Universal waterless disposable humidifier

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This item has been discontinued and is no longer available; please see our current range of CPAP humidifiers here.

If you travel frequently, then you will be familiar with the problems of transporting a CPAP machine – and even more so when you require a humidifier.

As well as bulk, humidifiers pose the additional problems of requiring mains power to run and needing to be dry prior to transportation.

This Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) waterless humidifier provides a solution. The disposable filter provides humidification for up to 24 hours of use.

Now you can travel with your CPAP machine and not have to worry about transporting your regular humidifier with you, and you can benefit from humidification even if you are using a battery or other 12V power source.

How the disposable humidifier works

An HME works by trapping the moisture in your exhaled breath and releasing it when you exhale.

It is a filter that sits in a plastic holder, which sits between your mask and tubing. To install, you simply disconnect your tubing from the mask, connect it to the HME, and then the other end of the HME into the mask.

The HME must not be used at the same time as a conventional humidifier. It is strictly one or the other.

This is a universal device and will work with almost any CPAP mask* and CPAP machine (provided it does not have a permanent humidifier attachment / heated tube). We would recommend ordering a single unit initially to confirm suitability for your needs, and compatibility with your equipment, before proceeding to a larger quantity order as required.

The plastic casing also features an inline port for supplementary oxygen if required.

* Please note that this is not compatible with the DreamWear mask from Philips Respironics.
