Description
The ResMed ClimateLine heated tubing is 6ft in length and solely designed to be used with the ResMed S9 Series CPAP and VPAP machines. The tubing has an electrical connector at one end that will only connect to a ResMed H5i Heated Humidifier. This electrical connection allows the tubing to heat the element contained in the corrugated exterior of the tube. The heating of the element keeps the humidity that is being provided by the H5i Heated Humidifier consistent throughout the tube and reduces the chance of "rainout" (excessive condensation build up in the tube or mask).
The heating element is a wire that goes along the corrugated exterior of the tube but does not affect the flexibility of the tubing. The smooth interior allows the cleaning process to be easier as it reduces any chances of soap or water being left inside after cleaning and helps the drying process.
Special Features
ResMed S9 Series CPAP and VPAP™ machines have sensors in the H5i Heated Humidifier that constantly monitor the room temperature and humidity to adjust the temperature of the heating element in the tube to provide a consistent level of humidity to the user's mask.
This process helps reduce "rainout" as rainout occurs when the temperature in the room drops, the temperature of the air inside the tube also drops. At lower temperatures, the amount of water vapor that can be held by the air then decreases and condensation (rainout) can form in the tube.
By keeping the air temperature in the tube constant, the Climate Control system can automatically adjust to changes in ambient conditions to maintain a constant, comfortable humidity level. Rainout is avoided without needing to reduce the humidity delivered.
Only use with ResMed's S9 Series machines.
