HumidX Humidifier For the Air Mini CPAP Machine
The HumidX is a small heat and moisture exchanger that improves CPAP therapy in most climates and sleep environments. It is the standard humidification system included with the N20 and P10 AirMini Auto Travel CPAP Machines.
HumidX is small, disposable, and FAA-approved for in-flight use. It fits in the 2.5L Mist Humidifier short tube that connects to your mask and can be controlled through the AirMini app.
HumidX
The Air Mini uses waterless humidification via a HumidX (Humidifier) cartridge. It is not a vaporizer, but rather a heat and moisture exchanger that provides added humidity during sleep therapy without the use of distilled water. The HumidX cartridge must be replaced every 30 days. This timeframe is measured from the date of opening, not usage. The replacement tabs are available in a package of three or six, with the standard HumidX being recommended for most climates and sleep environments, while the more powerful HumidX Plus is optimized for dry or high altitude environments such as aircraft.
The machine features a sleek design that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and can easily be concealed in a carry-on bag or backpack. In addition to being portable, the Air Mini is quiet and offers a number of premium features, including automatic start/stop, ramp mode, and data tracking. It also has an AutoRamp feature that gently increases pressure levels over time, so users can fall asleep more quickly and comfortably. A cellular connection makes it easy to synchronize sleep data and stay connected, even when you’re not near your home machine.
Like most CPAP machines, regular cleaning is necessary to keep the Air Mini functioning properly. The filter 2.5L Mist Humidifier and tubing can be washed in warm soapy water and should be submerged at least once a week. The mask can be wiped down with warm water and mild cleaner, and should be checked for leaks at least once a day. It is a good idea to clean the faceplate and mask rim regularly as well. The AirMini is a great option for travel and has been approved by the FAA for in-flight use.
How Does the AirMini Compare to Other CPAP Machines?
The Philips Respironics DreamStation Go, another popular portable CPAP, is similar to the AirMini in many ways, but there are some significant differences. The DreamStation Go has a USB port that allows for pass-through charging of a mobile device or tablet while the machine is plugged in, while the AirMini does not have this feature. The DreamStation Go is also more expensive than the AirMini, and its app integration is not as seamless.
Customers give the AirMini an average rating on Trustpilot and Google, with most praising its small size and portable functionality. However, some users note that the machine is louder than expected and complain about difficulty adjusting to the humidity component. For these reasons, we recommend seeking out additional information from a local home medical equipment retailer to determine if the AirMini is a good fit for you. Also, be sure to speak with a trusted health care provider about your sleep therapy needs before purchasing any new CPAP equipment. They can help you find a solution that is right for your unique lifestyle and condition.
