GENERAL INFORMATION - DV6HH
E. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DV6HH Standard Humidifier
The DV6HH Standard Heated Humidier System is intended to
warm and add moisture to the pressurized air supplied to the patient
during the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The addition
of heated humidication to the air relieves dryness and irritation to
the patient’s airway during OSA therapy. The heated humidier is
used in conjunction with DV6X series CPAP devices and consists of
a humidier chamber and humidier heater.
The humidier chamber holds enough water for a minimum of 8
hours of operation with the heating unit at the maximum temperature
setting with a system ow rate of 60 L/Min in ambient conditions of
23˚C and 25% R.H. The chamber slides out of the unit for cleaning
and lling without adjusting tubing connections. The chamber
separates for easy cleaning but, when assembled, maintains a leak-
free seal to a maximum operating pressure of 30 cmH
2
O.
Heat transferred from the heater to the chamber raises the efciency
of the DV6HH system. The patient controls the heater plate
temperature using the rotary knob on the attached CPAP device in
conjunction with the device’s display to provide the appropriate level
of humidication depending upon environmental conditions and
individual preference.
DV6HHPD PulseDose
®
Humidifier
The Humidier PulseDose
®
Valve Module is an optional plug-in
accessory for the DV6HH Heated Humidier that offers two primary
advantages: it saves power and water by eliminating wasted
humidication during exhalation, and it is able to provide maximum
humidication without inducing rainout in the patient tubing.
The PulseDose module relies on the heated humidier to provide
pressurized and humidied air, which the module releases to the
patient upon inhalation. The valve module releases pressurized air
without humidication to the patient during exhalation. This valve
action saves water by only using humidity during half of the
breathing cycle.
