Humidification
The AirMini system uses a waterless humidifier that is designed to
provide more comfort to your therapy. This will improve the moisture
level in the air you breathe and offer relief from possible dryness.
There are different types of waterless humidifiers that vary depending
on the mask and therapy requirements:
•HumidX F20 - used with the F20 series
masks to provide more comfort during
therapy.
•HumidX™ (blue) - starting point for
finding the right level of humidification.
•HumidX Plus (gray) -improves the
humidity level further and is useful when
the ambient humidity level is very low (eg
high altitudes, on an aircraft).
Notes:
•The waterless humidifier should not be washed or immersed in
water as this will affect the performance of therapy.
•The humidifier must be replaced within 30 days of opening the
sealed pack.
•The humidifier is for single-patient, multiple-use only.

machine.
Ramp Time
Designed to make the beginning of therapy more comfortable, Ramp
Time is the period during which pressure gradually increases from a
lower start pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure.

When SmartStart is turned on, therapy starts automatically when you
breathe into your mask.
SmartStop
When SmartStop is turned on, therapy stops automatically after a few
seconds when you remove your mask.
Expiratory Pressure Relief
Designed to make therapy more comfortable, Expiratory Pressure Relief
(EPR) maintains optimal treatment during inhalation and reduces the
delivered mask pressure during exhalation.
Changing comfort features
Your AirMini machine has been set up for your needs by your provider,
but you may find that you want to make small adjustments to comfort
settings to make your therapy more comfortable.
