Interface for Transcend H

Waterless Humidification Systems
The interface connects the therapy pressure delivered by
the CPAP device to the patient. The interface includes a
hard plastic shell and a nasal seal (purchased separately
from your homecare provider) that seals the pressurized
interface against the face. The shell accepts the air
supply tube from the CPAP device and has a port that
the CPAP's pressure sensing tube attaches to; this tubing
connection permits the sensing of air pressure within the
interface shell when it is sealed against the patient's face.
The interface also has a vent for discharge of exhaled air.
The plastic notches on the air supply tube must line up
with the slots on the HME housing and the pressure
sensing tube must fit properly over the pressure sensor
port on the HME housing.
