ResMed AirStart 10 (summary data)

See your AirStart 10 nightly data

The AirStart 10 saves a daily summary to its SD card, not the breath-by-breath waveforms the AirSense records. So you get your nightly AHI, pressure, leak, and usage, one set of figures per night. CPAP Clarity reads that summary, shows it honestly, and tracks it over time, when most tools cannot read this machine at all.

Import your AirStart 10 data

What CPAP Clarity shows you

Nightly AHI
Events / hour

Your apnea hypopnea index for each night, the device's own daily figure, with the standard severity context. This is the same AHI a ResMed report shows.

Pressure
Median / P95 / Max

The therapy pressure your machine actually delivered, shown as a typical value, a 95th percentile, and a peak. On an auto machine these move night to night as your airway needs change.

Leak
95th percentile

How much air escaped around your mask, reported at the 95th percentile, the exact figure ResMed itself reports for this machine. A consistently high value points to a mask refit.

Usage
Hours / Compliance

Nightly usage hours feed the same therapy score, trends, and 30-day compliance view as any other ResMed machine, plus the therapy report PDF you can hand a clinician.

Machine Settings
Mode, Range, EPR

Your therapy mode, pressure range, ramp, and EPR comfort level, read straight from the SD card so you can confirm what your machine is set to do.

Night-to-Night Trends
History

Every night you import is tracked over time, so you can see whether your AHI, pressure, leak, and usage are steady or drifting, which is where a daily summary is most useful.

What you will not see is a breath-by-breath flow chart or a per-event breakdown. The AirStart 10 does not record those, so CPAP Clarity does not pretend to. It shows everything the machine actually saves.

How to import your data

1

Remove the SD card

Power the machine off. The SD card sits in a slot on the side of your AirStart 10. Take it out. Any standard full-size SD card reader works.

2

Insert into your computer

Plug the SD card into a card reader connected to your computer or phone. A drive should appear with your therapy data on it.

3

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. Select the whole folder, not a single file, so your summary and settings both come through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CPAP Clarity work with my AirStart 10?

Yes. CPAP Clarity reads the daily summary the AirStart 10 writes to its SD card and shows your nightly AHI, pressure, leak, and usage. Most tools, including the free OSCAR software, cannot read this machine at all, because it does not write the detailed waveform files they expect. CPAP Clarity reads the summary directly.

Can I see my AHI from an AirStart 10?

Yes. Your nightly AHI is one of the daily figures the machine calculates and saves to the card, and CPAP Clarity shows it for every night you used the machine, alongside your pressure, leak, and usage.

Why are there no detailed breath-by-breath charts?

Because the AirStart 10 does not record them. Unlike the AirSense, which stores a second-by-second flow and pressure trace, the AirStart 10 saves only a daily summary to keep things simple and inexpensive. So there is no flow chart to scroll through and no per-event breakdown. CPAP Clarity shows everything the card holds and says so plainly, rather than drawing empty charts that imply data the machine never recorded.

Why did my AirStart 10 card show nothing in other apps?

Most analysis apps only know how to read the detailed waveform files that machines like the AirSense write, and the AirStart 10 does not write those. It writes a daily summary instead. That is why the card looked empty elsewhere. CPAP Clarity reads the summary, so your nightly numbers finally show up.

Does the AirStart 10 have an SD card?

Yes. The card sits in a slot on the side of the machine and holds your daily summary and settings. Power the machine off, take the card out, and drop the whole folder onto CPAP Clarity.

Is my AirStart 10 data private?

Yes. All reading and analysis of your card happens in your browser, on your own device. Your therapy data is never uploaded to any server, and CPAP Clarity keeps it in your browser's local storage so you can return without re-importing.
