HUMIDIFIER, autoclavable (FLOWMETER TR200)
Another reusable humidifier can be supplied in case the Flowmeter TR200 is not available for supply.
Definition
The bubbling humidifiers for oxygen therapy are devices used to increase the relative humidity in the treatments with medical oxygen, both in hospital and at home. Medical oxygen, as it is normally supplied from hospital plant outlets or cylinders, has not a sufficient degree of humidity to be physiologically tolerated by the patient's airways without collateral consequences.
The TR200 model replaces the CH200 model because it is 1 cm shorter and it fits better the DeVilbiss concentrator.
