D. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DV5HH Standard Heated Humidifi er System is intended to
warm and add moisture to the pressurized air supplied to the pa-
tient during the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The
addition of heated humidifi cation to the air relieves dryness and
irritation to the patient’s airway during OSA therapy. The heated
humidifi er is used in conjunction with the DV5X series PAP devices
and consists of a humidifi er chamber and humidifi er heater.
The humidifi er chamber holds enough water for a minimum
of 8 hours of operation, with the heating unit at the maximum
temperature setting at ambient conditions of 23°C and 25%
R.H. with a system fl ow rate of 60 L/Min. The chamber slides
out of the unit for cleaning and fi lling, without adjusting tubing
connections. The chamber’s halves separate for easy cleaning
but, when assembled, maintain a leak free seal to a maximum
operating pressure of 30 cmH2O.
Heat transferred from the humidifi er heater to the humidifi er
chamber raises the effi ciency of the DV5HH system. The pa-
tient controls the heater plate temperature using the up/down
arrow keypad keys on the attached PAP device to provide the
appropriate level of humidifi cation depending upon environ-
mental conditions and individual preference.
