The HC150 Heated Humidifier from Fisher & Paykel improves patient comfort and compliance by providing warmed, humidified air during CPAP and BIPAP/Bilevel therapy. It is an external heated humidifier and therefore is compatible with almost any CPAP/BIPAP/Bilevel system including those from Respironics, ResMed, Fisher & Paykel, DeVilbiss, AEIOmed, and others.

More Comfortable Therapy
Up to 80% of CPAP/BIPAP/Bilevel users complain of upper airway or nasal symptoms which can occur due to cold, dry air during therapy. Unfortunately these symptoms may be so severe that treatment is discontinued. The nasal mucosa is responsible for heating and humidifying the air we breath. Research has shown the increased airflow of CPAP/BIPAP/Bilevel 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.
