Air 11
The face of CPAP is changing.
It’s time for an update.
Young people are being diagnosed with sleep apnea more and more.
These sufferers have a 10x higher risk of dying from heart related ailments than non-sufferers and a much higher chance than older sufferers.

Design Goals
Current CPAP Machines are either straight out of the 00s or look like hospital equipment. CPAP users don’t want to look sick and they want their taste to show through items they place beside themselves.
Aesthetic Overhaul
Traveling with a CPAP can be embarrassing and difficult. Shrinking the footprint of the device and allowing all elements and accessories to be contained easily is a main focus.
Better Travel Solution
Smart tech is already on the rise in CPAP devices, so continuing with that trend it is necessary to broaden the scope of features to enhance all parts of sleep and rest.

ResMed Air 11 System
The Air 11 is a modular system which allows the user to remove the tank to refill for humidification, or leave it behind altogether, move the lid down, and travel with the compact CPAP unit.
Small and improved filters are easy to swap when needed. The more robust filter architecture allows multiple months of use with a single filter.
Speakers in the base widen the scope of use of the Air 11. Now it can play white noise, set alarms using voice commands, play music, and use active noise cancellation to remove any leftover sound from the internal pump.
The Air 11 is controlled entirely from a smartphone in the new and improved myAir app. This allows the unit to work without needing its own cellular connection (decreasing costs) and introduces improved ease of use.
The Air 11 has a new and innovative case that makes travel even easier than before. With a detachable shoulder strap, carrying the sleek case is a breeze. There is an integrated hose wrap and space for a mask and the AC adapter and plug so you can carry everything you need wherever you need.
