Attaching a HumidAire Humidifier

Medium size (52 cm) air tubing is a necessary accessory for connecting the
VPAP unit to the HumidAire humidifier.
To set up the VPAP with the
HumidAire:
1. Fill the HumidAire with water as described in the humidifier manual.
2. Place the filled water chamber inside the HumidAire. Connect the
medium (52 cm) air tubing to the right connector port, and the long air
tubing (2 m or 3 m) to the left connector port on the humidifier (G-1).
Close the HumidAire lid.
3. Place the VPAP on top of the HumidAire (G-2). Do not place the VPAP
unit underneath the humidifier. (This is to avoid water spilling into the
unit.)
4. Connect the free end of the medium air tubing to the air outlet of the
VPAP (G-3).
5. Connect the mask system to the free end of the long air tubing. The final
assembly should look like figure G-4.
6. Plug the
HumidAire power cord into a power outlet.
7. If the VPAP is not already plugged in, see Step 2 on page 7.

WARNING
Make sure that the power cord and plug are in good condition and the
equipment is not damaged.
8. Navigate to the humidifier setting (if available) in the VPAP menu and
select "HUMIDAIRE". See “How to Use the Detailed Menu (if enabled by
your clinician)” on page 20.
