Using a respiratory humidifier prevents the upper airways of the patient drying out during
therapy.
Six humidifier stages can be set (1 = low heating output to 6 = maximum heating output).
The most favorable setting for you will depend on room temperature and humidity, so the
ideal setting will vary with the season and ambient conditions. Preset humidifier stage 3 is
adequate under "normal" conditions.
If the temperature is 23 °C and humidity is 70 %, a humidity of 100 % can be achieved at
humidifier stage 6 and a flow rate of 20 l/min.
