Your oxygen concentrator should be set at ………. litres per minute when
connected to your NIV machine.
Will I need a humidifier as well?
We might decide that breathing damp (humidified) air will help you if you have a productive sticky
cough (you cough up phlegm or mucus) or a dry mouth or throat.
The humidifier is a clear chamber that is inserted into the side of the side of the machine.
Note: If the ventilator is equipped with a click-in battery or an airway bypass unit these should
be removed before installing the water chamber.
Lift the handle and
push these two
buttons down and
pull the chamber
to remove.
Fill it no higher than the
maximum fill line with water
(cool boiled or distilled
water).
