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.

Cleaning and maintenance
It is important that you regularly clean your AirMini machine to make
sure you receive optimal therapy. The following sections will help you
with disassembly, cleaning and checking your machine.
WARNING

Some cleaning products may damage the air tubing and affect
its function, or leave harmful residual vapours that could be
inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.
•The AirMini connectors, AirFit P10 for AirMini and AirFit N30 for
AirMini contain a vent system to prevent carbon dioxide build-
up in the mask. The vent system must be kept clean and clear of
contamination in order to function correctly. Blocking or
modifying the vent system may result in excessive carbon
dioxide rebreathing.
•Regularly clean your AirMini tubing, connectors and mask
components to receive optimal therapy and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
•Regularly inspect the humidifier and follow the cleaning and
maintenance instructions to prevent the growth of germs that
can adversely affect your health.
