CHAPTER 10: ACCESSORIES
There are several accessories you can use with the Harmony.
10.1 ADDING A HUMIDIFIER
The REMstar Heated Humidifier, REMstar Pass-over Humidifier, and
H2 Heated Humidifier are available from your home care provider. The
humidifiers may reduce nasal dryness and irritation by adding moisture
(and heat, if applicable) to the airflow.
CAUTION: For safe operation, the humidifier must always be posi-
tioned below the circuit connection at the mask and the air
outlet on the Harmony. The humidifier must be level for
proper operation.
Refer to the humidifier instructions for complete information on how to
set up your humidifier.
10.2 ADDING OXYGEN TO THE HARMONY
Oxygen may be added to the mask connection. Please note the warnings
listed below when using oxygen with the Harmony.
WARNING: If you are using oxygen, your Harmony must be equipped
with the Respironics Pressure Valve (Part number 302418).
Failure to use the Pressure Valve could result in a fire
hazard.
WARNING: Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used
while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
WARNING: When using oxygen with your Harmony, the oxygen
supply must comply with the local regulations for medical
oxygen.
WARNING: When using oxygen with this system, turn the Harmony
on before turning the oxygen on. Turn the oxygen off
before turning the Harmony off. This will prevent oxygen
accumulation in the device.
