HC150 Heated Humidifier with hose, 2 chambers and stand

$149.00  

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 47 cpap.com customers. Read reviews.
Key Product Information

    Manufacturer: Fisher & Paykel

    Fisher & Paykel is the company that first supplied heated humidifiers specifically designed for CPAP and bilevel therapy use. This unit is rugged, reliable, small and lightweight.

    During the night, room temperatures often drop. When this occurs, humidification users commonly notice condensation and water droplets forming in the six foot hose. Many find the associated gurgling noise irritating and are often forced to drain the tubing during the night. To overcome this, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has developed the HC150 Humidifier with a unique feature - Ambient Tracking.

    Works with most machines. See below for more details.


    Returns Offered on Warranty Issues Only

In House Comments
Two versions of the HC150 are available: the 110 volt version HC150 and the 220vt version HC150AEU. The 230V version has a power cord but requires that a plug be attached by the customer.

Manufacturers do not test their Auto Adjusting Machines on the HC150, however it will work with most APAPs. APAPs which use the volume pressure of the tube to determine ideal pressure should function properly.

For GoodKnight 420S and 420E CPAP machines, please use the Sensor Line Kit for Puritan Bennett Sensor Line Machines when attaching the HC150 Humidifier.

This would not be an ideal heated humidification solution for the Virtuoso LX machine because the technology is not capable of supporting an external humidifier.

Humidifier and Funnel   July 31, 2008

(5 out of 5) by Bobby B, Pearland, TX

"I've used this same humidifier for years without any problem at all including the container to hold the water. Its never leaked. The funnel is great and the right size, not bulky and easy to travel with. The reason I got the second humidifier is one for home and one for traveling."

Best Humidity Ever   July 29, 2008

(5 out of 5) by Richmond, VA

"I have an APAP machine that has heated humidity, but felt that it wasn't giving me enough; sinuses sometimes sore in the morning. I have used this for several days now and believe I'm sleeping more soundly. It does go through significantly more distilled water but it's sure worth it knowing it's adding more moisture to my sinuses and lungs. (I also purchased a quilted hose cover that does a fantastic job of decreasing any rain out.)I would buy it again."

HC150 Heated Humidifier works better than ResMed HumidAire   July 15, 2008

(5 out of 5) by Steven C, PORTLAND, OR

"When I first started sleep therapy with a Respironics BiPap unit, it came with a Fisher & Paykel HC150 Heated Humidifier, which worked very well for me and allowed me to sleep throughout the night without waking up from a dry mouth. When the unit failed, my new medical provider's durable medical equipment division could not get a replacement unit or fix the old one, so they provided me with a HumidAire humidifier instead. That unit was very well built, but it did NOT work for me--my mouth dried out after less than an hour even at the highest setting. After trying to make it work for several months, I quit using my BiPap machine entirely and, of course, the symptoms of excessive tiredness, etc. from sleep apnea recurred. Finally, I found the HC150 unit at Cpap.com, which had it for a reasonable price and shipped it the next day. The new HC150 is working perfectly, and I am now back on BiPap therapy--it allows me to sleep through the night. I especially like the fact that the HC150 kit comes with a base and 2 HC325 water chambers and quick connect plastic pieces for the hoses, so I can keep a second chamber of water by the unit--the chamber is not quite big enough to go through the entire night, so I just switch to the second chamber without having to get up to refill the chamber with distilled water. I guess that it is the ambient control sensor in the HC150 Humidifier that makes all the difference in heating and humidifying the air to make it possible to tolerate the constant flow of pressurized air delivered by the BiPap machine. I would highly recommend the HC150 unit to anyone considering a heated humidifier for their Cpap or BiPap sleep therapy."

"My previous Fisher Paykel heated humidifier lasted two years and three months. Since Medicare will only reimburse for the purchase of a heated himidifier every five years, I was very happy to find the exact product on line for only $149. The ****** Medicare amount was $426.

The humidifier is the same as my former one except that the new model does not have the elbow connectors. The straight tubes seem to work find. The base platform secures the machine so that it won't be tipped over during the night. The instructions seem to be more thorough than the previous ones I have received, which will result in my being more careful in filling and cleaning the water container."
