Fisher & Pakel's HC150 stand-alone heated humidifier will put an end to dry, stuffy nasal passages by adding warm, moist air to standard CPAP or BiLevel therapy.  This small, compact unit also features Fisher & Paykel's patented Ambient Tracking System and simple, easy-to-use controls.  This unit will work with most manufacturers' CPAP machines.

 

Heated humidification improves patient comfort and compliance Up,to 80% of CPAP users complain of upper airway or nasal symptoms. Unfortunately these symptoms may be so severe, patients are unable to continue treatment. The nasal mucosa is responsible for heating and humidifying the air we breaths. Research has shown the increased airflow of CPAP can overwhelm our natural ability to humidify inspired air. As a result, the nasal mucosa may become dry, irritated and swollen. The HC150 adds heated humidification to standard CPAP therapy, maintaining mucosal hydration and preventing discomfort.

During the night, room temperatures often drop. When this occurs, humidification users commonly notice condensation and water droplets forming in the tubing. Many find the associated gurgling noise irritating and are often forced to drain the tubing during the night. To overcome this, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has developed the HC150 Humidifier with a unique feature - Ambient Tracking.
