Frequently Asked Questions
What is an HME and how does it work with my CPAP?
An HME (Heat Moisture Exchanger) captures the warmth and moisture from your exhaled breath and returns it to the air you inhale, providing pass-over humidification without a heated humidifier. It's ideal for travel or when a heated humidifier isn't available or practical.
What CPAP machines is this compatible with? FAQ Answer 2:
The AirMist HME is designed for the Transcend Micro Series CPAP but is compatible with most standard CPAP machines that use standard tubing and do not already have built-in heated humidification. It connects to any standard CPAP mask without additional adapters.
What is included in the starter kit?
The kit includes one AirMist Adapter and four AirMist Cartridges, everything you need to get started with inline humidification right away.
How often do I need to replace the cartridges?
AirMist Cartridges should be replaced every 5–7 days once opened, regardless of how many nights they have been used. Regular replacement ensures optimal humidification performance and hygiene.
