G'day mates If you use a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 you can now register for a free www.sleephq.com account. It's super easy to upload, review and share your cpap therapy data. We're adding new CPAP machines to the platform every month so join our mailing list and we will let you know when your CPAP is compatible cpap.review/sleephq-newsletter

I have disassembled both the Resmed Airsence 10 CPAP, and the Aircurve 10 BiPap. Looks like every component is identical including the motor and circuit boards. They just unlock specific modes in the firmware for the type of machine, and change the name of them.

Wow, you may just have posted the video that may change my life drastically. I suffer from severe sleep apnea (36 epm) and invariably around 3 am I start to have a lower pulse and my throat starts closing more and I need more pressure but my machine is the black one (airsense 10) hence it doesn't ramp up in time and I've been functional but certainly not refreshed and properly rebooted in the mornings for literally decades. I work for a startup software fintec and I am considering this. This video illuminates the way to get a machine that may very well help me get better sleep and since I can't afford that AirCurve ASV machine I think you may just have produced the most significant video on youtube I have EVER watched. I hope you do make a howto video, even if its a silent one under a new account made under vpn, this could change my life and many others. For those without severe sleep apnea I know I sound completely OVER the top, but guys like me didn't get a good night sleep in decades so forgive the enthusiasm.

I've seen this done by a ResMed engineer. However it should be noted that a true ResMed bipap model doesn't have AutoSet or AutoSet For Her modes (unless you've unlocked some kind of test system mode). Also there is a bipap model that has double the amount of RAM on-board. I do believe it's for the ASV model which runs the more complex of therapy modes. Also the other hidden costs for bipap devices is the more stringent regulatory requirements that the device must conform to. You can see some of that in such minor detail as the bipap DC power cable which has a retaining clip. My understanding is that this process was used on the S9 models and undoubtedly will be used on the AirCurve 11 bipap models. We probably won't see any of the AirCurve 11 Bipap models until later next year as they'll have to go through a 510(k) pre-market submission, which I've been told, at best takes 6 months. I can see ResMed wanting to fast track this development so as to take advantage of Philips' woes at the moment. The prospect of this has seen the stellar rise of the RMD share price over the past few months. It should be noted that turning your AirSense 10 into a bipap machine has absolutely no therapeutic advantage for an OSA sufferer, in fact it could be detrimental for your treatment. Bipap machines treat non-compliant OSA and the more serious respiratory disorders.

Thank you mate! I recently undertook the conversion and posted earlier how it didn't work. Well I actually found the solution to my problem and it came from another video you made! Thank you so much for your assist!!! During my first go around, I accidentally nudged the motherboard a bit and caused the pressure sensors to not get aligned with the rubber plugs. This caused my machine to go on the fritz!. it just started going berserk! After I saw your video on the motor replacement on the s9 you specifically made mention to make sure you align the pressure sensors when fitting the motherboard back into the housing. Well just by chance I was looking at the rubber pieces and they were not connected to the sensor. Nudged it back and there ya go! perfect as a resmed should be! Thank you again so very much! I deleted my original comment cause I didn't want to scare people from experimenting. THANK YOU!!!! Looking forward to your next video. Love the accent btw. :)

Please do the tutorial. I now have a noisy AirSense 10 that I would love to mess with.

Dr evil, nice touch.

I had suspected that the difference between my new AirCurve ASV and my husband's AirSense 10 was nothing more than a computer chip/programming. And as soon as the Phillips recall hit, the cost went even higher. The cheapest ASV machine I found was $3450.US! Still curious as to what Phillips is going to do for me and all the BiPap/ASV folks.

Nick .Thanks for keeping us informed .I enjoy your videos that you put up .Thanks Mate ....

I just got my AirSense 10. Your channel is so helpful man. Cheers frim across the pond. 🇺🇸🦅

Obstructive sleep apnea = cpap machine. Central sleep apnea = bipap machine. Complex sleep apnea = ASV, Adaptive Servo-Ventilator. Been using one for 9 years. First one purchased in 2012 was $9000. Slightly less in 2019 for my second ASV since technology advances has brought the price down slightly..

I also understand that the ResMed 10 units can all go to 30 cm H2O, but are limited via the Firmware. Hence why some of the effectively identical ResMed AirCurve 10 units do go to 25 cm H2O, using the exact same Pump Unit and Plumbing. Indeed, both Models could hit 30 if it were allowed by the Firmware. I do appreciate this is primarily a design overhead so both can function long term at their permitted pressures

I would love to see a side-by-side list of the different data available after the Airbreak.

Thanks. I wonder taking anything apart, my Resmed Air10 is perfect as it is, thanks for your information 🥰

I knew this was the case when they offer EPR on the standard autoset. The retail prices you quote are not consistent with what resmed sell them for online. The Bipap machines go for $2800 if my memory serves me correct and a autoset is $1800. I guess they also build into the cost warranty recovery because if you're making the motor ramp up and down fast it's going to add more stress.

