Passover Humidifier

Pen and pencil.png

A Passover Humidifier is used in conjunction with an xPAP machine to produce cool moisture, which flows from the xPAP, through a chamber filled with cool water, and to the mask. The purpose of a Passover humidifier is to keep the patient’s nasal passage from becoming dry and sore. A Passover humidifier is not plugged in to an electrical outlet and does not have a heater plate.

Most any heated humidifier can also be used in passover mode by simply leaving the humidifier setting at "off" or (0). This will give you cool unheated (passover) humidity.
