ResMed announces the launch of the new H4i™ heated humidifier, the latest technology in heated humidification which integrates seamlessly with 
the revolutionary S8™ Series II positive airway pressure and premium bilevel devices.
ResMed's latest in airflow dynamics and heating technology ensures that the H4i heated humidifier delivers the most humidity output of any integrated device with pressure relief. The 30% higher humidity output and 60ml greater water capacity is an added advantage for patients on very high pressures, particularly with bilevel therapy.
Benefits of humidification
Humidification helps patients feel more comfortable and therefore improves compliance. Up to 40% of nasal CPAP users experience nasal congestion and dryness of the nose and throat. Research proves that the warm, moist air that humidification provides can relieve symptoms of dryness and make therapy more comfortable. In fact, compliance gains may be realized sooner if patients start with heated humidity at CPAP initiation.1-4
“We view humidification as an essential component of comfortable therapy and critical to achieving maximum patient compliance. The new H4i heated humidifier is the highest humidity output and the quietest pressure relief device available on the market, delivering 30% more humidity than earlier generation humidifiers,” stated Simon Johnson, Director of Product Management. “The H4i will set a new standard for exceptional quality, patient ease of use and superior comfort in humidification systems. The high humidity output is especially valuable for patients who previously may have faced challenges in achieving adequate humidification. Additionally, the low cost replacement chambers address the financial challenges of customers seeking reimbursement for these accessories.”
ResMed's H4i is a fully integrated humidifier, which clicks easily into place and supports ResMed's full S8 Series II platform – from entry-level CPAP/APAP to premium VPAP™ bilevel devices. The compact design is unobtrusive in the bedroom and easily packed for travel.
Featuring user-friendly dials and a convenient flip-top lid design, it is easy for patients to use and clean.
The high-volume humidification chamber has a water capacity of 390ml, allowing for optimal humidification throughout the night. It is also available with an optional cleanable water chamber which can be easily opened for cleaning by hand or in a dishwasher.
For ordering convenience, the H4i Humidification System is also offered in Resmed's ever popular “co-packaging,” which includes a CPAP/APAP or VPAP flow generator in the same shipping carton.