Definitely! I’d like to know how involved. You never know if you might need that info.

You ought to be more upset about Aussies getting ripped off outrageously. In the US, an Airsense 10 auto CPAP retails for US$969 and the BiPAP for US$1250. Either the manufacturers are screwing you, or the chemists, or the government (by imposing rules that somehow cause these price differences.)

Do a tutorial for education purposes :)

World of a difference from a therapy perspective.

Thanks mate, always with great info, this is so cool!

While waiting for Philips to send a new or repaired DreamStation ASV unit, my insurance company approved a replacement RESMED, and I am told that I am next in line when a new unit is available. Not sure how long that will be, but good news nevertheless since I only had the Phillips for less than 2 years.

As a professional firmware developer who also owns an Airsense 10 I can categorically state that the firmware powering these devices is VERY basic and would have been a mere tiny fraction of the overall machine development cost.

Really interesting stuff Nick. Yeah I don’t think I own anything anymore that I haven’t voided the warranty. However I’m still paying this off so I’ll wait a while. Also there must be a way of resetting that date or is this a “firmware upgrade also that has the “date as being the expiration.” Thanks again great stuff as always.

I had no idea that the Resmed Aircurve 10 V Auto that the VA gave me for free was worth so much. I’ll treat it a little better.

Riiiiight lol. I didn't spend 5 years in evil medical school to be called "Mister" Thank you very much.

WOW Thank you!

Reminds me of Tesla. The "Full Self Driving" capability costs $15,000 US. Same car.

I just got an airsense 10 with 533 hours and like 100 nose pillows, 4 heat hoses, 4 of the other hoses that attach to the heat hose, 4 tanks and like 100 filters for 150.00

My ResMed Air Sense 10 was right at $1,000 I paid $99 after insurance Why so expensive down there?

I had to switcht a bipap, the last time I had the stats checked, (last month) The part where I forget to breath while sleeping is getting worse. They said I may need to upgrade to a another machine that will force a breath if I go too long with out breathing?

I was wondering why my new Aircurve Vauto had the black casing. At first I thought the company sent my the wrong product and I was pissed but it functions perfectly as a BiPap

That's interesting that the bi-pap you have is grey. Whilst my machine is black just like the cpap machine.

Is it still compatible with Sleep HQ and Oscar?

i have been on CPAP since 1995!! my 3rd machine is an older(about 4yrs) Dream Station Auto!!! my p95==18!! my API

I have an Autoset for Her I'd love to try this on. I use an Aircurve Vauto as my main machine.

You should add links into description, too. Not all handheld devices display screen overlays.

While the firmware no doubt cost a lot to develop, it is no doubt 95% plus the same between the models... and the fact some guy hacked it to do bipap says that someone with the source code and knowing what they are doing could probably engineer the difference in some weeks of work.

Link to firmware flash please

I just bought a resmed airsense 10 for $670

Hi Niko... Nice work..... would love to see that "how to" follow vid mentioned... luv ur work.... a quick question.. Did you have the SX567-0401 version of the firmware on your AS10 before starting? I would love to try it, but my old machine is 0306.... If your firmware was older than 0401, you mind sharing how you addressed issue from link "The script might fail if the hashes of your extracted firmware do not match the one that it expects (currently SX567-0401). If you have a different version, please contact us for how to proceed."??? Thanks Mate!!

Looked into this projects and unfortunately it requires specific firmware number to be patched as well as teardown of the machine and special adapters. The guys that've tried it say not all the setting are in fact enabled and furthermore the original developers seemed to have abandoned the project.

Hi and thank you! My cord/plug adapter isn't making the machine turn on, and I'm assuming that it has something to do with where the cord plugs into the machine (outlet port?) bc I have tried 3 different cords and different outlets and nothing makes it turn on. Does anyone have this problem? The light flickers for a second at best....

Was wandering if you have the tutorial to do the air break?

Thank you

Is VENTMED A copy OF RESMED, or does VENTMED manufacture RESMED machines. Ie VENTMED Dream Space DS-6 CPAP, DS- 7 BIPAP, DS-8 BIPAP AUTO (around US$400 from China). The plastic and switches are like Resmed machines and the screen is the same. I've been using it for last three months with the Philips mask (which cost in Australia half the price of the BIPAP machine. The Bipap machine comes with a full face mask, but it is inferior to the Philips).

Hi Nicko, I do have mine unlocked, actually I sent email to GitHub developer that said: go and get it at no cost, I have no use to id, if it will help you , just get it with my daughter. He refused any payment, asked to pay it forward helping others. My question is, he unlocked the firmware 306 but I don't believe all modes are working properly, just ASV Auto seam to work. Have you tested all modes? Are you able to run multiple modes with SD card inserted in? The Airsense 10 reboots on its own if I try to use in any mode except ASV Auto. Can you share patched FW?

