Humidification Settings for AirSense 10

Andrea Hoffman, a respiratory therapist, explains how to adjust the humidification settings on the AirSense 10. She covers connecting the heated hose, navigating the menu, and understanding climate control. The video details manual adjustments for humidity and tube temperature, emphasizing the importance of tube temperature to prevent condensation. Seasonal adjustments are also discussed, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the year.

What is the primary purpose of adjusting humidification on the AirSense 10?

• To ensure optimal comfort and prevent dryness

• To change the color of the display

• To increase the machine's noise level

• To reduce electricity consumption

What is the first step in adjusting the humidification settings on the AirSense 10?

• Turning off the machine

• Changing the filter

• Adjusting the mask

• Connecting the heated hose

What does the 'auto' mode on the AirSense 10 target in terms of relative humidity?

• 75%

• 95%

• 85%

• 100%

Which of the following is NOT a symptom of dryness that may require increased humidification?

• Increased appetite

• Congestion

• Burning sensation

• Runny nose

What are the default settings for humidity level and tube temperature in manual mode?

• 4 and 81

• 6 and 83

• 5 and 82

• 3 and 80

Why is it important to increase the tube temperature along with the humidity level?

• To change the air color

• To prevent condensation in the tubing

• To reduce noise

• To save energy

What should you do if you experience condensation despite having the right humidity level?

• Decrease the humidity level

• Increase the tube temperature

• Turn off the machine

• Change the mask

What adjustment should be made if the air feels too warm during the summer?

• Only decrease tube temperature

• Only increase humidity

• Decrease both humidity and tube temperature

• Increase both humidity and tube temperature

What is the recommended action if the airflow is still cooling off on the way to you?

• Turn off the heated hose

• Decrease the humidity level

• Change the filter

• Increase the tube temperature

Why is tube temperature less important when decreasing humidity levels?

• Because it changes the air color

• Because it saves energy

• Because condensation is less likely

• Because the air is already warm
