C-Series Heated Humidifier

User Guide

Thank you for choosing the ResMed C-Series Heated Humidifier. The C-Series Heated

Humidifier is designed to humidify (moisten) the air delivered to your airway during

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy. The C-Series Heated Humidifier

attaches to your ResMed C-Series flow generator with a simple latch mechanism.

This user guide contains the information you need for the correct use of your C-Series

Heated Humidifier.

Intended Use

The C-Series Heated Humidifier is indicated for humidification of the air delivered from

the ResMed C-Series CPAP System.

Contraindication

The C-Series Heated Humidifier is contraindicated for use with patients whose upper

(supraglottic) airway has been bypassed. Please also refer to your C-Series flow

generator user guide for contraindications associated with CPAP therapy.

Connecting the C-Series Heated Humidifier

WARNING

•Make sure the flow generator is switched off and unplugged at the

power outlet before connecting or disconnecting the humidifier.

•Always remove the water chamber before connecting or disconnecting

the humidifier and the flow generator.

1. Disconnect the flow generator power cord from the socket at the rear of the flow

generator.

2. Fit the connector seal to the air outlet on the flow generator. Ensure the connector

seal is fully seated over the air outlet.

3. Place the humidifier base on a firm, level surface near your bed at a level lower than

your sleeping position. Ensure the surface is not sensitive to heat and moisture, or

use a protective mat.

4. Align and place the flow generator on the humidifier base.

5. Connect the (black) humidifier signal cable into the signal cable socket, and the

(gray) power transfer cable into the power socket at the rear of the flow generator.

Do not attempt to use the system unless both cables are connected to the flow

generator.

6. Use the power cord supplied with the C-Series Tango flow generator and connect it

to the humidifier power cord socket.

7. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet. When the combined

C-Series system is powered, the green indicator lights on the flow generator and

humidifier turn on.

Attaching and Detaching the Water Chamber

WARNING

Take care when handling your humidifier. Allow ten minutes for the heater

plate and any excess water to cool.

English

Attaching the Water Chamber

Press down the release latch on the humidifier and carefully slide the filled water

chamber onto the heater plate. The release latch springs back to hold the water

chamber in place.

Detaching the Water Chamber

1. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and allow ten minutes for the heater

plate and any excess water to cool.

2. Detach the air tubing from the water chamber.

3. Press down the release latch on the humidifier and carefully slide the water

chamber from the humidifier base.

4. Discard any excess water.

Filling the Water Chamber

WARNING

•Do not overfill the water chamber, as water may enter the flow generator

and air tubing.

•Remove the water chamber from the humidifier before filling it with

water.

CAUTION

Do not use any additives (eg, scented oils and perfumes). They may reduce

the humidification output of the humidifier and/or cause deterioration of the

water chamber materials.

Carefully fill the water chamber to the maximum water level mark with distilled water

only.

Fill with distilled water only. Using distilled water will prolong the life

of your water chamber. Water from the faucet typically contains

minerals that may damage the base of your water chamber.

Setting the Humidity Level

The aim of humidification is to deliver moist air to your mask, but to avoid having

condensation form in the air tubing. The temperature and humidity of the surrounding

air will affect the setting you need.

You can adjust the humidity setting at any time before or during therapy, to find the

most comfortable and effective setting.

To set the humidity level press or on the flow generator; notice that the screen

displays “H” and the selected humidity level (eg, H. 3).

The OFF setting switches heated humidification off and delivers minimum

humidification. A setting of 6 delivers maximum humidification.

The humidification setting remains displayed on the screen for five seconds.

Starting Therapy

1. Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet of the water chamber

and the other end to your mask.

2. Fit your mask as described in your mask user instructions.

3. If necessary, set the humidity level as described in the section “Setting the

Humidity Level”.

4. Press on the flow generator to start therapy. Therapy starts straight away. The

heating indicator on the flow generator lights when the humidifier is on.

5. Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your

sleep.

WARNING

Do not leave a long length of air tubing around the top of your bed. It could

twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.

Stopping Therapy

To stop your therapy at any time, remove your mask and press on the flow

generator.

Inspect the water chamber for wear and deterioration. Replace the water chamber if

any component has cracked, become cloudy or pitted. Replace immediately if there is

any leakage from the water chamber.

If you notice white powder or deposits in the water chamber:

1. Fill the water chamber to the maximum water level mark with a solution of one part
