I think I'll think about it for awhile. But not now. Later.

It's a real treat having it auto-adjust the pressure, instead the old manual one which was just wrong a good portion of the time (my required pressure changes depending on a number of factors). It seems like a very "civilized" machine, and adjusts the humidity to prevent rain-out as the ambient temperature changes, so it looks like I might not even need the heated tube. I'll find out this winter. 8-) Thanks everybody!

The Philips PRS1 can support an optional heated hose, but only some versions of the heated humidifiers support the heated hose. You have to get the optional upgraded humidifier if you want the heated hose option. I don't know how commonly DME's supply the heated hose compatible humidifier vs. the incompatible version.
Get the free OSCAR CPAP software here.
Useful links. Click here for information on the main alternative to CPAP. If it's midnight and a DME tells you it's dark outside, go and check it yourself.

RE: Heated Tubing - awesome/troublesome/useless/???
I have the PRS1 with the heated tube humidifier and the heated hose.
Regarding rainout, let's assume someone doesn't have any rainout issues. What will the heated hose then accomplish? Higher humidity or lower humidity -- or no change on PRS1's since it's said to have auto climate control anyway. If one doesn't need the heated hose in the summer months, what happens if someone has it "ON" anyway? Philips has a 2-page brochure just on the heated tube option... "an additional humidification solution that enhances performance, flexibility and comfort" (so does bathroom tissue, you marketing guys). "The System One with Heated Tube provides patients with Air Temperature Control [I guess through the tube temp setting 0-5] and Improved Humidification [I guess through tube humidity setting 0-3]" . I have humid=5 and temp=3 (the max'es) and the air is still pretty dry coming out. I wonder if the PRS1's auto-climate is taking over and cutting the humid automatically? Is there any way to increase humidity further? |
