Will the air-mini work at 10,000’ elevation?

It's tested to 8500. This doesn't mean it won't work at 10,000, just that it hasn't been tested.

What pressures do you use and how severe is your apnea?

What are you planning to do at 10,000 feet? At which elevation do you live now?

Some CPAPers require some days or even weeks when making a big elevation change. Some will develop central apnea at this altitude.

You do need to think this out and have a Plan B for your second night at a lower altitude in case you have problems at 10,000 feet.

You might go into your original post and edit the subject line to "Use of ResMed AirMini at 10,000 Feet". This could help attract the attention of some members who have this type of experience.
