Security
Built-in AirMini and AirMini app security features, steps patients take to protect their smart devices
against malware, and software and firmware updates will help safeguard patient privacy, protect
patients' smart devices and ensure optimal performance.
Security features
The AirMini and the AirMini app use security features to help protect patient privacy and prevent
unauthorised access to patient data. These include:
•Use of a quick response (QR) code to establish trust between the AirMini and the AirMini app
•Unique keys for each mobile device and AirMini pairing
•Application-level encryption for the transmission of data, in addition to Bluetooth®security
•Encryption of data stored within the AirMini app
•Server-side authentication for AirMini firmware upgrades
Protecting patients' smart devices against malware helps keep their personal information and sleep
data safe and secure. ResMed recommends the following:
•Advise patients to enable personal identification number (PIN) or fingerprint security on their
smart devices. Refer patients to their smart device user instructions for information on enabling
either feature.
•Advise patients to avoid unsafe modification of their smart device operating systems.
•Advise patients to consider enabling remote data wipe on their smart devices by referring them
to their smart device user instructions. Remote data wipe is a function available on smart devices
for remotely erasing personal data in the event that a device is lost or stolen.
•Advise patients to keep their operating systems up to date with security patches.

4
Software and firmware updates
To ensure optimal performance, ResMed recommends that software and firmware versions be kept
up to date.
Once a firmware update becomes available for AirMini, a message will appear on the user's smart
device when the AirMini app is accessed. If an AirMini app software update is required, a message
will indicate that a software update is needed.
Advise patients to follow the on-screen prompts to install software and firmware updates.
Indications for use
AirMini
The AirMini self-adjusting machine is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
in patients weighing more than 30 kg.

compatibility information, refer to www.resmed.com for more information.
The AirMini machine is also designed to work with ResMed’s AirMini app. While the AirMini app is
not required to operate the machine, it is essential to clinicians for accessing, viewing and
configuring therapy settings.
AirMini app system requirements
Refer to ResMed.com/AirMiniApp for a list of smart devices compatible with the AirMini app.
In addition, iOS operating system version 9.3.5 (minimum) is required.
See Using clinical mode, Using the device settings menu and AirMini app Dashboard for information
about the AirMini app.

Therapy information
AutoSet mode
The treatment pressure required by the patient may vary due to changes in sleep state, body
position and airway resistance. In AutoSet™ mode, the machine provides only that amount of
pressure required to maintain upper airway patency.
The machine analyses the state of the patient’s upper airway on a breath-by-breath basis and
delivers pressure within the allowed range according to the degree of obstruction. The AutoSet
algorithm adjusts treatment pressure as a function of three parameters: inspiratory flow limitation,
snore, and apnoea.
Normal airway
When the patient is breathing normally, the inspiratory flow measured by the machine as a function
of time shows a typically rounded curve for each breath.
Flow limitation
As the upper airway begins to collapse, the shape of the inspiratory flow-time curve changes. The
AirMini recognises and treats traditional as well as less common flow-limited breath wave forms.
Snore
Snoring is sound generated by vibrations of the walls of the upper airway. It is often preceded by
flow limitation or a partial obstruction of the airway.

English 7
Apnoea
The enhanced AutoSet algorithm detects both obstructive and central apnoeas. If an apnoea occurs,
the machine responds appropriately.
Obstructive apnoea
An obstructive apnoea is when the upper airway becomes severely limited or completely obstructed.
AutoSet generally prevents obstructive apnoeas from occurring by responding to flow limitation and
snoring. If an obstructive apnoea occurs, the machine will respond by increasing pressure.
Central apnoea
During a central apnoea, the airway will remain open, but there is no flow. When a central apnoea is
detected, the machine responds appropriately by not increasing pressure.
AutoSet for Her mode
AutoSet for Her mode is based on key aspects of ResMed’s AutoSet algorithm and delivers
therapeutic responses tailored to the characteristics of female OSA patients.
The AutoSet for Her is similar to ResMed’s AutoSet algorithm with the following modifications:
•Reduced rate of pressure increments designed to help prevent arousals.
•Slower pressure decays.
•Treats apnoeas up to 12 cm H2O (12 hPa) and continues to respond to flow limitation and snore
up to 20 cm H2O (20 hPa).
•Minimum pressure (Min. Pressure) that adjusts according to the frequency of apnoeas:

8
If two apnoeas occur within a minute, the pressure reached in response to the second apnoea
will become the new minimum treatment pressure until the next treatment session.
Patients who use AutoSet for Her will still get the benefits of ResMed's AutoSet technology
including improved sensitivity to flow-limitation and Central Sleep Apnoea Detection with Forced
Oscillation Technique.
CPAP mode
In CPAP mode, a fixed pressure is delivered—with optional Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR™).
Comfort features
Ramp Time
Designed to make the beginning of treatment more comfortable, Ramp Time is the period during
which the pressure increases from a low start pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure. Ramp
Time is available in all modes.
In AutoSet and AutoSet for Her mode, ramp time defines the period during which the pressure
gradually increases from a lower more comfortable start pressure to the minimum treatment
pressure before the auto-adjusting algorithm commences.
In CPAP mode, the pressure increases from a low pressure (Start Pressure) to the prescribed
treatment pressure.

