IRE
3i?
The H UMID A IRE 3i is designed to form a single unit with a ResMed CPAP flow
generator. The combined unit provides humidification during CPAP therapy, and can
make therapy more comfortable.
You may have experienced nasal congestion or dryness of the nose, mouth, or throat
during CPAP therapy. These symptoms are caused by dry climates, cold air
temperatures, the airflow delivered from your flow generator, or mouth leak. Moist air
may help relieve these symptoms of dryness.
Refer to your flow generator manual to see whether it is compatible with the
H
UMID A IRE 3i. Contact your equipment supplier or ResMed office if you require
further information.
