ports facing upward. Pour enough water in both ports (Figure 2) until the water level in
both halves of the chamber is between the minimum and maximum fill lines on the top sur-
face of the humidifier lid. The water level must be between the fill lines across the entire
length of the lines (Figure 3). The humidifier can also be filled by adding a pre-measured
amount of water, between 425ml and 525ml, into both ports.
Before each use, ensure that the humidifier is clean (reference Care and Cleaning

Do not fill the humidifier while it is attached to the CPAP or ventilator. To pre-
vent electrical hazards, do not allow water to contact the CPAP or ventilator.

ring if it is damaged or if the o-ring will not provide a proper seal. Use replace-
ment o-ring part number 9100D-600.
