The AirFit P10 weighs just 1.6 ounces, and has only three parts, including a new soft and stable QuickFit™ headgear. ResMed has pioneered a new mesh vent called QuietAir™ so the AirFit P10 is 50 percent quieter than its predecessor, diffusing air with minimal disturbance to patients or their bed partners. ResMed's AirFit P10 maintains a secure seal while delivering a high level of facial freedom.

"The AirFit P10's light weight and ultra-quiet performance also translates directly into better compliance," said Jon Yerbury, vice president of ResMed's Sleep-Disordered Breathing Strategic Business Unit. "Our internal research has shown that the AirFit P10 provides an average of 40 more minutes of sleep per night than ResMed's current market-leading nasal pillows mask."

For the convenience of ResMed's home medical equipment provider customers as well as patients, the AirFit P10 has color-coded cushion sizing, with small, medium and large sizes in the standard AirFit P10 system, and extra-small, small and medium sizes in the AirFit For Her system, which features headgear designed for women.

ResMed's AirFit P10 begins shipping in the U.S. today.
