How to Upload ResMed AirSense 10 Data to AirwayLab
Step-by-step guide to uploading ResMed AirSense 10 SD card data to AirwayLab for flow limitation analysis. Free, browser-based, no installation needed.
SD Card Details
- Location
- On the side of the machine, behind a small cover
- Card type
- Standard SD card (not micro). A card is included with the machine.
- Data folder
- DATALOG folder on the SD card root
- Sample rate
- 25 Hz for flow waveform data (BRP.edf files)
Step-by-Step Upload
- 1
Power off your AirSense 10 and unplug it from the wall.
- 2
Open the SD card slot on the side of the machine, behind the cover. Push the card gently to eject it.
- 3
Insert the SD card into your computer using an SD card reader (most laptops have a built-in slot).
- 4
Go to https://airwaylab.app/analyze and click "Upload Your SD Card."
- 5
Select the entire SD card (the top-level folder), not a subfolder. AirwayLab finds the right files automatically.
- 6
Wait 30-60 seconds for all four engines to process your data. Results appear in the dashboard.
- 7
When done, eject the SD card safely and put it back in your machine.
What AirwayLab Reads From Your AirSense 10
Flow waveform (BRP.edf) — breath-by-breath inspiratory flow used by all four AirwayLab engines
Session summary (STR.edf) — machine settings, pressure levels, usage hours per night
Device info (Identification.tgt) — device model, serial number
Tips for AirSense 10 Users
Keep the SD card in your machine at all times. It records detailed data every night that your machine's app (myAir) doesn't show you.
Upload weekly or monthly for best trend tracking. One night is a snapshot, trends tell the real story.
The SD card stores months of data. Even if you haven't uploaded before, your historical nights are there.
AirSense 10 AutoSet, Elite, and CPAP models all use the same EDF format. AirwayLab supports all of them.
Troubleshooting
AirwayLab says "No EDF files found"
The exact message is: 'No EDF files found. Make sure you selected the SD card root, not a subfolder.' It means your selection holds no recorded nights — see "My SD card is empty or has very little data" below. Selecting just the DATALOG folder works fine if it has data, but you'll be missing settings and device details, since STR.edf and the identification file sit at the SD card root, not inside DATALOG. Select the whole card to get everything.
My SD card is empty or has very little data
Check that the SD card is properly seated in the machine. The card should click into place. If the machine has been running without the card, no detailed data was recorded during that period. Insert it now and data will accumulate from tonight.
Analysis shows 0 nights
This usually means the DATALOG folder is missing or contains no BRP.edf files. Older AirSense 10 machines with outdated firmware may not record flow data. Check that your firmware is current via the clinician menu.
Glasgow Index seems very high (above 4)
A Glasgow Index above 3-4 suggests significant flow limitation. Compare multiple nights to identify patterns before drawing conclusions, and discuss with your sleep clinician.
All analysis runs in your browser. Your AirSense 10 data never leaves your device unless you choose to share it. The analysis engine is open-source (GPL-3.0) and publicly auditable.
