Respironics RemStar 60 Auto heated tube available? - jaw2004 - 10-25-2017

Does anyone know if I can get a heated hose for my husband's REMstar Auto?  His machine is about 4 years old, and he quit using it within the first year....rainout was a big issue.  He's giving it a try again, after seeing my success on therapy.  However, the rainout is starting to be a problem again.  

He doesn't remember who his sleep doc or DME even was... we each had separate insurance through our employers at that time.  I'm willing to upgrade his entire machine if necessary, but it's really a good machine except for this issue.  We can manage the tubes, filters, and masks for him right now, without going through the hassle of a new sleep study right now.  

The label on the bottom says it is a 560P.   Ive tried asking a couple of the online DMEs, but their answers weren't very clear for me.  

Thanks in advance!

These are easily available from our online suppliers and Amazon.  $33.55 with Prime shipping, and similar prices at the suppliers.  Search for PR 60 Series Heated Tube.

Note if you have never used a heated tube on this machine you need the conversion kit which includes a new humidifier lid with electrical connectors, new higher output AC adapter and the heated tube.  Those kits cost about $75 at Supplier #1 or $69.95 on Amazon.  Search for Heated Tube Upgrade Kit for PR System One 60 Series Humidifiers. If you don't see that raised electrical connector on the humidifier outlet, you need the conversion kit.

Amazon for about $33.00. (Heated hose only)
Buy a fleece tube cover, it helps with rainout.
