aquapoint

The aquapoint is a plug-in warm-air humidifier for the respiratory
therapy device point.
It is intended to humidify the therapy air flow, in order to prevent
the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract from beco-
ming dry.
The heater output can be adjusted in stages from 0 to 5, as requi-
red by the patient’s individual demands.
The aquapoint is provided with an integrated memory ensuring
that the previously set heater stage will be preserved after the the-
rapy device has been turned off or the humidifier has been dis-
connected from the therapy device.
