| The ClimateLine heated tube is
the key that unlocks the Climate Control system.
It contains revolutionary technologies never before
seen in CPAP tubing that enable the delivery of Climate
Control and unsurpassed patient comfort.
Using advanced precision moulding techniques, a
heating circuit is embedded in the spiral of the
ClimateLine tube. This is automatically controlled by
the Climate Control algorithm to deliver a constant
comfortable temperature at the mask.
Located at the mask end of the tube, a sensor
measures the temperature of the air leaving the tube.
Unique to ResMed, this feature offers complete
temperature and comfort control.
With traditional humidification systems, as the
temperature in the room drops so does the temperature of
the air inside the tube. At lower temperatures the
amount of water vapour that can be held by the air
decreases and condensation (rainout) can form in the
tube.
The ClimateLine tube maintains the temperature of the
air delivered to the patient. This ensures that rainout
is avoided even if the temperature in the room drops
during the night.
By keeping the air temperature in the tube constant,
the Climate Control system can automatically adjust to
changes in ambient conditions to maintain a constant,
comfortable humidity level. Rainout is avoided without
needing to reduce the humidity delivered. |
