Description
Quick answer: The ResMed AirCurve 10 ST-A is the most advanced device in the AirCurve 10 bilevel range — a bilevel device that adds iVAPS (intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support) on top of ST (Spontaneous/Timed) mode, with a built-in HumidAir humidifier (part 28285, Card-to-Cloud version). iVAPS automatically adjusts pressure support to maintain a target ventilation, making it suited to non-invasive ventilation for people with significant hypoventilation. It is a prescription device for specific serious conditions, set up and titrated only by a physician or clinical team.
⚠️ This is an advanced non-invasive ventilation device, not a CPAP or ordinary BiPAP. It is prescribed for specific serious conditions and configured entirely by your clinical team. Do not use it, or change any settings, except exactly as prescribed.

About this device
The AirCurve 10 ST-A builds on bilevel ST therapy — two pressures (IPAP/EPAP) plus a timed backup rate — and adds ResMed’s iVAPS mode. The “A” stands for the volume-assured capability: rather than delivering fixed pressure support, iVAPS targets a set alveolar ventilation and automatically adjusts the pressure support, breath by breath, to maintain it as the patient’s needs change through the night. It also learns the patient’s breathing to set an intelligent backup rate.
This makes it suited to non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for people with significant hypoventilation — for example advanced neuromuscular disease, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, or COPD-related hypoventilation — where maintaining adequate ventilation, not just splinting the airway, is the goal. It’s a substantially more capable and more complex device than CPAP or a standard bilevel, and is entirely clinician-configured for a confirmed diagnosis.
“Card-to-Cloud” describes data handling: the device records to an SD card for transfer to the care team, rather than uploading over cellular. The built-in HumidAir humidifier adds comfort, and the device works with ClimateLineAir heated tubing.
Important: prescription & safety
- The AirCurve 10 ST-A is an advanced prescription NIV device for specific serious diagnosed conditions — used only as prescribed.
- All settings — pressures, target ventilation, backup rate, alarms — are configured and titrated by your clinical team. Never change settings yourself.
- People using NIV for chronic respiratory failure may be dependent on ventilatory support — follow your clinical team’s guidance on backup power, alarms, and monitoring, and have a plan for power failure.
- If your health or breathing changes, contact your clinical team promptly.
- This device does not replace the clinical monitoring your care team advises.

Frequently asked questions
What does “ST-A” and iVAPS mean?
ST-A is the bilevel ST device with the added iVAPS mode. iVAPS (intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support) targets a set ventilation and automatically adjusts pressure support to maintain it, with an intelligent backup rate.
How is this different from the AirCurve 10 ST?
The ST delivers bilevel pressures with a backup rate. The ST-A adds iVAPS — volume-assured support that targets a set ventilation — making it more capable for significant hypoventilation and NIV.
Is this a CPAP?
No — it’s an advanced non-invasive ventilation device, far beyond CPAP, for specific serious conditions and configured entirely by a clinical team.
What does “Card-to-Cloud” mean?
The device records therapy data to an SD card for transfer to your care team, rather than uploading over cellular.
Is the humidifier included?
Yes — the HumidAir heated humidifier is built in, with a water tub.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes — a prescription is required, and the device is configured and titrated by your clinical team for your specific diagnosis.
Can you help with insurance?
We can help with insurance-related purchases through our affiliated service — contact us at (646) 933-0080 and we’ll walk you through the options.
How is it delivered?
We offer local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and across NYC, plus USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S. A valid prescription is required before dispensing.
This is an advanced prescription non-invasive ventilation device for specific serious diagnosed conditions. It must be configured and titrated by a clinical team, and settings must never be changed except as prescribed. Patients dependent on ventilatory support should follow their care team’s guidance on backup power, alarms, and monitoring. Follow the ResMed clinical documentation and your care team’s instructions.
