What’s included

1x CPAP Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME)

Generic CPAP Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME)

The Z1/Z2 generic Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) offers heated humidification without the use of a bulky humidifier. Unlike many other HMEs which work exclusively with the machine they are designed for, the Breas Z1/Z2 generic HME is compatible with all CPAP and BiPAP machines. It can be attached to any tubing and mask with standard 22mm connections. This HME is not washable and is effective at providing heated humidification for up to 7 days.

How does the CPAP HME work?
The HME traps heat and moisture from the user's exhaled breath, releasing them during the next inhalation to provide heat and humidity. Because of this design, the closer the Z1/Z2 HME is to the user, the more effective it is. To use this HME, simply attach it to the mask end of your CPAP tube prior to connecting the tubing to your mask.

This little guy really helped my sleeping

This little guy really helped my sleeping comfort! I added this to my AirMed CPAP rental when traveling overseas this spring and it really works! I felt the increased moisture in my breathing avoiding dry throat each morning!

It works great!

I have a ResMed AirMini travel machine, but I had to make some changes to the original set up. Most annoying was the HumidX that came with it blew air into my face all night. (I have a N20 nasal mask with the tube in front). So…. I bought a tubing adaptor, used regular tubing instead of the AirMini tubing that came with the machine, then added the Breas Qlite muffler, and the Breas heat and moisture exchanger (HME). This set up worked MUCH better with my N20 mask. There was sufficient moisture, and no air blowing in my face. I just bought some more for future travel.

Breas HME

It is quieter than the HumidX HME and works well for my travel CPAP.

Works well with the airmini. Appears to moisten the air a bit and keep it from being too.

Great to muffle the sound of Resmed Mini

It's a great solution for dealing with the sound issues of the resmed mini travel cpap, only downside is that they should be changed every 7 days.

Great invention

Great invention. Traveling abroad without having to search for distilled water in foreign countries, or worrying about packing distilled water and making my luggage even heavier, was a relief.

It didn't provide as much moisture as my regular Cpap but it did fine.

I recently purchased the Breas Z2 from Respshop to have for work as I am required to travel quite often. It has been a great addition as I am able to fit it in a carry on rather than needing to bring a suitcase like prior. I The only issue I found was I was more dry than normal which made longer trips a bit more uncomfortable since it does not take distilled water like my phone machine. I decided to phone in to the staff at Respshop to look for a solution, which is exactly what I got! They informed me of the heat moisture exchanger to place in line right before my mask that was able to provide me with some humidity and does not take up much space in my carry-on. My work trips are never more than a few days and each one lasts seven days which has been plenty for me. The prices at Respshop are always so reasonable. I likely would have avoided this issue from the beginning had I just called in since they knew exactly what I needed which is what I will be doing from now on. Thank you again, you know I will be back for more!

I was in a conundrum. I really wanted to go on a trip but I am a CPAP user and I just couldn't imagine travelling with the CPAP and lugging distilled water too. I decided to do some research and I found RespShop's website. I found the ResMed AirMini Auto Travel CPAP. I was shocked to learn there was such a small cpap on the market. It is similar in size to a can of soda! I soon realised the convenience of size meant there was not a humidifier. I used humidification each night. Resmed had instead a heat moisture exchanger called Humidx. A waterless humidification was just brilliant. Unfortunately, to use the Humidx product I needed to use a Resmed mask. I believed my trip was no go because I loved my Fisher and Paykel Vitera mask and I did not want a new mask. I called into Respshop to confirm and they explained with a tube connector and a six foot tube I could use my own Vitera mask! Not only that but there was another HME I could use with this set up so I had humidification after all. What a great product!

I have only used this for about 5 night so far and the one thing I noticed (but it may not be related to the CPAP) was that my mouth would be very dry if I were to wake up during the night. I often use my big home CPAP without humidity during the summer so I do not think it was the fault of this H&M Exchanger. Long story short, after using the rental for a week I bought one of these units to use for travel in the future. Fantastic device!

Good product! It works but it doesn’t last long. As directions on the package you will need to change out the heat and moisture exchanger in 7 days. I do like the concept of not having to add water for moisture.

A good product as long as you assemble this product as close to the mask as possible. I do like this product and the concept about it.

This worked very will with the DreamStation Go. I used one for 5 days and it worked well. Now I can travel internationally without worrying about the need for taking distilled water.

The Z1 Heat and Moisture Exchanger works very well and is comfortable to use in place of a a full-size humidifer and CPAP machine. It's not the same as using a humidifier, but since I travel frequently for business, so the tradeoff to save space and weight is worth it.
