Should I turn on the 'AB Filter' option on my ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet for these filters?

Post by cLoo » Thu Nov 16, 2023 9:01 am

I bought these filters, but I need to decide what option to keep for those on my ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet. Is anyone familiar with this?

No....you would NOT be turning on the AB Filter setting if you use the filters you linked to.
Those filters are NOT Anti bacterial filters per the meaning of what constitutes an AB Filter.

This product is considered an AB filter

So totally different products with different jobs.

Most people won't need an AB filter at all. Special needs only like maybe additional allergy pollen filter for those with extreme allergies or maybe someone who has a compromised immune system.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

That's what I use 'em for, the cleaner air at night helps keep my nose open even during allergy attack days. :)
