1. AirMini tubing and ActiveAir technology
1.1. Can the silicone dislodge/fail, if it did, what could happen?
The silicone membrane is physically encased inside the vent housing and is held in place with
retainer components. It would require significant distortion to enable the membrane to dislodge. If
damaged, the tubing component should be replaced as a missing membrane would result in high
flows and increased noise from the vent.
1.2. Why do I feel like I am not getting enough air?
Ramp may be in progress. Using the AirMini app, confirm the Ramp function is enabled. If so, wait for
air pressure to build up or turn Ramp Time off.
HumidX or vent might be blocked. Inspect the HumidX and vent for blockages or damage. Refer to
Cleaning and maintenance for more information.
HumidX may be wet. The HumidX should be dry when starting therapy. Check if HumidX is wet and
replace as necessary.
If problem persists, please consult your care provider.
1.3. How often should the AirMini tube be cleaned?
The recommendation is to check and clean the AirMini tube every week by washing it in warm water
with mild liquid detergent, rinsing thoroughly and shaken dry. Check clean the mask connectors in a
similar manner as the AirMini tube.
Refer to the user guide for full cleaning instructions.

1.4. There is air expelling out of my tube. Is my tube leaking?
When the system is correctly assembled, airflow will be felt from the ActiveAir vents in either the Vent
Module (N20 connector, P10 for AirMini) or from the F20 connector elbow as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: N20 and P10 for AirMini (Left), F20 connector elbow (Right)
If this is not the location of the leak, it is possible that the tubing is not assembled (or connected)
correctly. Check correct tubing assembly in the user guide instructions.
1.5. Can I use my AirMini Tube or HumidX with AirSense 10 device?
The unique ActiveAir connector designed for the AirMini tube only works specifically with AirMini.
Therefore, ActiveAir technology and HumidX are not compatible with AirSense 10.

2. Humidification
2.1. Can I clean the HumidX?
No. The HumidX cannot be cleaned and should be replaced 30 days after opening the packaging.
2.2. How often does the HumidX need to be replaced?
The HUmidX needs to be replaced 30 days after its packaging is opened. If the HumidX was not used
every day during the 30-day period, it must still be replaced. The HumidX design life bases on the
date of opening the packaging not the number of days used during therapy, however it is important to
inspect the HumidX regularly.
2.3. What will happen if the HumidX is used well over 30 days?
ResMed does not recommend the HumidX to be used beyond 30 days. If the HumidX is used beyond
30 days this can cause deterioration in cleanliness, humidification performance and breathing comfort
which can affect safe and efficacious use of AirMini. Ensure the HumidX and other components of the
AirMini system are regularly maintained as per the user instructions.
2.4. Does the HumidX have a used by date/shelf life?
No, the HumidX does not have a used by date and can be stored indefinitely without any impact to
the safety or efficacy of therapy. Note however that if the packaging has been opened, damaged or
torn at the time of receipt, the HumidX should be discarded and replaced with a new one.
2.5. Can I still use the HumidX if I got it wet?
No, if the HumidX gets wet (saturated) it is recommended to discarded and replaced.
2.6. I am not getting adequate humidification. What should I do?
The HumidX performance declines with leak events and therefore is more suited to low leak users
(around half of the active humidification population). In order to maximise humidification, we
recommend first trying to minimise leak.
If the HumidX is still not providing the desired level of humidification try swapping between the
HumidX & HumidX Plus to see if this improves comfort levels.
If neither of these options help, waterless humidification may not be suitable for your humidification
needs. Please speak to your healthcare provider about trying active humidification on an AirSense
device.
2.7. Why is there no humidification for full face masks?
Using the current HumidX technology we are unable to develop a Heat and Moisture Exchanger for
full faced masks that can deliver the desired level of humidification performance. ResMed is currently
researching next generation humidification technology that we hope will allow us to develop a Heat
and Moisture Exchanger for full faced masks with the desired humidification performance in the
future.

3. Flow generator
3.1. Why is there no user interface?
The design of AirMini is to support both simplicity and a richer experience depending on your
preference. To support this, we designed AirMini with a simple one-button interaction for simplicity
and an accompanying app to unlock a richer, more engaging therapy experience.
3.2. The machine seems quite warm when powered on. Is this normal?
Due it’s the reduced size, the AirMini machine may get warm when running under normal
circumstances. These temperatures are not a safety risk, and the inbuilt thermal cut-off will prevent
damage to the device should it get too hot during operation.*
* Testing reported in eLB0817-165 AirMini Thermal Challenge Test Results, ref 3.6, shows that in
normal use – even at more demanding settings – temperatures in the blower do not go much above
40°C. Does not give rise to any hazard or cause any reduction in life-expectancy for the blower.
3.3. Will I be at risk if I fall asleep and accidentally cover the air intake?
AirMini is designed to mitigate this kind of risk, however it is important to ensure that the vent is not
blocked or covered as this can cause the device to overheat. Due to this, we do not recommend
placing the AirMini machine in the bed, or under a pillow, sheet or blanket. If the device does get too
warm the inbuilt thermal cut-off will turn off the device, preventing risk of harm to you or damage to
the device.
There is a mount system available if you do not want to place the device on a bedside table.
3.4. I am worried that the AirMini machine fall off the bedside table
in the night. What should I do?
AirMini is designed to grip onto the surface of the bedside table. In addition, the AirMini mount system
is available and has been designed to secure the machine in various bedside locations.
3.5. Will the white AirMini machine become dirty quite quickly?
Over time markings on the white device may become more noticeable, however this can be easily
cleaned with a dry cloth as per the user guide.
3.6. What type of drop testing was performed with AirMini?
At what height is it OK to drop it from? ResMed does not recommend intentionally dropping the
AirMini machine. However, the testing conducted was equivalent to that done on AirSense 10,
showing that AirMini remains safe if dropped from a height of 1m or subjected to a weight of 100kg.
3.7. What is the operating temperature range for the AirMini machine?
AirMini’s optimal performance temperature range is between 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
The operating temperature range is similar to that of the AirSense 10 machine. Optimal performance
of the AirMini machine’s performance cannot be guaranteed if operated outside the recommended
temperature range.

3.8. What’s the max altitude for the machine?
The AirMini machine has been tested to ensure normal operation at in altitudes between sea level to
8500’ (2591m).
3.9. If I use the AirMini in other countries,
will the power supply unit automatically convert?
Yes, the design of the AirMini machine accepts an AC input range of 100-240V and a DC output of
24V. However, purchasing the correct AirMini power supply unit for the country you are visiting is
recommended to ensure correct performance of your AirMini machine. Contact your care provider for
more information.
3.10. My CPAP machine displayed an error message. What should I do?
Please contact your homecare provider if you are having any issues with your AirMini machine.
3.11. How often does the filter need to be replaced?
The air filter should be replaced every 6 months and cannot be washed. Check the air filter regularly
and replace if there is any visible damage, blockages, dirt or dust.
