Premium auto-adjusting BiPAP with ResMed’s best ecosystem.

The AirCurve 11 VAuto is ResMed’s flagship bilevel machine, delivering separate inhale and exhale pressures that auto-adjust throughout the night. Built on the Air11 platform, it shares the same touchscreen, myAir app, and ClimateLineAir 11 heated tubing as the AirSense 11 — but adds bilevel modes for patients who need more than standard CPAP. The VAuto algorithm is widely regarded as one of the most comfortable bilevel experiences available.

Common Questions

Is it quiet?
27 dBA — matching the AirSense 11 and among the quietest bilevel machines available. The Easy-Breathe motor is barely audible.
Is it easy to use?
Same polished touchscreen interface as the AirSense 11. Familiar to anyone who’s used a ResMed Air11 device. myAir app integration is excellent.
Can I travel with it?
FAA-approved and at 2.7 lbs it’s lighter than most home machines. Universal voltage. Still larger than dedicated travel CPAPs but very manageable for occasional trips.
How does it track my sleep?
Full myAir ecosystem: nightly score, coaching tips, Care Check-In prompts, and Personal Therapy Assistant. Cellular (AirView) for clinician monitoring. Bluetooth for phone sync.
Is the humidifier good?
Integrated HumidAir 11 heated humidifier with ClimateLineAir 11 heated tubing. Auto climate control adjusts humidity and tube temperature in real time. Best-in-class comfort system.
What masks work?
Universal — works with any standard CPAP/BiPAP mask. Optimized for ResMed masks but compatible with all major brands via 22mm connector.
How much does it cost?
Premium pricing at $1,400–$2,000 retail. The heated tubing and filters are Air11-specific and not backward compatible with older ResMed models.
Who is this NOT for?
Overkill for mild OSA that responds well to standard CPAP. If you don’t need bilevel pressure support, the AirSense 11 costs significantly less and uses the same platform.
