Optimize your comfort while you sleep with the DreamStation Heated Humidifier , designed to add heated humidification to your therapy air. Built for compatibility with the DreamStation CPAP machine line from Philips Respironics, the DreamStation Heated Humidifier offers a variety of convenience and comfort features!
Find all compatible parts listed here on the DreamStation Parts page.
The DreamStation Humidifier offers two operating modes: a standard fixed heating mode and an adaptive mode that automatically adjusts the heat and moisture levels. Adaptive mode is designed to provide the optimal moisture level while minimizing condensation build-up.
When used with a heated tube, Dry Box Technology helps reduce the risk of water damage in the event water escapes the water chamber. The air outlet port is outfitted with a one-way valve that helps prevent water displacement, as well.
General Tips Section
We recommend using the optional heated tubing with your CPAP therapy, as it ensures a consistent humidity level and constant heat for your CPAP therapy pressure as it travels from the optional humidifier of your DreamStation device, through the heated hose, and to your CPAP mask. Optional heated tubing helps to prevent rainout, the buildup of condensation in the CPAP hose during sleep therapy.

The water chamber is enclosed inside the humidifier. To access the water chamber, find the tab located on the top of the humidifier. Gently push the tab forward to release the humidifier wall. The panel will open completely, exposing the water chamber. Cautiously remove the water chamber with both hands, place it on a flat surface to fill it with water, and return the chamber to the humidifier. Please Note: Do not fill the water past the maximum fill line.
Before beginning therapy, ensure the humidifier lid is securely closed and re-attach the device to power.
Do not move the humidifier when the chamber is filled with water. As a rule of thumb, always remove the tank from the humidifier and extract all of the water when preparing to travel. Let the humidifier chamber air dry completely after the water is emptied before returning the chamber to the humidifier. When all the equipment is dry, place the device in a carry-on bag to help protect the unit. Per the manufacturer, the carrying bag cannot guarantee the safety of the equipment when checked as luggage, so use the bag as a carry-on only.
Present the text on the bottom of the humidifier or purchase an OPTIONAL sleeping.com Medical Identification Luggage Tag for CPAP Equipment to clarify that the carry-on holds medical equipment.
When traveling to other countries, remember to switch to universal or compatible power cords and adaptors. Do not use the humidifier while aboard the flight.
The seal found under the top of the humidifier lid is designed to fasten the lid to the humidifier when closed. On occasion, the seal may need to be cleaned or replaced to sustain the strong grip. Follow these steps when cleaning the seal:
If the seal is still in good condition, it may be re-installed on the humidifier lid. Line the hole of the seal with the interior form of the humidifier outlet port. To ensure the direction of the seal is correct, align the wire channel found in the center of the hole with the bottom of the air outlet. The seal will not feel secure until it has been pressed into the border of the humidifier lid. Press the center of the seal to solidify the grip around the outlet.
Assembly Tips
Please Note: Empty the water chamber before moving the humidifier to protect the machine from potential water damage. The humidifier should never be placed directly onto carpet, fabric, or other flammable surfaces.
The air outlet port found on the back of the DreamStation devices will line up with the front of the humidifier which is indicated by the opening for the water chamber. Once the machine's air outlet is directly connected to the humidifier's air inlet port, the two devices may be joined by sliding them together until a clicking noise is heard.
Begin by removing the water tank from the humidifier. Next, make sure the unit is disconnected from the power source. Grasp the machine and humidifier with both hands. Position one hand on the machine, while placing the other hand on the humidifier release button found along the bottom rim of the humidifier. Gently pull the machine and humidifier apart while holding the release button.
The DreamStation Humidifier is compatible with standard 22 mm hoses, slim 15 mm hoses, and the 'optional' heated 15 mm hose.
The heated tube has a connector located on the bottom cuff of the CPAP hose. When attaching the heated hose, align the connector with the air outlet port on top of the humidifier. The clicking sound that is made by the fasteners attaching to the air outlet port will signify the hose is properly attached.
To position a standard 22mm hose or a slim 15mm hose, slide the cuff of the CPAP hose over the air outlet port.
To disconnect the OPTIONAL heated hose, carefully press the clips at the connection point on the tube to disconnect the hose from the air outlet port.
When disconnecting a standard 22mm hose or a slim 15mm hose, use slight pressure to pull the cuff from the port.
Cleaning / Maintenance Tips
Before cleaning the humidifier, be sure the device has been disconnected from power and from the DreamStation machine. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to gently clean the surface of the humidifier. Do not submerge the unit underwater. The air outlet port on the top of the humidifier may be cleaned with a small, bottle brush or a damp cloth.
Do not engulf the tube in water causing the Humidifier Connector End to become covered. Instead, hold the tube and gently rinse with warm water and mild soap. Make sure to clean each part of the hose including the connectors at the end of the cuff. The connectors should be cleaned, but they can not be immersed in water. Rinse thoroughly and allow the tube to dry completely before reconnecting the hose to the humidifier. Repeat this process weekly.
Please Note: If the humidifier was recently used, the heater plate will remain hot for approximately 15 minutes following the end of therapy. To avoid potential burns, wait the allotted time to remove the water chamber.
Wipe the base and heater plate with a damp cloth. The base must be completely dry before being used.

After numerous attempts I could not get an accurate fit. But I was very easily approved for a refund
The device has significantly reduced my snoring. I am generally please. It has a useful life of about 2 years from my expo.
I had trouble sleeping, and was waking up exhausted. After using this product, everything changed. Waking up refreshed, and no longer snoring myself awake. Worth every penny. Couldn’t recommend more.
I was not prepared for the sore jaw that I experience everyday after wearing the device. I do not know if this gets better? I understand the AM aligner helps return your bite to normal, but it is a painful process to get my teeth to fit into it. If this improves my rating will change.