English 9
Ramp Time can be set to Off, 5 to 45 minutes or Auto. When Ramp Time is set to Auto, the
machine will detect sleep onset and then gradually increase from the start pressure to the minimum
treatment pressure at a rate of 1 cm H2O (1 hPa) per minute. However, if sleep onset is not
detected, the machine will reach the target pressure within 30 minutes.
Expiratory Pressure Relief
Designed to make therapy more comfortable, Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR) maintains optimal
treatment for the patient during inhalation and reduces the delivered mask pressure during
exhalation.
EPR
On—EPR is enabled.
Off—EPR is disabled and not visible in Patient Mode.
The following settings are only available if EPR is On:
EPR Type
Full Time—If set to Full Time, EPR is enabled for the whole therapy session.
Ramp Only—If set to Ramp Only, EPR is only enabled during ramp time.
EPR Level
1, 2, 3 cm H
2
O (1, 2, 3 hPa)
When EPR is enabled, the delivered pressure will not drop below a minimum pressure of 4 cm H2O
(4 hPa), regardless of the settings.
AutoSet Response
For patients who are sensitive to faster changes in pressure during therapy, AutoSet Response can
be set to either Standard or Soft. If set to soft, patients will receive gentler pressure rises during
therapy.
Patients who use the AutoSet Response feature will still get the benefits of ResMed's AutoSet
technology including improved sensitivity to flow-limitation and CSA Detection with Forced
Oscillation Technique.
SmartStart
When SmartStart™ is turned on, therapy starts automatically when the patient breathes into their
mask.
SmartStop
When SmartStop is turned on, once the patient removes their mask, therapy stops automatically
after a few seconds.
HumidX and HumidX Plus
The HumidX and HumidX Plus are waterless humidifiers. They are designed to provide more
comfort by improving the moisture level in the air the patient breathes and offering relief from
possible dryness.
The HumidX is a good starting point for finding the right level of humidification. The HumidX Plus
will improve the humidity level further. It is useful when the ambient humidity level is very low. For
example, at high altitudes or on an aircraft.
The HumidX and HumidX Plus can be used with the N20 connector for AirMini and AirFit P10 for
AirMini only.
Note: The HumidX and HumidX Plus must be replaced within 30 days of opening the
HumidX/HumidX Plus pack.

10

Viewing therapy data
The Dashboard provides a snapshot of the patient’s therapy data including myAir score, usage hours,
mask seal, events per hour, mask on/off events and air pressure.
The myAir score provides patients a total score for the previous night of sleep by analysing four key
categories:
•usage hours
•mask seal
•events per hour
•mask on/off events.
The usage hours score is based on the number of hours of therapy the patient received during the
previous night. The mask seal score helps patients to assess how well their mask seals and to
identify possible air leaks. Patients are advised to refit their mask if the mask seal score is low. The
events per hour score is derived from the average of the events (apnoeas and hypopnoeas) per hour
experienced during the patient's therapy period. The mask on/off events score is based on the
number of times the patient removed their mask during the previous night of therapy. The fewer
times the mask is removed during the night, the higher the score.
The Dashboard also displays a pressure reading to provide the patient an indication of how much air
pressure was required to effectively treat the patient's sleep disordered breathing during the
previous night of therapy. The value of the pressure reading is equal to or less than the highest

English 17
pressure level of the air delivered to the patient by the AirMini app during 95 percent of the patient's
therapy.
To access the Dashboard, tap the Dashboard icon in the Navigation tab.

Cleaning and maintenance
It is important that the AirMini machine is cleaned regularly to ensure optimal therapy. The following
sections will help with disassembling, cleaning and replacing parts.
WARNING
•As part of good hygiene, always follow cleaning instructions. Some cleaning products may
damage the air tubing and affect its function, or leave harmful residual vapours that could
be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.
•The AirMini connectors and AirFit P10 for AirMini contain a vent system to prevent carbon
dioxide build-up in the mask. The vent system must be kept clean and clear of
contamination in order to function correctly. Blocking or modifying the vent system may
result in excessive carbon dioxide rebreathing.
•Regularly clean your AirMini tubing, connectors and mask components to receive optimal
therapy and to prevent the growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
•Regularly inspect the HumidX/HumidX Plus and follow the cleaning and maintenance
instructions to prevent the growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking, discoloration, tears
etc.), the component should be discarded and replaced.
Disassembling components
The following sections provide instructions for disassembling components before cleaning.
Removing the connector
For F20 and N20 only:
Remove the connector from the mask by
pressing the side buttons and pulling the
connector away.
