Does anyone know the difference between an airsense 11 and an aircurve 11 machine? All these different machines really have me confused.???

There are several different machines in both the AirSense 11 model line and the AirCurve 11 model line.

Each can do different things for different problems.

Thank you. I was told they were practically the same machine; apparently they’re not.

Physically they're much the same, but the operating system/firmware is quite different. AirSense machines are designed for "simple" obstructive apnea (providing low to medium pressure), while AirCurves are designed for central apnea and other conditions (requiring varying degrees of pressure).
