Fisher & Paykel HC150 Series Heated Humidifier with Ambient Tracking offers many of the humidification benefits of Fisher and Paykel's integrated SleepStyle 200 series. Ambient Tracking balances humidity to compensate for changes in room temperature, therefore minimizing disruptive condensation. The HC150 will work with any CPAP on the market to provide you with the most effective CPAP therapy under changing conditions.
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.
