Logging in to myAir
myAir is ResMed's patient app. Web access is at myair.resmed.eu for Europe. The myAir mobile app also exists on iOS and Android, using the same account.
You need your device serial number to create the account. It is on the label underneath the machine. If you cannot log in, first check that your device is connected to the network and has not been left in airplane mode.
ResMed myAir - How to Read and Understand Your CPAP Results
myAir is ResMed's official app for tracking your CPAP therapy. It connects to your AirSense 11 via Wi-Fi and displays a score from 0 to 100 each morning based on the previous night's data. Understanding your score helps you identify what's working - and what can be improved.
Controlling your device from myAir
myAir does more than display your data. On AirSense 11 devices, the app changes the machine's comfort settings, and starts or stops therapy. The path is always Therapy control, then My options.
- Ramp time and start pressure
- Expiratory relief EPR, on or off and level 1 to 3
- SmartStart and SmartStop
- Climate Control, humidity, tube temperature
- AutoSet Response, Standard or Soft
The full detail, with possible values, is on our page CPAP settings: what you can change yourself. An active Bluetooth connection is required.
Connecting your AirSense 11 to myAir
Contrary to a common belief, the AirSense 11 does not connect to your home Wi-Fi. The ResMed manual is explicit: the device has built-in cellular communication that transmits your data on its own, with no network setup on your side.
For the myAir app, the link is over Bluetooth:
- Make sure the device is correctly set up and plugged into mains power.
- Install the myAir app on your phone, launch it and tap Continue.
- Follow the on screen prompts to complete the Bluetooth connection.
- Tap Done. The Bluetooth symbol appears in the device status bar.
The full procedure, along with the other device settings, is on our page about the SD card and therapy data.
The myAir Score - How Is It Calculated?
The myAir score runs from 0 to 100. ResMed publishes its exact weighting, and it often surprises people.
| Criterion | Points out of 100 | How they are earned |
|---|---|---|
| Usage hours | 70 | 10 points per hour, up to 7 hours |
| Mask seal | 20 | 20 for minimal leak, 10 to 15 for moderate leak |
| Events per hour (AHI) | 5 | 4 to 5 points if events are minimal |
| Mask on and off | 5 | 5 points if you remove it once or twice |
myAir is designed as an adherence encouragement tool, not a clinical assessment. A high score means you wear your mask well. It does not mean your therapy is working. For that, look at your residual AHI, and for night-by-night detail, use OSCAR.
Understanding Each myAir Indicator
Usage Hours
Time during which you actually wore the mask and breathed with CPAP pressure. Minimum target: 4 hours per night. Below 4 hours, most studies show insufficient therapeutic effectiveness.
Residual AHI
- < 5 events/hour: excellent apnea control
- 5 to 10: acceptable but improvable
- > 10: poorly controlled - consult your doctor
Mask Leaks
myAir rates leaks as Excellent, Good, or Needs Attention. Leaks are the most common cause of a poor myAir score.
If leaks are elevated:
- Check your cushion (worn? clean?)
- Readjust the headgear
- Avoid moisturisers before wearing your mask
- If leaks persist, replace the cushion (available in our replacement parts)
What to Do if Your myAir Score Is Below 70
First, read the number correctly. A score below 70 almost always means one thing: you slept fewer than five hours with the device, since usage alone is worth 70 points. Leaks and events cannot pull you that low on their own.
- Check leaks: most common cause. Inspect and clean your cushion.
- Check usage hours: wear the mask at least 4 hours. Try the pressure ramp feature for a more comfortable start.
- Control residual AHI: if high despite correct usage, pressure may be inappropriate - discuss with your doctor.
- Use OSCAR for deeper analysis: see our OSCAR guide for night-by-night data analysis.

Frequently asked questions about the ResMed myAir app
The myAir score is a composite indicator out of 100 calculated from four criteria: usage hours, residual AHI, mask leaks and mask removals. A score above 70 indicates that your therapy is generally effective. Above 80 you are in an optimal zone. Below 70, one or more criteria need attention. The score has no clinical value in itself: it is an educational tool to track day-to-day progress.
Follow a four-step diagnostic. Check leaks first: this is the most common cause of a low score. Then verify your usage hours and try the pressure ramp if you remove the mask during the night. Monitor residual AHI: if it stays above 5 despite proper use, discuss with your doctor. For deeper analysis, use the OSCAR software which displays respiratory events night by night.
No. myAir provides a daily consumer-friendly summary: overall score, hours, average AHI, leaks. OSCAR is an advanced analysis software that reads your CPAP SD card and displays detailed second-by-second curves of pressure, flow, leaks and respiratory events. myAir is suitable for routine monitoring, OSCAR is useful when you need to understand why your score is dropping or why therapy remains uncomfortable.
Leaks weigh heavily in the myAir score because they compromise CPAP effectiveness. When air escapes around the mask, the actual pressure in the airway drops and apnoeas may reappear. Common causes: worn cushion, badly adjusted headgear, moisturiser on the skin, or changes in morphology. Inspect your cushion first and replace it via our replacement parts.
Four hours is the minimum efficacy threshold used in most clinical studies and by insurance conventions such as INAMI. For optimal benefit on fatigue, attention and cardiovascular health, the real target is to wear the CPAP for your entire sleep duration. If you sleep 7 hours, aim for 7 hours with the mask. The higher the adherence, the better the long-term outcomes.
Only with your explicit consent. Your doctor or provider can access your data via the professional ResMed AirView portal, but this requires prior authorisation. If you are under the INAMI convention, your sleep centre typically uses this system to monitor adherence. If you bought your device at VivaRespire, sharing is entirely optional: your data stays in your myAir account unless you decide to share it.
No. Your AirSense 11 works perfectly without Wi-Fi. CPAP therapy runs locally on each use. myAir is an optional monitoring tool. Without Wi-Fi, you still have access to AHI and hours on the device screen. The built-in SD card records all detailed data, readable through OSCAR. Wi-Fi is useful for monitoring convenience, not for treatment itself.
