Update Packaging Universal Heat Moisture Exchanger/Exchange Filter Replacement for Z1, Z2 HME Humidification Solution Filter Fit 22mm Diameter Tubing-6 Pack, Individually Sealed Packaging LUXRILIX

Works great and cheaper than cpap supply

Work well.

They aren’t individually wrapped. I use the first one and the rest degrade the same rate as the first because they are all open. Basically $18.99 for one. What a waste. WORTHLESSReturning

These work but if you plan to use them inline with a ventilator circuit forget it. I don’t normally use these for that purpose but my patients supply company had the regular HME’s we use on backorder. These work but definitely are substandard in quality and use. My patient is on a ventilator full time and during the day he uses these while out in the community at night he uses regular humidification that’s set up on his bedside ventilator. When we got these in they all come in the same bag not individually wrapped. In use they didn’t really help him retain as much moisture during the day and he was experiencing a dry throat and his voice was dry half way through the day. Normally he goes well into the nighttime with our normal HME’s with no issues. In a pinch we’d use them but definitely not my first choice. Also we had to use different connectors to fit this inline on his circuit because one end has an ID measurement of 25mm on one side and 15mm on the other, Our normal ones have a ID measurement of 15mm on one side and 22mm outer diameter on the other. That may be important to some people here.

the product brings back moisture and can be wetted to have more moisture

I love my Z2, but my throat gets too dry overnight without this Heat Moisture Exchanger. Sometimes it is not enough if the air is super dry. But I found that if I breath into it several times before turning on the CPAP machine it will last through the night. This seems to "preload" the HME with extra moisture to give it a bit of a head start. I won't use my machine without one.

These cartridges are functional, helping to prevent nasal dryness. The price point is reasonable. I used this product with my travel Cpap and was very pleased.

I have only used it a couple times on my travel CPAP as it does not have a humidifier.Seems to work well.The complaint I read in other reviews about them not being packaged individually is true, but I found an easy solution. The extras all fin in a sandwich sized ziplock bag.
