Transcend AirMist HME Kit

About the Transcend AirMist HME Adapter

The Transcend HME adapter is a two-piece plastic housing unit for the AirMist HME cartridge and is necessary to add waterless humidification to your Transcend Micro. The bottom portion of your AirMist Adapter attaches to your CPAP hose, while the top attaches to your mask. Insert an HME cartridge into the bottom part of the adapter, then attach and screw in the top of the adapter. After this, connect your hose and mask at either end and enjoy humidified air with your CPAP therapy without a bulky water chamber. 

AirMist HME Adapters should be cleaned weekly with soap and water and replaced every three months.

*Compatibility Note: The Transcend HME Adapter is only compatible with the Micro Standard 6 ft Hose or Micro AirFlex 6 ft Hose. 

*Compatibility Note: Transcend AirMist HMEs will not work on masks with extended short tubing or top-of-head hose connections, such as the AirFit P10, AirFit N20, ResMed Swift FX, AirFit F30i, DreamWear Masks, etc. The HME Adapter must be placed directly in front of your mask to capture moisture from your breath.

About the Transcend AirMist HME Cartridge

The AirMist HME Cartridge is essentially a piece of foam in a plastic shroud. The cartridge inserts into the AirMist HME Adapter to capture the moisture from your breath and redistributes it into your therapy air. AirMist HME Cartridges should be disposed of after 3 to 7 days of use and cannot be cleaned.
