Accessories: what fits?
Wrong purchases happen most often with the water tub, filter and heated tubing – these parts are not interchangeable between the two series. For the AirSense 10 we stock, for example, water tubs and SlimLine tubing (15 mm, unheated). More parts are in accessories & masks and spare parts.
Is a used AirSense 10 worth it?
The AirSense 10 has been widely used for years; accessories and spare parts are easy to get, and many people find the dial operation simple. When buying a used AirSense 10, check the operating hours, the technical inspection and the condition of the blower – see our checklist for buying a used CPAP. Tested devices are in our CPAP category.
