Is this the heated hose?

The SZ1 model at the top? I'm about to place my order and just make sure I'm getting the right thing...

Yes, you have the right website. I believe the model you want is SZ4. Enjoy the warmth.

I find it odd that they charge extra to not install a sensor tube. The only difference between the SZ-2 and the SZ-4 is that SZ-2 has a sensor rube inside -- and it is $6 cheaper.

They probably have a manufactorer who makes it in bulk with the sensor and they take the sensor out individually for those who don't want it. Thus more work = more money.

Billmanweh,

Oh, your gonna love that aussie heated hose! I was on cpap for around 4 to 6 months suffering with that dreaded rainout every night and no matter what I did it would get a nose full of water!

The aussie has completely stopped that! Some people don't use their HH, just the aussie but I have a dry nose so I keep my HH on 1 all year round!

Enjoy!

I qsked my DME about the Aussie heated tube. She said that Medicare wouldn't
pay for it, and at $160, it is out of reach. And in winter our bedroom is so cold that a glass of water has been found frozen the next morning! You can imagine the fun i have with a half-frozen hose and rainout. Perhaps the price will come down
over time..?

You can make your own for a lot cheaper. Have a search on the forum for the repti heater. It costs about $15. You simply wrap it around your tube and use an ordinary tube cover.

I have been using it to great effect.

Good luck

Great idea, I found the manufacturer web site and the tinylink takes you there.

I wondered about pipe heaters but they are not very flexible.

Is this the heated hose?
