ResMed AirMini Data: AHI & Usage

The ResMed AirMini is the most popular travel CPAP in the world, and it is also the one that frustrates data-minded users the most. If you have tried to open your AirMini nights in CPAP Clarity or any other analysis app and come up empty, you are not doing anything wrong. The AirMini simply does not store its data the way other machines do.

Here is the honest picture: what the AirMini app shows you, what it exports, what CPAP Clarity can do with that export, and the realistic ways to see more.

The short answer

The AirMini has no SD card. On a ResMed AirSense or AirCurve, the machine writes a detailed record of every night to a memory card, and that card is what an analysis app like CPAP Clarity reads. The AirMini skips the card entirely. It sends a summary to the AirMini app over Bluetooth and uploads the rest to ResMed online.

You can see a nightly summary in the app, including your AHI. What the app does not produce is a detailed export of your AHI, leak, or pressure waveforms. However, the AirMini app's "feedback" button does produce a real exportable file, and that file carries your night-by-night usage: when you used the device and for how long. CPAP Clarity can now import that file to keep a complete travel usage and compliance record.

What the AirMini app shows you

Connect the AirMini to your phone over Bluetooth and the app gives you a therapy score out of 100 for each night. According to ResMed, that score is built from four things:

• Hours used (by far the largest share of the score)
• Mask seal, a measure of how much air leaked around your mask
• Events per hour, which is your AHI
• Mask on and off, how many times you took the mask on or off during the night

That third item is the one people care about most. ResMed describes "events per hour" as the number of apneas and hypopneas you have each hour, "also known as the apnea-hypopnea index (or AHI)." In plain terms, an apnea is a pause in your breathing and a hypopnea is a partial one. So you can see your AHI on an AirMini. It is right there in the app, alongside your hours and your seal.

Your most recent night sits on the app's home screen, and you can scroll back through previous nights. That summary is genuinely useful for tracking how consistent your nights are over time, and it is worth bringing to your sleep doctor. If you want help making sense of those numbers, our guide on how to read your CPAP data walks through what AHI, leak, and pressure actually mean.

What the AirMini feedback export contains (and what it does not)

The AirMini app includes a "feedback" option that produces an export file you can save and share. That file carries your night-by-night usage: session dates and hours used per night. That is the information a doctor or insurer looks at for adherence, and it is exactly what CPAP Clarity can now import.

What the feedback export does NOT contain: your AHI, your leak rate, or your pressure detail. Those computed numbers are shown to you on the app's screen, but they are not written into the exportable file. The detailed therapy waveforms and per-event data go to ResMed's servers, not to a file you can pull out and analyze locally.

So the honest summary is: the feedback export is real and useful for compliance and usage tracking. It is not a substitute for the full data record you would get from a machine with an SD card.

What you cannot get from an AirMini

The app gives you the summary. It does not give you the detail underneath it.

On a machine with an SD card, you can see a graph of your pressure across the whole night, a leak-rate trend, a timeline of exactly when each event happened, and flow-limitation detail that hints at airway narrowing before a full event. None of that is available from an AirMini, because none of it is written to a card you can pull out and read. The detailed record goes straight to ResMed's servers, and the app only hands back the nightly summary.

That is the trade you make for a machine that fits in a jacket pocket. The AirMini is built for travel and simplicity, not for deep data.

What CPAP Clarity can do with your AirMini data

CPAP Clarity can now import the AirMini app's feedback export. Once imported, your travel nights appear in your history with the correct session dates and hours, giving you a complete usage and compliance record across both your home machine and your travel machine.

That record is exactly what matters for insurance adherence checks: nights used and hours per night. The import does not add AHI, leak, or pressure to those nights, because that data is not in the export file. For the detailed therapy numbers you still need to ask your clinic, which can pull a full report from ResMed's professional system.

To export from the AirMini app: open the app, go to the menu, and look for the "feedback" or "send feedback" option. Save the file it produces and import it into CPAP Clarity from the data page.

