ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP ClimateLineAir Heated Tubing
The ResMed ClimateLineAir heated tube is specifically designed for the AirSense 10 series of CPAP machines as well as the AirCurve 10 series of BiPAP machines.
The tubing works in conjunction with the AirSense/AirCurve 10's built-in HumidAir heated humidifier and the machine's advanced Climate Control system. When the ClimateLineAir heated tube is plugged into an AirSense/AirCurve 10 device, it enables Climate Control Auto, a setting which automatically adjusts the temperature and humidity levels based on the user's environment to prevent dry mouth, rainout and nasal congestion. The ClimateLineAir tubing uses its advanced temperature-sensing technology to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the length of the tube, thereby preventing condensation buildup that causes rainout.
Featuring a slim, 15mm inner diameter, the ResMed ClimateLineAir heated tubing is lightweight and flexible, making it easy to manage during sleep. The tube is compatible with all CPAP masks with standard 22mm diameter connectors, offering users more freedom when selecting a CPAP mask.

Why Do You Need a Heated Tube?

Heated CPAP tubing serves one primary purpose: preventing moisture buildup in the tube. The heated and humidified air from your CPAP machine cools as it travels from the machine to your face, leading to condensation buildup that, in extreme cases, result in water sloshing around in your hose and mask. If there is a draft nearby (e.g., you sleep with a fan on or near the window), or if you sleep with the AC on, the odds of this happening is even greater.
Condensation in your CPAP tubing is a problem as air flowing past the water droplets can create loud popping sounds that disrupt your sleep. Excess condensation or rainout can result in water splashing onto your face or even into your nose!
Using a heated hose solves these problems because the heated hose helps maintain a constant temperature throughout your CPAP circuit. This temperature control insulates the air inside the tubing from the cooler temperature in its surroundings. As an added bonus, you can even adjust the temperature in the heated hose for your comfort, making this a great upgrade to the standard hose!
