About the heated tubing
The ClimateLineAir 11 is a heated breathing tube that delivers air to a compatible mask. When used with the device humidifier tub, ClimateLineAir 11 heated air tubing allows you to use the Climate Control feature.
Note
Not all types of air tubing are available in all regions.
Climate Control is an intelligent system that controls the humidifier and the ClimateLineAir heated air tubing. Climate Control is designed to make therapy more comfortable by enabling constant temperature and maintaining humidity. This feature:
delivers comfortable humidity level and temperature during therapy
maintains the set temperature and relative humidity during sleep to prevent dryness in the nose and mouth
can be set to either Auto or Manual
is only available when both the ClimateLineAir 11 and HumidAir 11 tub are attached.
Auto is the recommended and default setting. It is designed to make therapy as easy as possible so there is no need to change the temperature or humidity settings.
Sets the tube temperature to Auto (80ºF/27ºC). If the air in the mask is too warm or too cold, you can adjust the tube temperature to anywhere from 60 to 86ºF (16 to 30ºC) or turn it off completely
Adjusts the humidifier output to maintain a constant, comfortable humidity level of 85% relative humidity
Protects against rainout (water droplets in the heated air tubing and mask).
Manual is designed to offer more flexibility and control over settings and offers the following:
Temperature and humidity can be adjusted to find the most comfortable setting
Temperature and humidity level can be set independently
Rainout protection is not guaranteed. If rainout does occur, first try increasing the tube temperature
If the air temperature becomes too warm and rainout continues, try decreasing the humidity.
Notes
If Climate Control is set to Manual, the Auto Tube Temperature setting is not available.
The temperature and humidity settings are not measured values.
The temperature sensor located at the mask end of the ClimateLineAir 11 heated air tubing enables the system to automatically control the temperature of the air delivered to the patient. This ensures the temperature of the air delivered to the patient does not fall below the set minimum temperature, therefore maximizing breathing comfort for the patient.
The humidifier moistens the air and is designed to make therapy more comfortable.
If the patient is getting a dry nose or mouth, turn up the humidity
If the patient is getting any moisture in the mask turn down the humidity.
The Humidity Level can be set to: Off or between 1 and 8, where 1 is the lowest humidity setting and 8 is the highest humidity setting.
For each humidifier setting, the Climate Control system delivers a constant amount of water vapor, or absolute humidity (AH), to the patient's upper airway.
To update the setting for Tube Temperature, Climate Control, or Humidity Level, tap MY OPTIONS from the Home screen, go down the list of options, and select the setting.
Note
Tube Temp Auto setting is only relevant when using the Climate Control Auto setting. If Climate Control is set to Manual, Auto set temperature is not a valid selection.

Automatic Adjustment
The humidifier and ClimateLineAir 11 heated air tubing are controlled by the Climate Control algorithm to deliver constant humidity and temperature outputs. The system adjusts automatically to changes in:
ambient room temperature and humidity values
flow due to pressure changes
flow due to mask or mouth leak.
