Humidifiers/Heaters For Sale

Where Humidifiers and air heaters are Used?

In intensive care offices, wards, and units, a variety of anesthesia equipment is used. To ensure favorable conditions of operation for some devices, special humidifiers are necessary. They are used to humidify and heat oxygen, as well as other gas mixtures delivered to patients during artificial lung ventilation procedures. Ionizers are indispensable for forced air supply to the human respiratory system.

To ensure the steady flow of the gas mixture, it is necessary to maintain its optimal level of temperature and humidity. The inspiratory line warming ensures efficient oxygen humidification, preventing condensate formation in the circuit.

Types of Humidifiers and air heaters

Fully-featured artificial lung ventilation means not only mechanical lungs inflation. To maintain normal gas exchange, it is also necessary to ensure the physiological parameters appropriate for the external respiration system. Warming and moisturizing gases exhaled are one of the important functions of the upper respiratory tract along with the microorganisms and dust particles removal.

Artificial lung ventilation disrupts natural tracheal air warming and moistening functions because the inspiration takes place through the tracheostomy (endotracheal) tube but not through the nose. Prolonged dry and insufficiently warm air (up to 37 °С) intake by the body can provoke the following health issues:

• bronchial spasms;

• secretion delay;

• mucous membrane drying out;

• infection;

• ciliary activity loss;

• atelectasis development;

• mucosa ulceration;

• mucokinesis inhibition.

Important Specifications

In medical institutions, special units are used to provide and maintain the optimal level of humidity and temperature of air inhaled by patients, connected to artificial lung ventilation machines.

The gas mixtures humidifier and heater are based on the distilled water utilization. During its evaporation, a special atmosphere is created, saturated with water vapor. The gases exhaled by a patient pass over the surface of the heated water, and as a result, they are heated and humidified to the saturation level. Using dedicated electronic systems, medical stuff can regulate and limit the water temperature.

The exhaled gases temperature is subject to constant measurements, and in case the limit is exceeded, an alarm is immediately activated. Such equipment utilization allows prolonged artificial lung ventilation, excluding risks of damaging the patient’s breathing passages.

How Much Does heated humidifier cost?

The prices of some instruments can be as low as 100 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 700 USD.
Well-known brands of infusion pump in the United States are Fisher, Vapotherm. Outside of the US, top-selling brands are BBraun. 
Besides, one should understand that new and demo machines will cost more than refurbished or used medical heated humidifier. 
What is the difference? New machines have never been used. They have the manufacturer’s warranty. Demo machines are, as a rule, exhibition models. They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair shops)
