HC150 Heated Humidifier With Hose, 2 Chambers and Stand

HC150 Heated Humidifier Kit Overview
The Fisher & Paykel HC150 Heated Humidifier With Hose, 2 Chambers and Stand is a versatile, stand alone heated humidification kit which may be used with most any CPAP or BiPAP machines. The Ambient Tracking feature adjusts to changes in room temperature to reduce rainout while delivering humidification.
Fisher & Paykel, the company that first developed heated humidifiers specifically designed for CPAP therapy, offers the HC150 Heated Humidifier With Hose, 2 Chambers and Stand. The HC150 is rugged, reliable, small and lightweight.
Fisher & Paykel HC150 includes Ambient Tracking which allows the humidifier to consider the room temperature when delivering moisture to the air stream. During the night, room temperatures often drop. When this occurs, condensation and water droplets may form in the six foot hose. This accumulation of water in the hose is called rainout. The Ambient Tracking feature reduces the formation of rainout making therapy more comfortable.
The HC150 can be used with most any CPAP or BiPAP machine as long as an integrated humidifier is not used and if the machine does NOT have a built in humidifier. See the Important Tips tab of this page for other compatibility statements.

110 Volt Operation:
This version of the HC150 is for operation with 110 volt system as is found in the United States. It cannot be used with 220 volt power.
Water & Capacity:
The HC150 holds 400ml of water. Do NOT fill the chamber past the Max Fill Line. The manufacturer recommends using only distilled water in the humidifier chamber. Do not use tap water. Discard any remaining water after each use.
Compatibility Comments:
Manufacturers do not test their Auto Adjusting Machines on the HC150, however it will work with most APAPs.
A few older machines used a sensor line to monitor pressure response.They are not compatible with the SC150. Examples of such machines: GoodKnight 420S and 420E CPAP machines.
The HC150 is not compatible with the Virtuoso LX machine as it does not have the technology to support an external humidifier.
Maximum Fill Level Tips
- Do not fill the water tank above the maximum fill line. Damage to the humidifier or therapy device may occur. If the water tank is overfilled, water may leak out of the tank inlet (located on the top of the tank) when installing the tank lid.
- When disconnecting the hose from the tank outlet, be careful to ensure that the hose is not holding water. Water could travel through the hose into the machine.
- Use only room temperature distilled water in the tank. Do not put any chemicals or additives into the water. Possible airway irritation or damage to the water tank may result.
- Remove the tank, empty all water, and replace the empty tank before transporting the humidifier base.
- Do not attempt to fill the water tank while it is inside the humidifier.
- To avoid spilling, do not disconnect the humidifier from the therapy device with water in the tank. Remove the water tank from the humidifier before disconnecting the therapy device.
- Do not turn the humidifier on without the water tank installed. The Humidifier number setting must remain on 0 if there is no water in the water tank.
- The humidifier door must be set in the open position before removing the water tank. Do not remove the water tank without making sure that the humidifier door locks into the open position.
- Do not move the humidifier while the water tank has water in it.

Nasal congestion also leads to mouth breathing, which perpetuates the problem of dryness. If this is an issue for you, try a heated humidifier.
In our experience, it is common for CPAP users to report that their therapy is greatly enhanced by the use of a heated humidifier.
There are three types of heated humidifiers:
- Stand Alone Humidifiers
Stand Alone Humidifiers can be used with almost any machine as long as an integrated humidifier is not being used and the machine does NOT have a built in humidifier. The Fisher & Paykel HC150 Heated Humidifier With Hose, 2 Chambers and Stand is a stand alone heated humidifier that includes ambient tracking to keep the humidity consistent independent of room temperature.
- Integrated Humidifiers
Integrated Humidifiers connect directly to the machine the humidifier was made to be used with. This provides the convenience of being able to remove the humidifier from the machine for traveling or other purposes. Here are some of the integrated humidifiers we carry:
PR System One 60 Series Heated Tube Humidifier with Heated Tube
Transcend Heated Humidifier
XT Heated Humidifier
- Built In Humidifiers
Built In Humidifiers are permanently affixed to their machine and cannot be removed. The chamber can still be removed for cleaning, however the heating element is a part of the machine. The advantage of built in humidifiers is they generally take up less space than a machine with an integrated or stand alone humidifier. Here are some machines that have a built in humidifier:
AirSense™ 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier
ICON Auto CPAP Machine with Built-In Heated Humidifier and ThermoSmart Heated Hose
iCH Auto CPAP Machine with PVA and Built-In Heated Humidifier
+ See More
Air flows from the CPAP through a short hose to the humidifier chamber where the air "passes over" the water to pick up whatever moisture it can. The air then flows into the six foot hose to the mask.
Passover humidifiers may provide sufficient moisture with CPAPs set at lower-end pressures. However, if the moisture is not sufficient there is no way to increase the amount of moisture added. The water is room temperature. In cold climates, the water temperature will drop causing the CPAP air to become very cold, and causing the amount of moisture to be reduced.
An advantage of an integrated humidifier is that it works very closely with the CPAP machine to deliver humidification. Also, an integrated humidifier is a compact unit that uses fewer parts to provide moisture to the user.
A disadvantage of the integrated humidifier is the user will receive less moisture when it is used with a passover humidifier. The smaller surface area effects the amount of moisture produced. Also, a integrated humidifier will only function with the CPAP for which it was designed.
You can see if your machine has an integrated humidifier option by reviewing our Compare Charts.
An example of an integrated humidifier is the PR System One Heated Humidifier as seen below attached to a machine in the PR System One line.

