Heated respiratory humidifier (A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to heat and humidify air/oxygen inspired by a patient to help maintain the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract typically during periods of prolonged respiratory support/therapy (e.g., mechanical ventilation, BPAP/CPAP therapy). The heated/humidified gases are delivered to the patient's airway and lungs via the nose/mouth or a tracheostoma in association with a parent respiratory device (e.g., ventilator, BPAP/CPAP unit). The humidifier typically includes a heating element and provisions for attaching a humidification chamber and tubing set.)