G'day, Nick; Thank you for all you do. Good video, thanks much. How can we contact you? I have an AirSense 10 & need some advice / info. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

I also have copd & oxygen is fitted to my resmed air curve 10. I have terrible dry mouth & what feels like a film on my teeth. What should I do? Thanks

My answer before viewing the rest of the video is..... it's the amount your insurance company is willing to pay for the device?

Did you ever post the how to video?

Attn RESMED TEAM - This is "UN AUSTRALIAN" charging such an exorbitant price, just for some silly soft ware. We r not talking about any high end artificial intelligence stuff. Pls remember, most patients will be spending their hard earned money, so they can "BREATH" while they sleep. Hope you guys can sleep well with all this breathing money. One day we all STOP breathing and no machines or better say money can help us to breath. Thank you Nick for this investigative journalism. U reminded me about the movie "All the President's Men". Pls keep up your brilliant job. Now this is what we call Australian way.

So what is the difrent then I have the air since from the hospital at home afther some sleep test

can anyone share with me a dump of their aircurve vauto firmware?

Show it!!! Actually it wont help me as I have a BMC machine but, still very interesting.

Hi, I am from melbourne. I have an aircurve 10 asv. It suddenly started making a sound. Can you help me in the right direction on how I can deal with this.

Love to see a jail break video!!

Do you know how to do that firmware upgrade?

Does jailbroken device have cpap auto mode with epr? Any way to finnd asv jail break?

What about the Philips machines? I noticed the blowers are different in Philips machines!

Is there a firmware to share the internet to my holehouse ..turn it into a hotspot ?

Sorry off Topic but wondering How does one clean the inside of the machine itself especially with Covid around these days?

$8000..? I have a Resmed Auto and it's about $1500

Mate!!!! Get the tutorial happening so we can allllll get bang for our bucks!!! Resmed can go stick it

Aussies are getting ripped off. I got a brand new Resmed Airsense 10 with heated tube, cradle mask, carry bag etc etc for around AUD$1000 here in Thailand a few weeks ago.

Fella I'm looking to buy a new bipap but nup definitely not paying 8k they're bloody dreaming I work too hard for my money. Can I pay you to do this upgrade for me? Happy to pay you good cash to avoid giving more money to the big pharma dogs.

hmmm

I’d really love to have access to a tutorial or any reference documents or software. I want to hack mine. It’s out of warranty already.

Is the programmer available?!

I vote tutorial!!

Not to be "that guy" but if your messing with firmware on the device beware of lawsuits from Resmed. I believe there have been lawsuits over things like jail breaking devices in the past.

I would like to help people do this, I can patch to them for free, here in Brazil ST-A Airsense cost equivalent to 17-20 minimum salary and it is not covered my insurance. Many people cannot use cpap due high expiratory pressure or central apneas as well cannot effort buy bipap.

holy Mary mother of Big J. 2500$????????? i paid 1/4 of that for my airsense 10.

Writing and testing and certifying software for medical devices is hugely expensive.

Dear god! $8000??? Here in Ontario, Canada the AirSense 10 FH is only $215 CAD ($860 before government healthcare) and the AirCurve 10 V Auto is $280 CAD ($1120 before govt healthcare). That is absolute extortion

I call bullshit on the expense of today's tech,maby 50 yrs ago devolvement of new devices were terribly expensive but today's tech stands on the shoulder of yesterday's tech. (if that makes since) . It's all about the dollar bills yo! , Every body wants to get as rich as possible as fast as possible instead of caring about one another. It's a shitty business model

Nick, your comments (imbedded in other comments) regarding gov. control and price gouging should be moved to Pinned at the top. Those practices are simply outrageous!! S/B more looting and burning in protest!! (Ha ha)

Can I talk to Jamal? I have an Airsense 10 Autoset that was hacked either by my DME, or (I really suspect) some big pharma asshat or perhaps a mercenary to blow hard enough to wake me up. I could send the motherboard and have him reinstall the proper software. Anyone out there know Jamal?

Please take care of your self. Your home land seems out of control.

I have a brand new air sense 10 coming in the next few weeks. I’d be happy to pay someone who could do this. Please pm me if interested

Just wow, talk about fleecing consumers. It would have better if ResMed just sold the BiPap firmware as an upgrade.

Watching your video is so much fun because it's good, attractive and engaging. Thank you. For a very enjoyable experience. You are so wonderful. Wishing you success and good health. Beautifully beautiful. I really like people like you. My good friend.@&₫&”

$6,000 not 5

Trammell is not Jamal WTF haha

These things are wayyyyyyyy overpriced
