Remove the SD card from a ResMed AirSense 10
The AirSense 10 SD card is behind a small flip-open cover on the left side of the machine, toward the back, as you face the display. The same steps apply to the AirCurve 10. Remove the card while the machine is idle, upload on the web portal, and return it before you sleep.
Where the slot is
Face the display. On the left side, roughly level with the humidifier tub release, there is a flat cover that pivots open. The SD card sits in the slot behind it.
Steps
Make sure therapy is off and the machine is idle.
If the display shows the SD card icon flashing, the machine is still writing. Wait until it stops.
Flip the cover open.
It pivots down and stays attached.
Press the card in
until it clicks, then let go. It pops out slightly.
Pull it out
by the edges.
Insert it into your card reader.
Any standard USB SD reader or a laptop slot works. See Which SD card reader.
Upload at my.apnealytics.com.
Open Import and drop in the card's folder. The upload is read-only and resumable.
Put it back.
Eject from your computer, slide the card into the slot contacts-first until it clicks, and close the cover.
The write-lock tab
Look at the long edge of the card. The small slider must be away from the LOCK position. A locked card means the machine records nothing tonight, and you will see a missing night at your next upload.
AirSense 10 and old cards
Some AirSense 10 machines have been in service for years and the card with it. If the machine starts reporting card errors, or uploads show corrupted days, the card may be wearing out. A replacement from ResMed, or a reputable brand-name SD card, fixes it. Upload your current card first so nothing is lost.
How often
Monthly is enough for most people. Upload sooner if you have changed pressure, EPR or masks and want to see the effect. Re-uploads only add new nights, so there is no penalty for uploading often.
Trouble?
Card not recognised by the machine after reinsertion
Card not recognised by the machine after reinsertion: remove, check orientation, reinsert until it clicks.
Missing recent night
Missing recent night: see No data for last night.
Upload stalls

Questions people ask
Where is the SD card on a ResMed AirSense 10?
On the left side of the machine as you face the display, toward the back, behind a small flip-open cover. Press the card in to release it. The AirCurve 10 uses the same housing and the same slot.
Is it safe to remove the AirSense 10 SD card?
Yes, when therapy is off and the machine is idle. Do not remove it while the card icon on the display is flashing; that means the summary for the night is still being written. Wait until it is steady, then press and pull.
Does the AirSense 10 record data without the SD card?
It runs, but the detailed data Apnealytics reads is written to the card. Without it you get a night with no detail. Return the card right after uploading.
Can I use a different SD card in my AirSense 10?
Generally yes, with a standard SD card. Back up by uploading the old card first. Apnealytics dedups, so if the new card later holds overlapping nights, they will not be counted twice.
