for a lot better results but I can't even fall asleep with the mask on it

Too loud to sleep. What are my options

I am surprised and thrilled that this tiny machine can meet my CPAP needs. How can such a tiny CPAP be so quiet and yet deliver the therapy I need?

Unable to use. The mask hose wouldn’t connect to the mask. They sent the wrong fitting! They said they would replace but still waiting?

I haven’t been able to try it yet because I wasn’t told that I needed a different hose, mask, nose cushion, and humidifier cartridges. Waiting for my delivery. You need to put all that’s needed. My Resmed 11 stuff won’t work.
