See your full AirCurve 10 therapy data
CPAP Clarity reads the EDF files from your AirCurve 10 SD card and shows you everything myAir leaves out: pressure trends, leak trends, obstructive vs central apnea breakdown, breath timing, flow limitation, and your actual machine settings, including minimum EPAP, maximum IPAP, and pressure support.
What CPAP Clarity shows you
The AirCurve 10 tells obstructive and central apneas apart and scores hypopneas separately, so you see exactly what kind of events occurred each night, not just the combined AHI number myAir shows.
Watch your therapy pressure move through the night. On the VAuto, ResMed's AutoSet algorithm adjusts the baseline in response to flow limitation, snoring, and obstructive apneas while your pressure support stays fixed.
Track your mask seal over time. Median leak shows typical performance; the 95th percentile catches the bursts that disrupt therapy.
The AirCurve 10 records your inspiratory time and inhale-to-exhale ratio, bilevel channels a CPAP machine does not carry. CPAP Clarity charts both so you can see your breathing pattern through the night.
Flow limitation is one of the main signals the VAuto responds to. CPAP Clarity charts the flow limitation index so you can see the partial obstructions that drove pressure changes.
Your breathing rate, tidal volume, and minute ventilation over the night. These metrics help you and your provider understand ventilation patterns.
Your AirCurve 10 records its therapy mode, pressure settings, pressure support, mask type, and humidity settings. CPAP Clarity reads these directly from the SD card.
Nightly usage hours, 30-day compliance rate against the Medicare 70% threshold, consistency scoring, and weekend vs weekday patterns.
How to import your data
Remove the SD card
Power the machine off. The SD card sits behind a small cover on the left side of your AirCurve 10, the end opposite the humidifier water tub, when you face the screen. Lift the cover and take the card out. Any standard full-size SD card reader works.
Insert into your computer
Plug the SD card into a USB card reader connected to your computer. You should see a drive named DATALOG or similar appear.
Drop the folder on CPAP Clarity
Open CPAP Clarity, go to the import page, and drag the entire SD card folder onto the drop zone. CPAP Clarity reads everything automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CPAP Clarity work with my AirCurve 10?
Yes. The AirCurve 10 shares its SD card format with the rest of ResMed's Air10 family, and CPAP Clarity reads it through the same pipeline, cross-checked against OSCAR on real AirCurve 10 VAuto data. Our validation is on the VAuto. The S, ST, and ASV siblings use the same Air10 card layout, but we have not validated their data ourselves, and ASV firmware in this family can behave differently (the AirCurve 11 ASV, for example, logs apneas without the obstructive vs central split). If anything on your card reads oddly, tell us through the feedback page.
What is VAuto mode, exactly?
VAuto is ResMed's auto-adjusting bilevel mode. The machine delivers a lower pressure while you exhale (EPAP) and a higher one while you inhale (IPAP). ResMed's AutoSet algorithm adjusts the baseline pressure in response to flow limitation, snoring, and obstructive apneas, while the gap between the two pressures (pressure support, up to 10 cmH2O) stays fixed. Your clinician sets the minimum EPAP, the maximum IPAP, and the pressure support.
What is pressure support, and how is it different from EPR?
Pressure support is the fixed difference between your inhale pressure (IPAP) and exhale pressure (EPAP); on the AirCurve 10 VAuto it can be set up to 10 cmH2O and stays the same all night. EPR on the AirSense machines looks similar but is a comfort feature capped at 3 cmH2O. On a bilevel machine the pressure gap is part of the therapy itself, which is why pressure support is a prescribed clinician setting rather than a comfort option.
How is the AirCurve 10 different from the AirCurve 11?
The AirCurve 11 launched in February 2024 on ResMed's newer Air11 platform: a touchscreen, Bluetooth pairing with a myAir app that now supports bilevel patients, Care Check-In, and over-the-air updates. The AirCurve 10 has a color screen with a control dial and built-in cellular. Both record equally detailed therapy data to the SD card, and CPAP Clarity reads both. One practical note: the US AirCurve 11 lineup is VAuto and ASV only, so S and ST users remain on the AirCurve 10.
What does the AirCurve 10 record on the SD card?
Detailed therapy data, automatically, every night. The EDF files on the card carry a high-resolution flow and pressure waveform (sampled 25 times per second), plus channels for leak, respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute ventilation, flow limitation, inspiratory time, and I:E ratio, and per-event annotations that distinguish obstructive from central apneas. Two honest limits we observed in our validated AirCurve 10 data: the bilevel firmware does not score RERAs and does not log Cheyne-Stokes respiration episodes the way the AirSense machines do.
Does the AirCurve 10 work with myAir?
Yes. ResMed states that all AirCurve 10 machines with built-in wireless work with myAir where a supported network is available; the device has cellular built in. myAir shows a daily summary score; the detailed therapy data lives on the SD card, which is what CPAP Clarity reads.
Do I need the SD card, or can I import from the cloud?
You need the SD card. The myAir cloud only syncs a basic summary; it does not expose the detailed EDF files that contain your full therapy data. The card sits behind a small cover on the left side of the machine, the end opposite the humidifier water tub, when you face the screen. Lift the cover, take the card out, and drop the folder onto CPAP Clarity.
Is my data safe?
All processing happens in your browser. Your CPAP data never leaves your computer and is never uploaded to any server. CPAP Clarity stores your data in your browser's local storage so you can return to it later without re-importing.
