ResMed AirCurve 11 VAuto BiLevel Machine

Some people find it genuinely hard to breathe out against a CPAP's constant, single pressure, especially at higher settings. The ResMed AirCurve 11 VAuto is a bilevel device, also known as a BiPAP, built for exactly that problem. It delivers a higher pressure while you inhale and automatically eases off to a lower pressure while you exhale, adjusting breath by breath so therapy feels closer to how you'd naturally breathe. The built-in HumidAir humidifier offers several humidity levels to cut down on dryness, and the touchscreen interface makes dialing in your comfort settings simple.

Pair your AirCurve 11 VAuto with the myAir app over Bluetooth for a nightly therapy score, personalized coaching, and guided setup. Built-in cellular connectivity also means the device can receive software updates and share compliance data without you having to do anything extra.

myAir: Your Therapy, Explained Daily

The AirCurve 11 VAuto works with myAir, ResMed's online support program, to give you a daily sleep score, encouragement, and coaching tailored to your own data, essentially a personal sleep coach that lives on your phone. Through either myAir or the machine itself, Care Check-In asks how therapy is going and, with your permission, shares your answers with your care team so they can support you more effectively.

Inside myAir, Personal Therapy Assistant provides voice-guided instructions and videos to help you get your equipment set up correctly. Its Test Drive tool lets you sample breathing against air pressure before you commit to a full night, and offers tips for adjusting your mask if it detects a leak.

Remote Software Updates

Because the AirCurve 11 VAuto can receive updates over the air, you won't be stuck with the technology it shipped with. ResMed can send software updates and new digital features directly to your device, so your machine can keep improving over time without a trip back to your provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prescription to buy the AirCurve 11 VAuto?

Yes. A valid bilevel PAP prescription is required, since this device delivers higher and more specialized pressure support than a standard CPAP.

What's the difference between a CPAP and a BiPAP like the AirCurve 11 VAuto?

A standard CPAP delivers one constant pressure all night. The AirCurve 11 VAuto, a bilevel or BiPAP machine, delivers two, a higher pressure for inhalation and a lower one for exhalation, adjusting automatically as you breathe. It's typically prescribed for patients who need more pressure support than a CPAP provides or who have trouble tolerating a single, fixed pressure. If your prescription calls for a standard CPAP instead, see our ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet or ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet pages.

How is this different from the AirCurve 10 VAuto?

Both are auto-adjusting bilevel machines, but the AirCurve 11 VAuto uses ResMed's newer Air11 platform, with a touchscreen instead of a dial-and-menu interface, built-in cellular connectivity for updates and data sharing, and newer accessories (like ClimateLineAir 11 tubing) that aren't interchangeable with AirCurve 10 parts. See our ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto page if you'd like to compare the two directly.

Is this the same as the AirCurve 11 ASV?

No. The AirCurve 11 VAuto and the AirCurve 11 ASV are different devices. VAuto is designed for obstructive sleep apnea and general bilevel pressure support, while ASV is a more specialized device for central or complex sleep apnea. Your prescription will specify which one you need.

Can I use my existing CPAP mask with this machine?

Yes, as long as it uses a standard 22mm connection, which covers the vast majority of masks on the market. It is not compatible with masks made specifically for the ResMed AirMini.

How often should I replace the filter?

About every 6 months under normal use, or sooner if it looks visibly dirty or damaged.

What is the warranty on this machine?

2 year warranty.
