2. Humidification
2.1. Can I clean the HumidX?
No. The HumidX cannot be cleaned and should be replaced 30 days after opening the packaging.
2.2. How often does the HumidX need to be replaced?
The HUmidX needs to be replaced 30 days after its packaging is opened. If the HumidX was not used
every day during the 30-day period, it must still be replaced. The HumidX design life bases on the
date of opening the packaging not the number of days used during therapy, however it is important to
inspect the HumidX regularly.
2.3. What will happen if the HumidX is used well over 30 days?
ResMed does not recommend the HumidX to be used beyond 30 days. If the HumidX is used beyond
30 days this can cause deterioration in cleanliness, humidification performance and breathing comfort
which can affect safe and efficacious use of AirMini. Ensure the HumidX and other components of the
AirMini system are regularly maintained as per the user instructions.
2.4. Does the HumidX have a used by date/shelf life?
No, the HumidX does not have a used by date and can be stored indefinitely without any impact to
the safety or efficacy of therapy. Note however that if the packaging has been opened, damaged or
torn at the time of receipt, the HumidX should be discarded and replaced with a new one.
2.5. Can I still use the HumidX if I got it wet?
No, if the HumidX gets wet (saturated) it is recommended to discarded and replaced.
2.6. I am not getting adequate humidification. What should I do?
The HumidX performance declines with leak events and therefore is more suited to low leak users
(around half of the active humidification population). In order to maximise humidification, we
recommend first trying to minimise leak.
If the HumidX is still not providing the desired level of humidification try swapping between the
HumidX & HumidX Plus to see if this improves comfort levels.
If neither of these options help, waterless humidification may not be suitable for your humidification
needs. Please speak to your healthcare provider about trying active humidification on an AirSense
device.
2.7. Why is there no humidification for full face masks?
Using the current HumidX technology we are unable to develop a Heat and Moisture Exchanger for
full faced masks that can deliver the desired level of humidification performance. ResMed is currently
researching next generation humidification technology that we hope will allow us to develop a Heat
and Moisture Exchanger for full faced masks with the desired humidification performance in the
future.
