[Equipment] HUMIDIFIER

[OHIOHAM]

I have COPD, so when I got Covid, the doctor suggested turning up the heat on the humidifier for more moisture to keep my lungs clear.  This worked for a couple of weeks, but the added load to the system burned out the heating element.  

Where can I find a replacement (or a stand-alone) humidifier to keep me from clogging up?
I know the heater is replaceable, but I have no idea where to get replacement parts.  So 
that's why I'm looking for a new unit.  Yeah, if I can get a new heater parts, I'm game to try
to replace the heating element.  

I use a Resmed Escape II.  But again - a stand-alone unit would be acceptable.

Sure, I could go to the doctor and get a prescription.  But that's 3 months away, and my nasal
passages would be fried by then.  

Thanks for your input

OK broken record Dave with Fisher and Paykel. They'd have accessory humidifiers that maybe can do the job. I say maybe because I'm not familiar with the old 8 series PAP.

Second thought maybe it's needful to replace the PAP to get a newer model.

COPD with any illness isn't a good state, take care.

By standalone unit, do you mean a room type humidifier??? They are readily available on Amazon, or your local pharmacy may carry them.
I use a whole house humidifier as well as the built in humidifier in my Airsense 10.

PS to clarify my first answer, F&P have stand alone PAP type humidifiers that have standard PAP hose type inlet/outlets.

Thanks for clarifying Dave. I learned something new.....

Glad to help. It's similar to what a ventilator may use but this one is for PAP. I think it's somewhat on the lines of what the 9 series ResMed may have used.
