Intended Use
The Evo Heated Humidifier is intended to warm and add moisture to the breathing gases for administration to a patient. It is used for patients requiring Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The addition of heated humidification to this therapy relieves the drying and irritating effects on the patient airways, which may arise from the use of a CPAP system. Use only with RemRest 900 series CPAP devices. It is portable and is intended to be used in the home, hospital, and institutional settings.
Device Story
RemRest Heated Humidifier is a respiratory accessory for CPAP devices; warms and humidifies breathing gases. Operates via conductive heating plate warming a water reservoir; air passes over water. Used in home, hospital, and institutional settings; operated by patients or clinicians. Provides heated/humidified air to patient airways to mitigate drying/irritation associated with CPAP therapy. Device connects between CPAP unit and patient interface. Includes thermal cutoff for safety. Output is humidified air stream; healthcare providers use device to improve patient comfort and compliance with CPAP therapy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only. Device performance specifications (temperature range 29.4°C to 65°C, humidity output 30 mg H2O/l @ 25 lpm, pressure drop 0.5 cm H2O @ 40 lpm) demonstrate equivalence to predicate technology.
Technological Characteristics
Heated plate humidifier; 400 ml water capacity. Power: 100-240 VAC. Temperature control settings 1-5 (29.4°C to 65°C). Includes thermal cutoff. Dimensions: 13.1" L x 8.4" W x 4.7" H; weight 2.5 lbs. dry. Standalone device for use with RemRest 900 series CPAP.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring CPAP therapy for treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) who desire heated humidification to relieve airway dryness and irritation. No contraindications.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A respiratory gas humidifier is a device that is intended to add moisture to, and sometimes to warm, the breathing gases for administration to a patient. Cascade, gas, heated, and prefilled humidifiers are included in this generic type of device.
