Why add Heated Humidification?
Heated humidification improves user comfort and compliance • Up to 80% of CPAP users complain of upper airway or nasal symptoms. • Unfortunately these symptoms may be so severe, users are unable to continue treatment. • The nasal mucosa is responsible for heating and humidifying the air we breathe. • 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 HC220 series adds heated humidification to standard CPAP therapy, maintaining mucosal hydration and preventing discomfort. See the difference The HC221 with compliance monitoring enables you to see the difference that heated humidification makes to CPAP usage.
