Uses membrane technology to humidify the dry oxygen for oxygen therapy patients. It offers a practical, patient-friendly, and maintenance-free alternative to common systems like bubblers.
Oxygen therapy is common for COPD and other respiratory diseases, but the dry air can irritate nasal passages, dry the mouth, and chap lips. To combat this, humidification is recommended. The Pentair Humidiflow Humidifier offers a silent, maintenance-free alternative to noisy bubblers. It adds moisture from the ambient air directly to the oxygen stream for patient comfort. This unit can be integrated into stationary systems by manufacturers, HME dealers, doctors, and respiratory therapists, providing a sustainable advantage.
The Pentair Humidiflow Humidifier can be easily fitted inside any oxygen concentrator, operating silently and reliably without users even noticing. This maintenance-free solution has no moving parts and can be customized for any existing or new concentrator design.
The advanced hollow-fiber membranes act as a moisture exchanger. The oxygen stream flows through the inside of the membranes, while ambient air -drawn in by the suction of the air compressor- flows in the opposite direction on the outside of the membrane.
Moisture from the atmosphere diffuses across the membrane wall into the dry oxygen stream, humidifying the oxygen and allowing the patient to breathe comfortably.
