Respironics REMstar Heated Humidifier
The REMstar® Heated Humidifier is designed as an integrated addition to our REMstar® family, this unique, tubeless platform brings heated humidification to a new level. Its clear, two-piece water chamber is easy to fill and is dishwasher safe. The humidifier controls are on the CPAP unit, and the Humidifiers plugs directly into the REMstar® unit – so there is only one plug going into the wall.Respironics REMstar Pass-Over Humidifier
This integrated pass-over humidifier’s revised design allows you to choose unheated humidification without sacrificing the convenience of the REMstar® heated humidifier’s sleek, integrated design.REMstar® Humidifiers Features
Temperature
The air temperature plays a key role when discussing humidification. At any given temperature air can hold a specific amount of water vapor. Basically the higher the temperature the more capacity the air has to hold water vapor.
Relative Humidity
Relative humidity is the ratio of actual water vapor in the air compared to how much water vapor the air is capable of holding (its capacity). Relative humidity's unit of measure is %.
Absolute Humidity
Absolute humidity is a measurement of actual water vapor content per volume of air, measured in milligrams of water vapor per liter of air {mg H20/L}.
Dew Point
The temperature level where a fully saturated gas begins to condense. (This is often referred to as rain out in a patient circuit.)
In the example below, the water vapor content per liter of air (absolute humidity) is identical in both cases @ 44mg H20 / L. However, the 37 degree C cube must have a relative humidity level of 100% to enable 44 mg H20 to be present when compared to a 67% relative humidity level at the higher temperature level of 45 degrees C. The warmer the temperature the greater its capacity for holding water vapor.
Difference between Cool Pass-over & Heated Humidification
Cool pass-over style humidifiers allow the air flow to pass over a pool of water and subsequently pick up water vapor by free evaporation. Typically the larger the surface area of the pool of water the more water vapor the air stream can pick up. This is why Respironics' LX Humidifier and the new REMstar Pass-over Humidifier provide additional humidification capabilities vs. a non-heated canister-type water chamber with minimal surface area.
The REMstar Heated Humidifier is also a pass-over style humidifier but it is heated. Heated pass-over style humidifiers are much more efficient at providing humidification simply by increasing the water temperature, which increases water vapor production vs. free humidification (see picture below). By increasing the water temperature, additional energy is added to the individual molecules, allowing more of them to transform from the liquid state. As a result, the heated humidifier has the capability to provide additional water vapor to the air stream vs. a typical cool pass-over design.
Bacteria and the Chamber
Heated humidification produces molecular water vapor (.0001 microns in size) that is too small to transport bacteria into the air stream that is delivered to the patient. If small amounts of bacteria are present in the chamber there is little risk to the patient. Bacteria requires a carrier and molecular water vapor cannot provide this mechanism.
Note: The humidifier chamber does offer good conditions for colonization by micro-organisms such as bacteria. This has been demonstrated over the years with other respiratory devices. This fact highlights the importance of proper and frequent cleaning of the humidifier chambers.
Distilled water vs. tap water
Most tap water contains various minerals. When a pool of water is heated and evaporated, these minerals are left behind and may cause discoloration to the aluminum plate and plastic housing of the humidifier chamber. It may adversely affect the longevity of the chamber. Distilled water has been purified and will not generate mineral residue upon evaporation and may extend the usable life of the chamber.

About Respironics
- Respironics is the leading provider of innovative solutions for the global sleep and respiratory markets. The Company’s success spans more than three decades and can be traced to a history deeply rooted in ingenuity and a passion to deliver solutions to those in need. This tradition of innovation, combined with an ability to anticipate market needs, is fundamental to the Company. It has made Respironics a name acknowledged worldwide as a pace-setter in the sleep and respiratory markets.
Respironics’ success can be attributed, in part, to its ability to anticipate the needs of the markets it serves, and to provide a range of solutions to address market challenges. Known for expertise in its core areas of sleep and respiratory, the Company is aggressive in its cultivation of promising opportunities such as delivering drugs via the respiratory pathway, seeking methods to assist “problem sleepers” and evolving educational programs to help caregivers in the Neonatal Intensive Care to nurture premature and ill newborns.
Respironics is organized into three primary groups: the Sleep and Home Respiratory Group, the Hospital Group, and the International Group. This decentralized business structure helps to ensure that the Company’s resources are channeled to efficiently meet specific market needs. Each group also has a comprehensive understanding of their markets—from present day healthcare business challenges to future opportunities for emerging technologies and exploration beyond traditional sleep and respiratory markets.
Within each group, there are three separate business units each with a specific mission to either broaden and expand existing business strongholds, or advance new and emerging markets. Empowered to innovate and problem-solve, each business unit contributes to the strength of the Company through the broad spectrum of solutions that it offers the global markets it serves.
