ResMed AirCurve 11 VAuto with HumidAir 11

Quick answer: The ResMed AirCurve 11 VAuto is the next-generation auto-adjusting bilevel (BiPAP) device, built on the newer Air11 platform, with a built-in HumidAir 11 humidifier (part 39018). VAuto delivers two pressures (higher on inhale, lower on exhale) and automatically adjusts them through the night — which many people find more comfortable than CPAP, particularly those who struggle to exhale against a single fixed pressure. This is the version with HumidAir 11 (the ClimateLineAir 11 heated tube is a separate bundle). A prescription device, set up by your physician.

• 1 × HumidAir 11 heated humidifier (built in)
• 1 × HumidAir 11 water tub
• 1 × power supply

Tubing and mask — confirm inclusion against packaging. Prescription required.

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). That difference makes exhaling much easier than breathing out against a single fixed CPAP pressure, a common reason people find bilevel more comfortable.

The “VAuto” means it auto-adjusts: rather than fixed pressures, it responds to your breathing through the night, raising and lowering support as needed while maintaining the comfortable inhale/exhale difference. It’s often prescribed for people who have obstructive sleep apnea but don’t tolerate CPAP well — for example those who need higher pressures, or who find exhaling against CPAP difficult.

The AirCurve 11 VAuto brings this to ResMed’s newer Air11 platform — the generation that also includes the AirSense 11 CPAP — with its updated interface and the HumidAir 11 humidifier. Among the AirCurve 11 range, the VAuto is the comfort-focused, auto-adjusting model for obstructive sleep apnea — distinct from the clinical ST, ST-A (iVAPS/NIV), and ASV models. It’s a prescription device set up by your physician.

Because it’s an Air11-generation device, it uses Air11-specific consumables — HumidAir 11 tub, Air11 filters, ClimateLineAir 11 tubing — which are not interchangeable with Air10 parts.

• Prescription device — settings set by your physician.

Specifications

AirCurve 11 range — which model?

All are bilevel, but for different needs:

• VAuto (this) — auto-adjusting bilevel for obstructive sleep apnea, comfort-focused; the everyday bilevel.
• ST — adds a backup respiratory rate (for reduced breathing drive).
• ST-A — adds iVAPS volume-assured support (NIV for significant hypoventilation).
• ASV — adaptive servo-ventilation (for central/mixed/periodic breathing).

Your physician prescribes the model that matches your diagnosis. Contact us at (646) 933-0080 if you’re unsure which you’ve been prescribed.

Frequently asked questions

What does “VAuto” mean?
It’s an auto-adjusting bilevel: two pressures (inhale/exhale) that automatically adapt through the night, rather than staying fixed.

How is it different from CPAP?
CPAP delivers one fixed pressure; the VAuto delivers a higher inhale and lower exhale pressure and auto-adjusts them — making exhalation easier, which many find more comfortable.

How is it different from the AirCurve 10 VAuto?
Same auto-bilevel therapy on ResMed’s newer Air11 platform, with the updated interface and the HumidAir 11 humidifier. It uses Air11-specific consumables.

Will my Air10 tub, filters, or ClimateLineAir fit?
No — this is an Air11-generation device and uses Air11-specific consumables, not interchangeable with Air10 parts.

Does it include heated tubing?
This version includes the HumidAir 11 humidifier; the ClimateLineAir 11 heated tube is typically a separate bundle. Confirm the exact contents against packaging.

Do I need a prescription?
Yes — a prescription is required, and the device is set up by your physician.
