AirMist Heat Moisture Exchange for Transcend Micro

This Product DOES NOT Require a Prescription.

Product Description

The AirMist HME (Heat Moisture Exchange) humidification for the Transcend Micro Travel CPAP Machine. It delivers a unique way of humidifying your CPAP therapy. The kit comes with a filter chamber and (4) replacement heat moisture exchange filters. The HME differs from a humidification chamber by capturing heat and moisture from every exhalation. It then returns the heat and moisture upon inhalation.

The HME is also much smaller than a humidification chamber and can easily be replaced. Hospitals employ this technology to provide patients with ventilation. The HME should be changed each time you feel that you are not receiving adequate humidification. This averages about once per week. Keep replacements sealed in its packaging until ready for use. It will immediately start to collect moisture once exposed to the air.

How Often Should I Replace My Filters?

To make sure that the air quality you breathe during the
night is high and safe, you need to replace or clean the CPAP filters
periodically. If you have pets, have someone in your home who smokes, or have a
wood-burning stove, you will need to replace the filters more regularly. Disposable
CPAP filters should be replaced every 1-3 months. You cannot reuse them. You
will want to change the disposable in-line bacteria filters every 30 days.

Reusable filters should be replaced every 12-24 months depending
on routine maintenance.

How Do I Clean My Machine Filter?

Unless your machine uses a reusable filter, it is recommended
to dispose of the CPAP filter and not attempt to clean and reuse. Disposable filters
are typically made of a thin white material and should be disposed/replaced
when noticeable build up can be seen or it has been 3 months. Reusable filters
are made of foam-like material and can be cleaned by hand and left to air dry.

I Want to Submit a Self-Claim to My Insurance. Can I Do
This?

In most cases you can submit a claim form for an out-of-net
network provider. You may receive reimbursement back from your provider
depending on your coverage and co-pay. The HCPC code for disposable CPAP
filters is A7038. The HCPC code for reusable CPAP filters is A7039.

Do I Need a Prescription for This Product?

No, machine and mask parts do not require a prescription for
purchase. Often you can prolong the life of your CPAP machine by replacing your
CPAP filter on a frequent basis!
