Supplemental oxygen
Before adding oxygen, familiarize yourself and your patient with the following warnings relating to the use
of supplemental oxygen.
WARNING
•
Supplemental oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
•
When using the device with an oxygen supply, check the following:
•
Starting therapy – ensure the device is on and blowing air before the oxygen supply is turned
on.
•
Stopping therapy – ensure the oxygen supply is turned off first, then the device.
This will ensure oxygen does not accumulate within the device and create a risk of fire.
The device is designed to be compatible with up to 15 L/min of supplemental oxygen in all modes.
At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary depending on the
pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection and the leak rate.
An oxygen connector port is required to connect supplemental oxygen to the device. Oxygen
concentration should be measured at the point of delivery to the patient.
Notes:
•
Adding oxygen may affect the delivered pressure and the accuracy of the displayed and reported values
•
Oxygen concentration can be affected by a partial obstruction downstream of the AirSense 11 system.
Fitting an oxygen port
1. Firmly connect the Oxygen Connector Port (A)
directly to the air outlet (B) of the flow
generator.
2. Connect the non-heated air tubing to the end
of the Oxygen Connector Port (C) as shown.
Ensure that the non-heated tube is connected
up to the indicated line (D).
3. Connect the oxygen supply tubing to the
oxygen inlet port (E) as shown.

My resmed air 11 does not work anymore and I have a flashing snowflake
The ResMed AirSense 11 shows a flashing snowflake icon when it is in cooling mode after use. If the icon remains flashing even while the device is in use, it may indicate an issue with airflow or internal components. Possible causes include blockages, inadequate ventilation, excess water in the hose, or a mechanical/electronic fault. To fix it, check for blockages, ensure proper airflow, drain excess water, and restart the machine. If the issue persists, the device may require professional repair.

KEEPS SHUTTING OF
The ResMed AirSense 11 may keep shutting off due to several reasons:
1. Weak Wireless Connection – If the device has a poor signal, try moving it to a location with a stronger connection, unplugging it for 60 seconds, and then powering it back on.
2. Running for Too Long – If the machine has been plugged in for weeks or months without being turned off, it may need a power cycle. Unplug it for 60 seconds, then plug it back in and restart it.
3. Turning Off Too Soon – If the device is powered down immediately after use, it may not have enough time to transmit data. Leave it on after stopping therapy to allow data transfer.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, professional repair may be necessary.

Sleep hours not correct. Unit used to track properly. How do I fix this
To fix incorrect sleep hour tracking on the ResMed AirSense 11 using SleepHQ, you have two options:
1. Edit sessions manually: You can adjust sleep session times night by night.
2. Set a permanent time offset: If your machine is consistently off by a specific amount (e.g., 30 minutes), you can apply a permanent time offset. Click the three vertical dots in the top right, select "Edit session times," and enter the time offset in seconds (e.g., -3600 for 1 hour earlier). This shifts all sessions automatically.
These steps help correct inaccurate sleep times from the CPAP data.
