Philips Respironics System One Heated Humidifier
Accessory unit for system One 50 or 60 Series CPAP and BiPAP machines to provide warm, controlled moisture to therapy air. The Philips Respironics System One Heated Humidifier is designed for people in Pakistan who use a CPAP machine or BiPAP machine and find plain, dry air uncomfortable, especially during summer months when it becomes hot with a lot of dust, or during winter nights when the heating in the house further dries up the atmosphere.Ā
Key Features and Benefits
- Automatic humidity adjustment. The unit is automatically controlled and adapts its output according to the temperature and humidity in the room without having to adjust the levels each night based on the weather in different seasons in Pakistan. The Philips Respironics System One heated humidifier supports this automatic humidity adjustment.Ā
- Dry Box protection. The waterproofing of the CPAP or BiPAP machine allows water to be removed from the internal electronics, which decreases the chance of damage from any spills with the machine during setup or travel. The Philips Respironics System One Heated Humidifier is designed with this protection in mind.Ā
- Rainout reduction. Prevents condensation buildup in the tubing, which is a frequent problem with unheated and basic humidifiers, so you don’t have to wake up as often to empty the water from the hose.Ā
- Simple chamber design. The water chamber can be lifted out for cleaning in cases where the quality of the tap water changes and users want to clean the water chamber every day with filtered or boiled water. The Philips Respironics System One heated humidifier uses a simple chamber design for routine cleaning.Ā
- Quiet nightly operation. Does not emit any noise, so won’t wake up light sleepers or a partner sleeping in the same room.Ā
- Compact fit on the System One platform. Plugs into or next to the flow generator, ideal for smaller bedrooms or hostels. The Philips Respironics System One heated humidifier is suited to the System One platform.Ā
The water chamber is not included with the humidifier housing, and the System One CPAP or BiPAP unit must match the 50 or 60 Series humidifier to be used with it.Ā
Who Should Buy This
This humidifier is designed for patients who are using or are interested in using a Philips Respironics System One Heated Humidifier with a Philips Respironics System One CPAP or BiPAP, but they are having dry mouth, throat irritation, or nosebleeds due to unheated therapy air. It’s also useful for people who live in places where there is a lot of dust in the air and low humidity for at least part of the year, where breathing pressurized air without moisture is difficult and unpleasant for a whole night.Ā
It is advisable to use the CPAP with a stabilized power source when load shedding is happening, or voltage changes are occurring in many parts of Pakistan, as the CPAP is sensitive to voltage changes, and heater plates can get damaged. Multiple patients with sleep apnea can be cared for in clinical and home health care settings, and this unit can be sold as a routine comfort item in addition to the new CPAP machines.Ā

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Philips Respironics heated humidifier for DreamStation CPAP?
This is a heated humidifier for use on the System One 50 and 60 Series platform. Humidifier trays work independently of the machine and are integrated in the DreamStation machines, Humidifier System. One will not fit or operate with a DreamStation machine.
What is a heated humidifier, CPAP, and BiPAP heated humidifier?
A heated humidifier is a water chamber that has a built in heating plate that helps to humidify the air produced by a CPAP or BiPAP machine. CPAP delivers a single level of pressure, while BiPAP delivers different levels of pressure during inhalation and exhalation. In either case, the heated humidifier eliminates dryness in the nose, mouth, and throat that pressurized air can create overnight.
What is the difference between Respironics DreamStation 1 and 2?
DreamStation 2 is a newer, reconceived DreamStation, featuring a new interface, new internal parts, and new humidifier and tubing connections. It is an independent product line, and parts are not interchangeable between platforms unless the model is the same.
Is Philips respironics no longer available?
After a device recall in 2021, Philips Respironics halted production and sales of new CPAP and BiPAP sleep therapy devices in the U.S. in 2024 as part of an FDA consent decree. This applies to the new device sales on the domestic market. Philips still services existing products, and its products, such as System One accessories, are available in other countries, including Pakistan, through authorised distributors.
Is Philips Respironics safe to use?
Humidifier chambers were not involved in the 2021 recall; the recall involved a specific sound abatement foam found in some flow generators. Since then, Philips has finished most of its cleanup work and has published tests that showed that it didn’t anticipate that sleeping with a sleep therapy device would cause significant damage. If using an older System One flow generator, verify against the official recall list, and discuss with your treating physician before continuing use. As with any water holding medical accessory, the heated humidifier accessory should be checked for cracks, discolouration, or damage before each use.
