System Overview

The System One Heated Humidifier attaches to the therapy device and provides an air outlet port
to connect a breathing circuit. The breathing circuit is comprised of patient tubing, a mask, and
in some instances a separate exhalation device. The patient tubing can be Respironics heated
tubing, 22 mm (non-heated) performance tubing or 15 mm (non-heated) performance tubing. For
information related to the mask to be used, including any need for a separate exhalation device,
consult the instructions for use that accompany both the mask and therapy device.
The System One Heated Humidifier with Heated Tubing is designed to deliver humidification
for added comfort during therapy. This humidification level is controlled through the output of
the heated humidifier as well as the temperature of the optional heated tubing. Use of these two
accessories allows for a comfortable level of humidity to be maintained at the mask.
The System One Heated Humidifier is comprised of the following components:
• Heated Humidifier - The heated humidifier is the primary source of humidification. Humidifi-
cation is controlled by adjusting the temperature of the heater plate. The heater plate is then
used to heat water found in the water tank. This manual includes instructions that explain
how to set up and take care of the heated humidifier. For instructions on how to adjust
the output of the heated humidifier, refer to the instructions for use that accompanied the
therapy device.
• Water Tank - The water tank stores the water that will be used by the heated humidifier.
This manual includes instructions that cover how to fill up and take care of the water tank.
• Heated Tubing - The heated tubing is an optional accessory that is used, along with the
heated humidifier, to control the provided humidification. This is accomplished by control-
ling the temperature of the air in order to ensure that it does not cool down prior to reaching
the mask. This manual includes instructions that cover how to connect and take care of the
heated tubing. For instructions on how to adjust the temperature of the heated tubing, refer
to the instructions for use that accompanied the therapy device.
