ResMed AirSense 11 Setup Guide — Everything You Need to Know to Get Started


(Don’t worry — it’s easier than assembling a flat-pack bookshelf 😄)

So, your brand-new ResMed AirSense 11 just arrived. It’s shiny, sleek, and smarter than most alarm clocks. But now what?Let’s walk you through the setup step by step — no tech degree required.


🧩 Step 1: Unbox Your New Sleep Buddy

Inside the box, you’ll find:

✅ AirSense 11 device

✅ Power supply unit (PSU)

✅ Tubing

✅ HumidAir water tub

✅ Filter (already fitted!)

✅ Your CPAP mask of choice


Pro tip: Keep the box and manual — you’ll thank yourself later if you ever travel or need to store it.


💧 Step 2: Add Water to the Humidifier

The AirSense 11’s HumidAir tub is your best friend if you wake up with a dry nose or throat.

  1. Pull the water tub gently from the side of the device.

  2. Fill it with distilled water only (no tap water — think of it like feeding your CPAP bottled water 🫶).

  3. Slide it back in until it clicks.

💡 Tip: Empty and refill it daily to keep bacteria at bay.


🌬 Step 3: Connect the Tubing and Mask

Attach one end of your CPAP tubing to the back of the AirSense 11, and the other end to your mask.That’s it!No confusing valves or hidden connectors.

If you’re using heated tubing, you’ll notice a special port that locks in automatically. Fancy, right?


⚙️ Step 4: Power It Up and Follow the On-Screen Setup

Plug in your power supply — the AirSense 11 touchscreen will light up like a mini tablet.The startup wizard walks you through:

  • Language selection 🌍

  • Date and time ⏰

  • Mask type (Nasal, Pillow, or Full-Face) 😴

  • Tube type (Standard or ClimateLineAir)

Once you’ve entered your details, your CPAP is officially ready for therapy. 🎉


📲 Step 5: Connect to the MyAir App (Your Sleep Coach in Your Pocket)

Download ResMed MyAir (available on Android & iOS).You’ll get:

  • Daily sleep score

  • Coaching tips

  • Mask seal feedback

  • Friendly reminders

The app syncs automatically via cloud — no SD cards or cables needed.You’ll wake up to a mini sleep report every morning. 📈


🔁 Step 6: Try “Test Drive” Mode

Before your first real night, try the Mask Fit Test on the touchscreen.It runs airflow briefly so you can check for leaks and adjust your mask.If you feel air escaping near your eyes or cheeks — tighten gently until the leak indicator turns green.


🌙 Step 7: Press Start — And Breathe

Now for the best part.Simply put on your mask and take a deep breath.Thanks to SmartStart, your therapy begins automatically — no need to press a thing.When you remove the mask, SmartStop turns it off.It’s literally that easy.


🧼 Bonus: Cleaning and Care (Because Fresh Is Best)

Every morning:

  • Empty your humidifier tub.

  • Hang your tubing to air-dry.

  • Wipe your mask cushion with mild soap and water.

Once a week:

  • Wash the water tub and tubing in warm, soapy water.

  • Rinse and air-dry fully before the next use.

Replace filters monthly and mask parts as needed. (Find replacements right here at CPAP Equip )
