Resmed H4i humidifier

Post by Arizona-Willie » Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:25 am

What is different / improved / amazing about the new Resmed H4i humidifier?

Can you upgrade the H3i to the new one on the original S8 Elite machines?

Would it be good to do so if possible?

Does this help, Arizona-Willie?:
The ResMed HumidAire 4i Integrated Heated Humidifier for ResMed S8 and S8 II series CPAP machines is an improvement upon the HumidAire 3i in several ways. Specifically, the HumidAire 4i, also called the H4i, features:

Larger water chamber

Larger heating plate

More robust design with a metal reinforcement in the front of the humidifier

Thanks ... looks like it wouldn't be worth upgrading. I wonder if the original S8's put out enough power for a larger heating plate.

So far, so good for me. I was given one of the newer humidifiers. The biggest positive has been the larger tank compared to my M series.
