ResMed AirCurve 10 ST with HumidAir

Quick answer: The ResMed AirCurve 10 ST is a bilevel (BiPAP) device with ST — Spontaneous/Timed — mode, meaning it delivers two pressure levels (higher on inhale, lower on exhale) and includes a backup respiratory rate that delivers a breath if you don’t initiate one within a set time. It has a built-in HumidAir heated humidifier (part 37306). ST therapy is prescribed for specific conditions involving reduced ventilation or breathing drive — not for ordinary obstructive sleep apnea. It’s a prescription device, set up and titrated by your physician.

⚠️ This is not a CPAP. The AirCurve 10 ST is a bilevel device with a timed backup rate, prescribed for specific conditions. Use it, and change settings, only exactly as prescribed by your physician.

About this device

A bilevel device delivers two pressures — a higher one when you breathe in (IPAP) and a lower one when you breathe out (EPAP) — which makes breathing out against pressure easier and provides pressure support to assist each breath. That’s helpful where a person needs help moving enough air, not just an open airway.

The “ST” adds a crucial element: Spontaneous/Timed mode with a backup respiratory rate. In spontaneous breathing, the device follows the patient’s own breaths; but if the patient doesn’t take a breath within a set interval, the timed backup delivers one automatically. That backup matters for people whose breathing drive is reduced or unreliable — for example in certain neuromuscular conditions, hypoventilation, or forms of central sleep apnea — ensuring a minimum breathing rate is maintained.

This is fundamentally different from CPAP (one fixed pressure, airway-splinting only). It’s a clinician-prescribed and clinician-titrated therapy for specific confirmed diagnoses. The built-in HumidAir humidifier adds comfort, and the device is compatible with ClimateLineAir heated tubing.

Important: prescription & safety

• The AirCurve 10 ST is a prescription device for specific diagnosed conditions — used only as prescribed.
• Pressures, modes, and the backup rate are set and titrated by your physician. Do not change any settings yourself.
• If your health or breathing changes, contact your physician.
• This device is not a substitute for the clinical monitoring your care team advises. For anyone dependent on ventilatory support, follow your clinical team’s guidance on backup power and monitoring.

Key features

• Bilevel (BiPAP) therapy — separate inhale (IPAP) and exhale (EPAP) pressures.
• ST (Spontaneous/Timed) mode — with a backup respiratory rate.
• Backup rate — delivers a breath if none is initiated in time.
• For reduced ventilation / breathing drive — a clinician-prescribed therapy.
• Built-in HumidAir humidifier — warmth and moisture for comfort.
• ClimateLineAir compatible — heated tubing for rainout-free humidification.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What does “ST” mean?
Spontaneous/Timed. The device supports the patient’s own breaths (spontaneous) and, if a breath isn’t initiated within a set time, delivers one automatically (timed backup rate).

How is this different from CPAP or a plain BiPAP?
CPAP delivers one fixed pressure. A plain bilevel delivers two pressures. The ST adds a timed backup rate to ensure a minimum breathing rate — for people whose breathing drive needs that support.

Who is it for?
People with specific diagnosed conditions involving reduced ventilation or breathing drive (e.g. certain neuromuscular conditions, hypoventilation, some central apnea) — as determined by a physician.

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 set up and titrated by your physician for your specific diagnosis.

This is a prescription medical device. The AirCurve 10 ST is a bilevel device with a timed backup rate, prescribed for specific diagnosed conditions. It must be set up and titrated by a physician, and settings — including the backup rate — must not be changed except as prescribed. Follow the ResMed user guide and your physician’s instructions.