How to see more from your AirMini nights

You are not completely stuck. There are three realistic paths.

Ask your supplier or sleep doctor for a report. Your equipment provider and your sleep clinic can pull a full therapy report from ResMed's professional system, with your AHI, leak, pressure, and usage laid out night by night. If you want the detailed numbers, this is the most direct way to get them. Our guide on getting your CPAP data to your doctor covers what to ask for and how to use it in the appointment.

Add a pulse oximeter for the one thing the AirMini never measures: your oxygen. The AirMini does not track blood oxygen at all, so a small overnight recorder like the Wellue O2Ring (opens in new tab) fills the biggest gap in its data. It clips on your finger, records your oxygen and pulse all night, and you can analyze that data free at CPAP Clarity with no account and no upload to anyone's server. Pairing an oximeter with your AirMini score gives you a much fuller view of your nights. Our pulse oximeter guide explains what the readings mean.

Consider a machine with a card slot if detail matters to you. If reading your own breath-by-breath data is important, a CPAP that writes to an SD card gives you the full picture the AirMini cannot. That includes ResMed's home machines and several travel models that kept a card slot. Our travel CPAP comparison lays out which small machines still let you read your own data.

If you are still shopping for a travel CPAP, the AirMini is available at CPAP.com.

Keep your record complete when you travel

Plenty of people use a card-based machine at home and grab the AirMini only for trips. If that is you, you now have two ways to keep those travel nights in your history.

First, you can import the AirMini app's feedback export as described above. That pulls your actual session dates and hours into CPAP Clarity.

Second, if you do not have the export file handy, CPAP Clarity also lets you mark a travel night manually. In CPAP Clarity, once you have imported at least one night from your main machine, you can go to your history page and mark any travel night as a night you used CPAP without data. Those nights then stay in your CPAP Clarity history and count toward your usage consistency, so a trip does not leave a false gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can any app read my AirMini data?

It depends on which data you mean. The AirMini app's "feedback" export is a real file that carries your night-by-night usage (session dates and hours), and CPAP Clarity can import it. What no app can produce from the AirMini is your AHI, leak, or pressure waveforms, because those are not written to any local file you can export. For the detailed therapy numbers, your clinic can pull a full report from ResMed's professional system.

Can I see my AHI on an AirMini?

Yes. The AirMini app shows "events per hour," which ResMed defines as your apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), along with your hours of use, mask seal, and a nightly score out of 100.

Can CPAP Clarity read AirMini data?

Yes, for your usage record. CPAP Clarity can now import the AirMini app's feedback export, which carries your night-by-night session dates and hours. That gives you a complete compliance and adherence record. The feedback export does not contain AHI, leak, or pressure detail, so CPAP Clarity cannot show those numbers for AirMini nights. For the therapy detail, ask your clinic. You can also use CPAP Clarity for a pulse oximeter or sleep wearable you use alongside your AirMini.

How do I get a detailed report from my AirMini?

Ask your equipment supplier or sleep doctor. They can print a full therapy report from ResMed's professional software, which includes the detail the patient app leaves out.

Does the AirMini have an SD card?

No. It connects to your phone over Bluetooth and uploads to ResMed online. There is no card slot, which is why the detailed waveform analysis that analysis apps like CPAP Clarity do for SD-card machines is not available for AirMini nights. Usage and compliance data is available via the app's feedback export.

The bottom line

The AirMini gives you a clean nightly summary and your AHI in the app. The AirMini app's feedback export is a real file you can save and import into CPAP Clarity, and it carries your usage record: session dates and hours per night. That is the data that matters for compliance tracking. What it does not give you is the detailed AHI, leak, and pressure export that an SD-card machine produces. If you want that level of detail, your clinic can hand you a full report, and a pulse oximeter can add the oxygen picture your AirMini was never designed to capture. If you have ResMed's other entry level machine, our ResMed AirStart 10 data guide covers what its card holds.
