Fisher & Paykel HC550 Heated Humidifier
Fisher & Paykel HC550 Heated Humidifier
The F&P 550 System was designed for at-home patients requiring humidification during invasive ventilation, e.g., tracheostomy, or noninvasive ventilation, e.g., mask.
This humidifier supplies, monitors and controls the heat supplied to the humidification chamber and the water it contains. As respiratory gas passes over the heated water, it increases in humidity and temperature.
It also controls heating in the heated respiratory circuits, such as the RT Series or Evaqua 2 breathing circuits. This heating stabilizes the temperature of the humidified gas passing through, reducing the potential for condensation.
The F&P 550 System has the following features and benefits:
Therapeutic levels of warm, humidified gas
This active, heated humidifier is designed for use with home ventilators to provide therapeutic levels of warmed, humidified gas to patients.
Preset temperature output
The clinician can preset temperature output to invasive and noninvasive modes to suit the patient’s respiratory and therapy requirements and minimize user set up requirements.
Color-coded for easy set up
Temperature Probe and Heater-wire Adapter connections are color-coded to their respective sockets, making it easier to set up.
Subdued display lighting and indicators
Display and indicators are subdued and visible only when required. Lighted areas on a simplified diagram indicate setup issues.
Suitable for a range of therapies
The HC550 Humidifier is suitable for use with both noninvasive and invasive therapies.
