ResMed AirStart 10 Auto CPAP with Humidifier
If you’ve just been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and your doctor has recommended CPAP therapy, the ResMed AirStart 10 is where most Indian patients start. It’s ResMed’s entry-level Auto CPAP (APAP) device, built on the same trusted AirSense 10 technology platform, and it carries the full weight of ResMed’s clinical reputation — proven APAP algorithms, quiet motor engineering, and a built-in HumidAir heated humidifier included in the box at no extra cost.
What makes the AirStart 10 the right starting point for most Indian buyers is its philosophy: plug it in, press Start, and breathe. There are no complex menus, no app, and no Wi-Fi setup — the device adjusts pressure automatically while you sleep, and the built-in heated humidification keeps the airflow comfortable enough that you’ll actually want to use it every night.

Built-in HumidAir Heated Humidifier
Standard, not an add-on — ready from day one.
- Reduces dry mouth, nasal congestion, and mask leaks

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ResMed AirStart 10 used for?
It’s an Auto CPAP (APAP) machine used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It delivers pressurized air through a mask to keep your upper airway open during sleep, preventing breathing interruptions. It’s designed for home use and is ResMed’s most affordable entry-level CPAP device in India.
Does it come with a humidifier?
Yes. Every ResMed AirStart 10 includes a built-in HumidAir heated humidifier — integrated into the device and included in the box at no extra cost. You don’t need to buy a separate humidifier.
What type of water should I use in the humidifier?
Use distilled water or RO-purified water only. Tap water causes mineral deposits that damage the chamber over time. Fill to the max fill line — don’t overfill.
Is it compatible with any CPAP mask?
Yes. The AirStart 10 uses a standard tubing setup with a universal 22mm mask-end connector, making it compatible with virtually any CPAP mask — full face masks, nasal masks, or nasal pillow masks — from ResMed, Philips, BMC, and other standard-compatibility brands. Note that it takes non-heated tubing only; the heated ClimateLineAir tubing used on the AirSense 10/11 isn’t compatible.
Does it have Wi-Fi or an app?
No. The AirStart 10 has no Wi-Fi, 4G, or Bluetooth, and there’s no smartphone app. Therapy data is stored on the pre-installed SD card and reviewed by your doctor at follow-up visits. If cloud data tracking matters to you, look at the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet instead.
Is a prescription required to buy this in India?
Yes. The AirStart 10 is a prescription medical device. A valid prescription from a licensed physician (pulmonologist, ENT, or sleep specialist) specifying your therapy pressure range is required before we can dispense it. Contact us via our contact page if you need help with this.
Does it work during power cuts?
The AirStart 10 needs mains power and has no internal battery, but it automatically restarts therapy the moment power is restored — no manual action needed. For extended outages, compatible external CPAP battery packs are available separately.
Is it FAA-approved for air travel?
Yes, it’s FAA-approved for in-flight use and light enough (around 1.1 kg) to carry on. That said, if you travel frequently, the dedicated ResMed AirMini is a more compact option built specifically for travel.
What’s the warranty on the ResMed AirStart 10?
2 years from authorised ResMed dealers in India, including BYM. Browse the full range of CPAP machines we carry if you’re comparing options.
