Hello archangle,
I know about this Upgrade Kit, but I would have to order one in the States. - I could not get a matching power supply here (Germany). Here I got here two PRS1 Auto 562 P, one rented by my insurance, the other owned for backup, both produced Oktober 2013(!). Both humidifiers have already the connectors for the heated hose. Both have only the 60W power supply. By Ebay I got the heatable hose. I could not find one anywere. My 80W power supply is currently at German customs. I hope I really get it and they don't send it back because they recognize it as medical equippment without an approval certificate and/or no declaration of conformity with European rules (CE-sign) . That are problems outside the USA!
The news of your post were that there exists a complete kit with all inclusive.
Thx for your reply!

Cpap.com sells an upgrade kit that includes all the parts to change a 60 series humidifier from unheated hose to heated hose capable. It costs $75 and includes a new lid, water tank, heated hose, and power supply.
you might want to check the inventory of that kit against your memory
