The integrated clear humidifier chamber slides easily into place on the right side.
At the opposite end, the filter flap and data card are both accessible.
The tubing, either heatedor standard, connects at the center of the back with a rotating fixture.

One of the biggest changes with the AirSense 10 compared to the S9 model is the wireless capability.
There is an internal modem that can wirelessly connect to a local cell tower.
This allows data to be shared with your durable medical equipment provider to document compliance.
Your physician can also access it to make pressure adjustments remotely.
The humidifier allows configs from 1 to 8 when turned on.
The heated tubing temperature can be set from 60 to 86 degrees.
The automatic mode takes over these controls and seems to work well.
One of the drawbacks of the AirSense 10 is the design of the water chamber itself.
It has a very low profile and seems to contain less water than the S9 model.
This may encourage nightlycleaningand refills.
It also contributes to unintentional spills out the end if it is overfilled.
It also seems to fit less snugly as it is repeatedly taken out and replaced.
This may lead to some air leak and noise if it is not replaced properly.
If you prefer, an end cap can be placed without humidifier use.
It is extremely quiet, hardly making any noise with a proper mask seal.
The same filters, standard tubing, and masks can be used as were used with the S9 equipment.
The heated tubing differs in design and is not interchangeable.
It comes with a nice, quality bag for travel with convenient pockets and compartments.
This bag may be slightly small if you use a large full-face mask.
When comparing it to the prior model, a few drawbacks also come to mind.
The power cable differs, so the old one wont function as an extra if you upgrade your gear.
The machine itself is slightly wider, especially when comparing just the blower component of the gear.
This makes it a little less friendly for compact travel.
There is a standard version of the AirSense 10 and also a for Her model.
Fortunately, ResMed has maintained the pricing as the same as the prior S9 model.
