Transcend Micro AirMist Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) Kit
Enjoy the comforts of humidification without the hassle of packing distilled water with the AirMist™ Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) Kit. Designed for the Transcend Micro CPAP, the AirMist HME is compact, lightweight and the perfect companion to the world’s smallest CPAP.
Say goodbye to dry mouth and nasal irritation! The HME humidifies the air using heat and moisture captured from your exhaled breath, ensuring a more comfortable sleep therapy experience.
Easy to Use
No additional adapters are needed to use the AirMist HME with your Micro CPAP. It seamlessly integrates into your existing setup — just connect one end of the AirMist adapter to your Micro CPAP tubing and the other to your CPAP mask.
Replaceable Cartridges
Each kit comes with 4 replaceable HME cartridges and an AirMist HME adapter which houses the HME cartridge. Each HME cartridge is individually packaged and is good for up to 7 days once opened.
Universal Compatibility
The Micro AirMist HME works with all CPAP masks* with standard 22mm connections for maximum flexibility.
*The Transcend AirMist HME works best when positioned closer to the mask. Masks with a short tubing may experience slightly reduced humidification due to the greater distance heat and moisture need to travel to reach the HME.
FAQ
How do I clean my AirMist HME Kit?
The AirMist adapter can be cleaned weekly with mild soap and warm water. The AirMist HME cartridges are not washable.
- Remove the HME cartridge from the adapter.
- Soak the AirMist Adapter in warm, soapy water.
- Wash the interior and exterior of the adapter with a lint-free cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct sunlight.
How often should I replace the AirMist HME cartridges?
Once the HME cartridge is opened, it is good for up to a week.
Can I purchase replacement AirMist HME cartridges separately?
Yes, replacement AirMist HME cartridges can be purchased separately in packs of 8.
What tubing can I use with the AirMist HME?
The AirMist HME is compatible with both the Transcend Micro AirFlex™ 6 Ft Hose and the Micro Standard 6 Ft Hose.
So far, so good with these. I don't think anything can equal a home unit with the water tank on it, but this has kept me from waking all dry and crusty while traveling.
For my P-10 mask, the connection with the Transcend HME is a clear acrylic to clear acrylic "pressure fit" rather than a soft seal (i.e., it's not like a hose connector). The fitting on the P-10 goes in less than halfway and can wobble loose, if not pressed tightly enough, but might crack, if pressed too hard. It "works"...but it's poorly engineered.
Thank you for your feedback William.
I see you are renting the Airmini, the rep may have suggested a cost effective waterless humidification for your short term rental. However, we will be happy to share your feedback with the manufacturer Transcend.
Since you have the P10 you can purchase the Airmini P10 Set up pack which comes with the HumidX, the humidifier made for the Airmini, the cost for the set up pack is $165.00 and I see an online sale right now for $140.25. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions!
