ClimateLineMAX Oxygen Tubing for S9 CPAP and VPAP by ResMed
The ClimateLineMAX Oxy Tubing is designed exclusively for ResMed S9 CPAP and BiPAP machines. Featuring a built-in oxygen port, the heated ClimateLineAir Oxy Tubing seamlessly integrates supplemental oxygen with your sleep apnea therapy while maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity level throughout the night. This heated tubing is designed with an inner diameter of 19mm and standard 22mm diameter cuffs for compatibility with all CPAP masks.
What is the difference between the S9 ClimateLine Heated Tubing and ClimateLineMAX Oxy Tubing?
Both the S9 ClimateLine Tubing and ClimateLineMAX Oxy Tubing are heating tubing designed exclusively for the ResMed S9 Series. When connected to a S9 CPAP or BiPAP with a H5i Heated Humidifier, both tubing enable Climate Control which optimizes humidity and temperature for greater comfort. Both tubing also prevents condensation buildup by maintaining a consistent temperature across the length of the tube.
However, only the ClimateLineMAX Oxy Tubing is specifically designed to add oxygen therapy to the S9 without the need for an oxygen adapter. The tube features an integrated oxygen port, eliminating the need to connect an oxygen adapter to your mask which adds additional weight to the circuit.

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!
1x S9 ClimateLineMAX Oxy Tubing
I use a S9 machine and with a climate line tubing but I also use a oxygen concentrator and I normally have to use some type of adapter to plug in my other machine. Using this tubing makes a it a whole lot easier and much more convenient just hook up my tubing and plug in my concentrator into the oxy port. that simple!
