CAUTION: U. S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The System One Heated Humidier is an accessory for the Philips Respironics REMstar and BiPAP therapy devices to provide moisture
to the patient circuit. It is intended for use in spontaneously breathing patients weighing over 30 kg (66 lbs), in the home or hospital/ institutional environment, who use mask-applied positive pressure ventilation therapy.
Warnings
A warning indicates the possibility for injury to the user or the operator.
• Use the humidier only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only with Philips Respironics full-face masks, nasal
masks and connectors.
• Periodically inspect the humidier for signs of wear or damage. Never operate the humidier if any parts are damaged, if it is not working properly, or if the humidier has been dropped or mishandled. Do not use the humidier if the water tank is leaking or
damaged in any way. Have any damaged parts replaced before continuing use.
• Periodically inspect the humidier power cord for signs of wear or damage. If it becomes worn or damaged, contact Philips
Respironics or your home care provider for a replacement.
• The humidier must always be positioned below the breathing circuit connection at the mask and the air outlet on the device. The humidier must be level for proper operation.
• Allow the humidier heater plate and water to cool down for approximately 15 minutes before removing the water tank. A burn
may result from: touching the heater plate, coming in contact with the heated water, or touching the tank pan.
• This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• When installing the water tank, do not allow any water to spill into the humidier or therapy device.
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this device, if it is making unusual or harsh sounds, if it has been
dropped or mishandled, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, disconnect the power cord from the therapy device and discontinue use. Contact your home care provider.
• Before cleaning the humidier, always remove from the therapy device.
• Empty and clean the water tank daily to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Wipe the seal completely.
Note: Please see the “Limited Warranty” section of this manual for information on warranty coverage.
Cautions
A caution indicates the possibility of damage to the device.
• Do not place the humidier directly onto carpet, fabric, or other ammable materials.
• Do not place the device in or on any container that can collect or hold water. Take precautions to protect furniture from water damage.
• Do not ll the water tank above the maximum ll line. Damage to the humidier or therapy device may occur. If the water tank is overlled, water may leak out of the tank inlet (located on the back of the tank) when installing the tank lid.
• Use only room temperature distilled water in the tank. Do not put any chemicals or additives into the water. Possible airway
irritation or damage to the water tank may result.
• Remove the tank, empty all water, and replace the empty tank before transporting the humidifier base.
• Do not attempt to ll the water tank while it is still inside the humidier.
• To avoid spilling, do not disconnect the humidier from the therapy device with water in the tank. Remove the water tank from the humidier before disconnecting the therapy device.
• Do not turn the humidier on without the water tank installed. The Humidier setting must remain “off” if there is no water in
the water tank.
• The humidier door must be set in the open position before removing the water tank. Do not remove the water tank without making sure that the humidier door locks into the open position.
• Do not move the humidier while the water tank has water in it.
• Use a mild liquid dishwashing detergent only for either hand washing or when using a dishwasher.
• Only the hospital and institution cleaning procedures listed in this manual are recommended by Philips Respironics. Use of other cleaning and disinfecting processes, not specied by Philips Respironics, may affect the performance of the product.

plate, prior history of head trauma, and/or pneumocephalus. (Chest 1989; 96:1425-1426)

System Overview
The System One Heated Humidier attaches to the therapy device and provides an air outlet port to connect a breathing circuit. The breathing circuit is comprised of patient tubing, a mask, and in some instances a separate exhalation device. The patient tubing
can be Respironics heated tubing, 22 mm (non-heated) performance tubing or 15 mm (non-heated) performance tubing. For
information related to the mask to be used, including any need for a separate exhalation device, consult the instructions for use that
accompany both the mask and therapy device.
The System One Heated Humidier with Heated Tubing is designed to deliver humidication to provide added comfort during therapy. This humidication level is controlled through the output of the heated humidier as well as the temperature of the
optional heated tubing. Use of these two accessories allows for a comfortable level of humidity to be maintained at the mask.
The System One Heated Humidier is comprised of the following components:
• HeatedHumidier - The heated humidier is the primary source of humidication. Humidication is controlled by adjusting
the temperature of the heater plate. The heater plate is then used to heat water found in the water tank. This manual includes
instructions that explain how to set up and take of the heated humidier. For instructions on how to adjust the output of the heated humidier, refer to the instructions for use that accompanied the therapy device.
• WaterTank - The water tank stores the water that will be used by the heated humidier. This manual includes instructions that cover how to ll up and take care of the water tank.
• HeatedTubing - The heated tubing is an optional accessory that is used, along with the heated humidier, to control the provided humidication. This is accomplished by controlling the temperature of the air in order to ensure that it does not cool
down prior to reaching the mask. This manual includes instructions that cover how to connect and take care of the heated tubing.
For instructions on how to adjust the temperature of the heated tubing, refer to the instructions for use that accompanied the
therapy device.
