ResMed SlimLine CPAP Tubing 15 mm 1.83 m with Air10 Tubing Elbow, REF 36810 and 37394

SlimLine tubing is ResMed's narrow bore hose, 15 mm rather than the standard 19 mm, and it exists to solve one specific problem: tube drag. A standard hose is heavy enough that when the wearer turns over, its weight pulls on the mask, breaks the seal and produces a leak that wakes them. SlimLine is lighter, thinner and far more flexible, so the tube follows the head instead of anchoring it. This pack pairs the 1.83 m SlimLine tube with the Air10 tubing elbow, the adapter that connects a non-heated tube to the machine at a right angle. On an Air10 machine that elbow is not optional if the standard or slimline hose is being used in place of a heated tube, and it is the part most often missing when someone switches back from heated tubing.

Set the tube type on the machine

Machines compensate for the resistance of the tube fitted, and a 15 mm tube behaves differently from a 19 mm one. After changing hose type, set the tube option on the machine to SlimLine so the pressure delivered at the mask is correct. Leaving the machine set for a standard tube while running SlimLine means the therapy is not being delivered as prescribed. The setting is in the device options menu, and the service responsible for the individual's care can confirm it.

What the elbow is for

The Air10 tubing elbow connects a non-heated standard or slim tube to the machine at a right angle. Two things follow. The tube leaves the machine downward rather than straight out, which takes the strain off the connection and stops the hose being levered against the outlet every time the wearer moves. It also routes the hose toward the bed more naturally, so it is not forced into a bend the moment it leaves the device. The elbow ships as standard with AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10 devices, and it is also compatible with most machines from other manufacturers, so it is the item worth having when the original has been mislaid.

SlimLine against standard tubing

The narrower bore is the whole point, and it is a trade rather than a straight upgrade.

What is gained. Considerably less weight and bulk, and far more flexibility. Less mass hanging off the mask means fewer seal breaks when the wearer turns, which matters most for lightweight interfaces such as nasal pillows where a small pull is enough to unseat the cushion. It also packs smaller, which makes it the practical choice for travel with a full size machine.

What is traded. A narrower tube has higher resistance, which is why the machine setting has to match. Some wearers also find a thin hose rustles more against bedding than a heavier one.

What has not changed. Neither tube is heated. If rainout is the problem, meaning condensation in the hose and water reaching the mask, a heated tube is the answer rather than a change of bore.

Key features

15 mm narrow bore, lighter, thinner and more flexible than a standard 19 mm hose, which reduces tube drag on the mask.

Fewer leaks from movement, since less weight pulls on the cushion when the wearer changes position, which matters most with nasal pillows and lightweight masks.

1.83 m length, the standard reach, in a hose that takes up noticeably less space when coiled.

Smart-fit cuff, designed for straightforward attachment and removal at both ends.

Air10 tubing elbow included, connecting the tube to the machine at a right angle so the connection is not under constant strain.

Elbow works across brands, compatible with most machines from other manufacturers as well as Air10 series devices.

Packs small for travel, which makes SlimLine the sensible hose to keep in a bag alongside a full size machine.

Genuine parts, REF 36810 and 37394, so reordering is by reference rather than by description.

Safe use

Do not use a tube with a split, a hole, a permanent kink or a crushed section. Any of these changes the pressure reaching the mask, and the machine cannot correct for a leak it does not detect.
Confirm the machine tube setting matches the hose fitted before the first night.
Do not run the tube under bedding, a mattress or a pillow, where it can be crushed or trap heat.
Do not cut the tube, join lengths together or extend it beyond the length supplied.
Tubing is a single patient item and should not be transferred between users.
Allow the tube to dry fully before use after cleaning.

Care and renewal

Action	Detail	Interval
Wash	Wash in warm water with a mild detergent, working the water through the full length	Weekly
Rinse and dry	Rinse thoroughly and hang to dry away from direct sunlight, which degrades the material	Weekly
Inspect	Check the full length for splits, holes, permanent kinks and clouding, and check both cuffs still grip	Weekly
Elbow	Wash with the tube, inspect the seal face and confirm it seats firmly on the machine outlet	Weekly
Position	Route the tube so it is not trapped, pinched or run under bedding overnight	Each night
Renew	Fit a fresh tube at the interval set by the service responsible for care, or sooner if damage or persistent cloudiness appears	Typically every three to six months

The above is general guidance for a single user. The instructions supplied with the machine and with the tube take precedence. Do not use a dishwasher, washing machine, bleach, alcohol-based cleaners or scented oils on CPAP tubing.
