You can use the M Series Heated humidifier or the M Series Pass-over humidifier with your
device. They are available from your home care provider. A humidifier may reduce nasal dryness
and irritation by adding moisture (and heat, if applicable) to the airflow. Figure 6–1 shows the
humidifier by itself and attached to the BiPAP Plus M Series device.
Caution: For safe operation, the humidifier must always be positioned below the
breathing circuit connection at the mask and the air outlet on the device.
The humidifier must be level for proper operation.
