Overview

The Breas Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) is a waterless, passive humidification cartridge with a blue foam element that captures moisture from your exhaled breath and returns it on inhalation. No water chamber, no electricity, no heated tubing required. This listing is for one (1) single HME unit, retail SKU HD60-2100.

Each HME is disposable and single-use across one week of therapy.

Breas states: "Discard after 7 days or when it is no longer providing humidification." The HME is not cleanable and is not designed for reuse beyond its 7-day service life. Between uses, Breas instructs you to store the HME in a sealed plastic bag. Leaving the HME exposed to open air after opening shortens its effective life because it begins collecting ambient moisture immediately.

Installation: connect the wide end to your mask and the narrow (15 mm) end to your CPAP tube. Breas specifies: "Be sure both connections are fully seated and secure." The HME works with standard CPAP masks compliant with ISO 17510-2 (nasal, full face, and nasal pillow styles) and with standard 22 mm or slim 15 mm CPAP tubing. It is not compatible with masks that have a short tube on the mask side, including the ResMed AirFit P10 and AirFit N20, and it is not compatible with the ResMed AirMini Setup Pack. If you use supplemental oxygen, note that Breas states this device is not approved for use with supplemental oxygen or any supplementary gas.

Important Tips

  • Install with the wide end (19 mm) connected to your mask and the narrow end (15 mm) connected to your CPAP tube. Both connections must be fully seated and secure.
  • Store the HME in a sealed plastic bag between uses. Leaving it exposed to open air after opening shortens its effective life because it collects ambient moisture.
  • Replace the HME after 7 days of use or sooner if you notice humidification has weakened. Do not attempt to extend its life by cleaning it.
  • Do not attempt to clean, rinse, or dry the HME. It is disposable and is not designed to be cleaned.
  • Keep the HME in its sealed packaging until you are ready to install it for the first time.
  • Do not use this HME if you require supplemental oxygen. Breas states this system is not approved for use with supplemental oxygen or any supplementary gas.
  • Do not use with the ResMed AirFit P10, ResMed AirFit N20, or the ResMed AirMini Setup Pack. These masks or systems use connectors that are not compatible with this HME.
  • If you live in a very low-humidity environment, note that the HME recycles moisture from your own breath. A water-based CPAP humidifier may provide more consistent humidification in very dry conditions.

Breas HME Heat Moisture Exchanger for CPAP

One Unit Per Order

This listing contains one (1) HME unit, retail SKU HD60-2100, Breas part number 005998. There are no multi-pack options on this listing. Order the quantity you need.

Disposable, 7-Day Lifecycle

Breas states: discard after 7 days or when the HME is no longer providing humidification. It is not cleanable and is not designed for extended reuse. Plan to replace it weekly during active therapy.

Waterless, Passive Humidification

The HME captures moisture from your exhaled breath and returns it on inhalation. No water chamber, no heated tube, no electricity. Compact enough for travel use.

Correct Installation Orientation

Connect the wide end (19 mm) to your mask and the narrow end (15 mm) to your CPAP tube. Breas specifies that both connections must be fully seated and secure. Installing it backwards reduces effectiveness and may cause air leaks.

Store in a Sealed Plastic Bag Between Uses

Breas instructs you to store the HME in a sealed plastic bag between uses. The HME begins collecting ambient moisture as soon as the package is opened. Storing it unsealed reduces its useful life before the 7-day maximum.

Compatible Masks and Tubing

Works with most standard CPAP masks compliant with ISO 17510-2, including nasal, full face, and nasal pillow styles with a standard 22 mm mask connection. Compatible with standard 22 mm CPAP tubing and slim 15 mm tubing.

Masks That Are Not Compatible

Not compatible with the ResMed AirFit P10 or AirFit N20 (short tube on the mask side) or the ResMed AirMini Setup Pack (proprietary connector). Confirm your mask connection type before ordering.

Supplemental Oxygen: Not Approved

Breas states this system is not approved for use with supplemental oxygen or any supplementary gas. Do not connect supplementary oxygen to any accessory in this circuit. Consult your physician if you use supplemental oxygen therapy.

FSA/HSA Eligible, Rx Required

This item is FSA and HSA eligible. US Federal law restricts it to sale by or on the order of a physician. A valid CPAP prescription is required.

FAQs

How many HMEs are included in this order?

One (1) HME unit per order. This listing is for a single Heat Moisture Exchanger, SKU HD60-2100. If you need multiple units, you will need to order them separately.

Is this HME reusable or disposable?

Disposable. Breas states: discard after 7 days or when the HME is no longer providing humidification. It is not cleanable and is not designed for reuse beyond 7 days of therapy use.

Which end connects to the mask and which end connects to the tube?

The wide end connects to your mask. The narrow (15 mm) end connects to your CPAP tube. Breas specifies that both connections must be fully seated and secure before use.

Does this HME work with the ResMed AirFit P10 or AirFit N20?

No. The AirFit P10 and AirFit N20 have a short tube on the mask side that is not compatible with this HME. Verify your mask has a standard 22 mm elbow or port before ordering.

Does this HME work with the ResMed AirMini Setup Pack?

No. The ResMed AirMini uses a proprietary hose connector that is not compatible with this HME.

Can I use this HME if I also use supplemental oxygen?

No. Breas states the Z2 system is not approved for use with supplemental oxygen or any supplementary gas, and that you should not connect supplementary oxygen to any accessory connected to the Z2. Consult your prescribing physician for alternatives if you require supplemental oxygen.

How should I store the HME between uses?

In a sealed plastic bag. Breas instructs you to store the HME in a sealed plastic bag between uses. The HME begins collecting moisture from the air as soon as the package is opened, so keeping it sealed preserves its effective life.

Will this HME work well in a very dry climate?

Results vary. The HME works by recapturing moisture from your own exhaled breath, so its performance depends partly on how much moisture your breath contains. In very low-humidity environments, some users report less effective humidification. A water-based humidifier may be more suitable in those conditions.

How is this different from a water-based CPAP humidifier?

A water-based humidifier adds moisture using a heated water chamber. This HME only recycles the moisture already in your exhaled breath. No water or electricity is needed, which makes it convenient for travel, but it delivers less total humidity than a water-based system.

Is this item FSA or HSA eligible?

Yes. This product is FSA and HSA eligible.

Do I need a prescription to purchase this HME?

Yes. US Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. You may be asked to confirm or upload a valid CPAP prescription at checkout.

Which CPAP masks does this HME work with?

It works with most standard CPAP masks compliant with ISO 17510-2, including standard nasal masks, full face masks, and nasal pillow masks that have a standard 22 mm connection on the mask side. It does not work with masks that have a short tube on the mask side, such as the ResMed AirFit P10 and AirFit N20.

How often should I replace the HME?

Up to 7 days, then replace it. Breas says to discard the HME after 7 days, or sooner if it stops providing noticeable humidification.

Can you sleep with an HME every night?

Yes. The HME is made for nightly CPAP therapy across its 7-day life. Replace it after a week and store it in a sealed bag between nights to preserve it.
