The Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) for CPAP machines is a simple, water-free way to add humidification to your therapy. It works by capturing heat and moisture from your breath and reusing it as you inhale, helping to prevent dryness and improve comfort without needing water.

Designed to be compatible with most CPAP machines and masks (except those with a short tube). Ideal for travel. 

Returns Policy
CPAP Supplies Guide
  • Replace the HME weekly or after 7 nights of use to ensure effective humidification and prevent bacterial buildup.
  • Ensure the HME is properly installed between your mask and hose to avoid air leaks.
  • Pack enough HMEs when traveling to maintain comfort without bulky humidifiers or distilled water.
  • Avoid using the HME with CPAP setups that have a short tube, as it may interfere with proper humidification.
  • Store unused HMEs in a cool, dry place to maintain their effectiveness and longevity.
  • Replace the HME sooner if you notice reduced moisture retention, any changes in comfort or therapy effectiveness.

Everything you need to know about the HME

Essential Humidification for CPAP Therapy

Humidification is crucial in CPAP therapy to prevent dryness, irritation, and congestion caused by the continuous airflow. It keeps your airways moist, enhances comfort, and helps maintain therapy adherence by reducing side effects like dry mouth and sore throat.

Efficient Waterless Humidification

The Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) captures heat and moisture from your breath and reuses it with each inhale, offering effective humidification without the need for water chambers. This approach simplifies CPAP therapy, providing a straightforward alternative to traditional humidifiers.

Compatibility

This HME unit is designed to work with most of the CPAP machines and masks, as long as they don’t have a short tube attached. Its flexibility makes it easy to integrate into different CPAP setups, adding convenience to your therapy routine.

Dry Mouth Prevention

By recirculating the moisture from your exhaled breath, the HME helps prevent the common issue of dry mouth. It provides humidification without any added bulk and improves comfort throughout the night.

No Cleaning Required

Don’t have to worry about regular cleaning with the HME. This is a disposable unit and requires no maintenance, helping you save time and effort while you get clean CPAP therapy.

Weekly Replacement

Each HME is designed to last up to 7 nights before needing replacement. Regularly changing the HME ensures that you get an optimal humidity level and a comfortable breathing during your sleep therapy.

Easy to Use and Install

The HME is user-friendly and requires no complicated setup. Simply connect the moisture exchanger between your CPAP mask and machine hose. Once connected, it starts working automatically.

Cost-Effective Humidification

The HME is a less expensive alternative to traditional humidifiers that requires distilled water refills. It provides an economical option if you are looking for efficient humidification without the ongoing costs of the conventional humidifiers.

Humidification On-The-Go

The HME is perfect for travel and portability. Its compact and lightweight construction allows you to easily pack and use it anywhere without carrying distilled water or a bulky humidifier wherever you go.

What is the purpose of CPAP tubing?

CPAP tubing connects the CPAP machine to the mask, delivering pressurized air for therapy.

Are all CPAP hoses the same size?

Most standard CPAP hoses have a 22mm connection and are 6 feet long, but slim (15mm) and heated tubing options vary by manufacturer.

How often should I replace my CPAP hose?

CPAP tubing should be replaced every 3-6 months or sooner if it shows signs of wear, discoloration, or damage.

What is the difference between standard and heated CPAP tubing?

Standard tubing delivers air at room temperature, while heated tubing prevents condensation (rainout) and enhances comfort by maintaining a consistent air temperature.

Can I use any CPAP hose with my machine?

Not always. Some CPAP machines require specific tubing, such as heated or slimline hoses, so check compatibility with your device.

How do I clean my CPAP tubing?

Wash the hose weekly with warm water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely.

Can I use a CPAP hose cleaning brush?

Yes, a hose cleaning brush helps remove buildup inside the tubing, keeping it free from dust, mold, and bacteria.

Can CPAP tubing be dried in the sun?

It’s best to air-dry in a clean, ventilated area. Direct sunlight may weaken the material over time.

Why is there water in my CPAP hose?

This is called rainout, caused by temperature differences between the room and humidified air. Using heated tubing or a hose cover can help.

What should I do if my CPAP hose is making noise?

Check for kinks, loose connections, or condensation buildup. If the noise persists, replacing the tubing may help.

Can I travel with CPAP tubing?

Yes! For compact travel CPAPs, consider a shorter hose (4ft) for convenience.
