Your machine is compatible with ResMed masks. For a full list of

compatible masks for this device, see the Mask device compatibility list

on ResMed.com/downloads/masks.

4

Note: Not all masks are available in all regions.

Make sure all parts and accessories used with the machine are

compatible. For compatibility information, refer to ResMed.com for

more information.

Your AirMini machine is designed to work with ResMed’s AirMini app.

However, the AirMini app is not essential to operate the machine. For

more information on the AirMini app, refer to Using your machine with

the AirMini app or the AirMini app Patient eHelp.

HumidX and HumidX Plus

The HumidX and HumidX Plus are waterless humidifiers. These are

designed to provide more comfort by improving the moisture level in

the air you breathe and offering relief from possible dryness.

The HumidX is a good starting point for finding the right level of

humidification. The HumidX Plus will improve the humidity level further

and is useful when the ambient humidity level is very low (eg, high

altitudes, on an aircraft).

The HumidX and HumidX Plus can be used with the N20 connector for

AirMini and AirFit P10 for AirMini only.

The HumidX and HumidX Plus must be replaced within 30 days of

opening the HumidX/HumidX Plus pack.

Comfort features

Ramp Time, Pressure Relief and SmartStart are enabled on your

machine.

Designed to make the beginning of therapy more comfortable, Ramp

Time is the period during which pressure gradually increases from a

lower start pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure.

SmartStart™

When SmartStart is turned on, therapy starts automatically when you

breathe into your mask.

SmartStop

When SmartStop is turned on, therapy stops automatically after a few

seconds when you remove your mask.

Expiratory Pressure Relief

Designed to make therapy more comfortable, Expiratory Pressure Relief

(EPR) maintains optimal treatment during inhalation and reduces the

delivered mask pressure during exhalation.

Changing comfort features

Your AirMini machine has been set up for your needs by your provider,

but you may find that you want to make small adjustments to comfort

settings to make your therapy more comfortable.

For more information about comfort settings, or for information on

view your therapy data via the AirMini app. Data sent via Bluetooth is

encrypted to protect your privacy.

Connecting your machine and smart device

interaction (ie, app automatically uploads data whenever new

data is available and active internet connection is present). You

must provide consent to enable this feature as it is disabled by

default. This feature can be enabled or disabled anytime on the

More screen.

On-demand data upload – clinician or patient-initiated feature that

uploads all data that has not already been sent to the cloud. This

feature can be used by clinician or patient regardless if

Cleaning and maintenance

It is important that you regularly clean your AirMini machine to make

sure you receive optimal therapy. The following sections will help you

with disassembly, cleaning and checking your machine.

WARNING

• As part of good hygiene, always follow cleaning instructions.

Some cleaning products may damage the air tubing and affect

its function, or leave harmful residual vapours that could be

inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.

• The AirMini connectors and AirFit P10 for AirMini contain a vent

system to prevent carbon dioxide build-up in the mask. The vent

system must be kept clean and clear of contamination in order

to function correctly. Blocking or modifying the vent system

may result in excessive carbon dioxide rebreathing.

• Regularly clean your AirMini tubing, connectors and mask

components to receive optimal therapy and to prevent the

growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.

• Regularly inspect the HumidX/HumidX Plus and follow the

cleaning and maintenance instructions to prevent the growth of

germs that can adversely affect your health.

CAUTION

If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent

(cracking, discoloration, tears etc.), the component should be

discarded and replaced.