Here are some of the integrated humidifiers we carry:
DreamStation Heated Humidifier
Transcend Heated Humidifier
IntelliPAP 2 Heated Humidifier with Pulse Dose Humidification
PR System One 60 Series Heated Tube Humidifier with Heated Tube
The advantage of a "built-in" humidifier is its compact shape, which operates on fewer parts. This integrated design helps to ensure optimum moisturized comfort and effectiveness when CPAP therapy and humidification are used together. Also, it allows an option for the humidification to be turned off while the CPAP is blowing.
A disadvantage is that a built in humidifier may produce less moisture if used as passover because the surface area is typically smaller. Also, since the humidifier is "built in" to the machine, detaching it is not an option. This can be an issue for frequent travelers. Lastly, if the machine or humidifier stops working, the entire unit must be sent in for repair or replacement, not just the component that failed.
An example of a machine with a built in humidifier is the ICON Auto CPAP Machine with Built In Heated Humidifier and SensAwake as seen below.

Here are some other machines we carry with built-in humidifiers:
AirSense™ 10 CPAP Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier
AirSense™ 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier
iCH Auto CPAP Machine with PVA and Built-In Heated Humidifier

The advantage of a stand alone humidifier is the fact that it may be used with any CPAP machine.
The main disadvantages are that the size is often larger than either a "built in" or integrated humidifier and that a short hose is needed to connect it to the CPAP machine.
An example of a stand alone humidifier is the Fisher & Paykel HC150 Heated Humidifier as seen below.

The image below from Fisher & Paykel explains how rainout is formed. Warm, moist air leaves the heated humidifier and travels through the CPAP tube. As air flows through the tube, the temperature of the room causes the tube to cool. As the tube cools, the air inside releases its moisture, and creates condensation in the hose.
Solutions to rainout include:
- Raise the temperature of your bedroom.
- Keep your CPAP machine at the same level as your bed.
- Insulate your tubing with a hose cover like Snugglehose.
- Reduce the temperature setting on your heated humidifier.
- Purchase a CPAP machine with a rainout reduction comfort feature.
- Some machine systems offer a compatible heated CPAP hose which maintains the temperature from the machine all the way to the mask, reducing the occurrence of rainout. The list of available heated hoses can be found here: Hoses With Heating Coils.
- If your machines uses a standard hose, consider the Hybernite Heated Rainout Control System.

To care for your humidifier simply empty and clean the water tank each morning. Only distilled water should be used in the humidifier to avoid mineral deposit build up.

I have been using this product for the past 20+ years. They usually last about 10 years, which seems like a reasonable timeframe for the price. This heater is fantastic. I only wish there was one improvement and that is the switch. Lots of times when I push the button to turn it on/off, it does not respond and takes another push or two. A nice toggle switch that can be counted on to last as long as the heater would make the heater worth more money, to me. Thank you for this excellent product!!! more...

My home CPAP machine has a humidifier built-in, but I travel often, and when I do I Bring a smaller travel CPAP with me instead. That machine doesn’t have a humidifier so every time I traveled I would suffer with severe sinus issues related to breathing in dry air all night. This heated standalone humidifier is light enough to travel with, and Works perfectly to keep my sinus happy. I am really glad I have it and I highly recommend anyone under the same circumstances to give it a try. It works perfectly and it’s light, you just have to be careful with packing the delicate water chamber. more...
