ClimateLine AIR Heated TubinG
CPAP Systems include a basic CPAP hose. State of the art CPAP systems like the Resmed Airsense 10 are designed to seamlessly integrate heated tubing to offer relief from dryness and congestion to improve therapy effectiveness. The Airsense 10 is designed to incorporate the ClimateLineAir Heated Tubing. The ClimateLineAir enables the Auto Climate control which optimizes the humidity for ideal treatment conditions, reduces the chance of condensation and creates the optimal circumstance for your success with CPAP therapy.
How Humidification Helps
Until recently the benefits of humidification in CPAP therapy have been compromised by changing ambient temperature. Changes in temperature cause condensation and mask pressure instability in addition to humidity loss in therapy. Heated breathing tubes, adapted from sophisticated intensive care humidification, deliver higher and customized humidity levels that are maintained throughout the night, regardless of ambient temperature changes.
Humidification technology provides optimal patient comfort and therapy effectiveness through prevention of condensation and absolute mask pressure stability. It also provides optimal humidity delivery in all environments. Research shows CPAP users experience mouth leak up to 31% of total sleep time. Mouth leak can cause excessive drying of the nasal mucosa and congestion due to increased nasal airway resistance.
CPAP and BiLEVEL therapy effectiveness is improved through a comfortable, well fitting mask.
Sizing when a face-to-face consultation isn’t possible can be difficult. But with ResMed MaskSelector, finding the recommended mask is just a few clicks away. When you answer just a few questions about your health, sleep habits and facial measurements, this online tool provides our regulated health professional with a recommended mask in the size that’s right for you.
