DreamStation Humidifier Flip Lid Seal

Travel Tips

Do not move your Respironics system when the humidifier chamber is filled with water. Always remove the tank from the DreamStation heated humidifier and extract all of the water when preparing to travel. After the tank has been emptied, let the chamber air dry completely away from direct sunlight. When all the equipment is dry, place the device in a carry-on bag to help protect the unit. Per the manufacturer, the carrying bag cannot guarantee the safety of the equipment when checked as luggage, so use the bag as a carry-on only.

Tips to Ensure the Seal is Correctly Positioned

Align the hole of the seal around the form of the CPAP humidifier outlet port. Position the wire channel in the center of the hole with the bottom of the air outlet. Gently press the center and the border of the seal to solidify the grip around the outlet.

Caring for the DreamStation Humidifier Lid Seal

The seal found under the top of the humidifier lid is designed to fasten the lid to the humidifier when closed. On occasion, the DreamStation flip lid seal may need to be cleaned or replaced to sustain a secure grip. If the seal is too dirty or becomes damaged, it could affect the quality of your CPAP therapy air pressure or humidification levels. Follow these steps when cleaning the seal:

• For simple cleanings, use a damp cloth to wipe the circumference of the seal.
• For more complex cleanings, carefully remove the seal and place it in warm water. Use mild soap to cleanse the seal and continue to rinse with warm water. Wipe the seal to remove excess water and place it out of the sunlight to air dry completely.
