How does the AirMini humidifier work?
Can be used with AirFit and AirTouch F20 full face masks to provide additional comfort during therapy. When you exhale, heat and moisture is captured and stored within the tiny paper ridges of the Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME). When you inhale, this heat and moisture is released to humidify the air you breathe in.
Do you have to use HumidX with AirMini?
Can You Use the ResMed AirMini Without the HumidX Humidifier? Yes, you can use the AirMini without humidification. Humidifiers can make using a CPAP far more comfortable, but if that’s not necessary for you the AirMini will run just fine without it.
How does HumidX plus work?
HumidX provides humidified sleep apnea therapy by capturing heat and moisture exhaled instead of hauling or buying distilled water. The humidifier filters of the HumidX™ capture this moisture from your breath and use it to humidify therapy air.
How do I use my HumidX ResMed?
From your machine’s Home screen: For humidity: Turn the dial to highlight the water drop icon; push the dial, turning the background yellow. Then turn the dial again to set the humidity (1–6, default setting is 3). Push the dial once more to set the new humidity level.

Can you use HumidX with F20 mask?
Compatible masks HumidX F20 is only compatible with the F20 full face mask.
How long does ResMed HumidX last?
HumidX F20 is ResMed’s standard waterless humidification system made specifically for the F20 full face mask. It captures heat and moisture to provide comfort and effective humidification for most climates and sleep environments. Cartridges should be replaced after 30 days of use and not suitable for washing.
How do I know if my CPAP humidifier is working?
A good tip-off as to whether your humidifier is working is to assess how quickly the water in your humidifier’s water chamber goes down. The chamber should be refilled every 2-3 days.
Why is my mouth so dry when using my CPAP machine?
Why CPAP Causes Dry Mouth Dry mouth is a normal occurrence for people who just start out on CPAP therapy simply because they are not used to the pressurized air required to help open the air passage. Dry mouth is exacerbated for people whose jaw drops open during sleep.
Why don’t traditional masks work with humidx?
Traditional masks wouldn’t work, as the moisture is exhaled straight out of vents on the mask, bypassing the HumidX disk. This is why ResMed has released proprietary masks that work with the HumidX system on the AirMini. These masks are ‘un-vented’ and rely on the vent on the HumidX system for this.
What is the difference between humidx and humidx plus?
The standard HumidX is recommended to be used in normal climatic conditions. The HumidX Plus on the other hand is for those really dry environments such as on AirPlanes, and may be better for particularly cold climates. By far the biggest complaint among early adopters of the AirMini device has been the noise.
What type of humidifier should I get for my CPAP device?
Consider the AirSense range. The AirMini device utilizes a waterless humidification system that their marketers have called the HumidX and HumidX Plus. The system uses a capsule that is placed in-line with the CPAP tubing that traps water vapor and heat from your exhaled breath.
Where are the mask vents on the airmini nasal masks located?
The AirMini-specific nasal masks are unique in that they do not have the mask vents on the masks themselves. This is because the mask vents are located within the hose, machine-side of where the HumidX disk is placed. This is vital to the operation of the HumidX humidification system.
