Plastiflex Touts Universal Compatibility for its Hybernite Heated CPAP Tubing
Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 12, 2012
Belgium-based Plastiflex Healthcare exhibited its Hybernite Rainout Control System, which includes the proprietary Heated Breathing Tube and Power Supply Unit, at SLEEP 2012—the 26th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS). The industry’s premier meeting held June 9 – 13 at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston, MA.
Plastiflex will also showcase its wares at Medtrade 2012 in Atlanta. Medtrade is the largest tradeshow in the world focused exclusively on the home medical equipment market, and is scheduled to be held held October 15-18 at the Georgia World Congress Center.
Sleep professionals who view Hybernite at SLEEP or Medtrade can rest assured that the Hybernite heated CPAP tube is compatible with CPAP systems that use standard tubing. Specifically, the Hybernite ROC 2300 Rainout Control System, and the Hybernite HBT 300 Heated Breathing tubing, can be used in combination with humidifiers (connected to positive air pressure generators) that have standard ISO 5356-1 male outlet connectors.
Examples of compatible humidifier/PAP device combinations include, but are not limited to:
Resmed H4i Humidifiers (S8-series)
Resmed H5i Humidifiers (S9-series)
Philips Respironics System One humidifier
Philips Respironics M-series humidifier
Philips Respironics Legacy Series humidifiers
GE Halthcare/Breas HA20 Humidifier
Devilbiss Heated Humidification systems
The cuff connects with all CPAP equipment that currently use a standard breathing tube. The Hybernite tube is fully wall-wired to provide regular heating all along the tube wall. Power is independent from the CPAP system, so Hybernite can even be used with older CPAP generators and humidifiers.
Sleep technologists are also using the Hybernite Heated Breathing tube during titration. “We want to give patients the best opportunity to comfortably accept positive pressure,” says Rik Langerock, VP Marketing and Sales “The heated wire tubing will help soothe congestion and dryness—and make the breathing process easier right off the bat.”
Plastiflex Healthcare focuses on the development, manufacturing and marketing of tubing system technologies for respiratory care, including sleep therapy, non invasive and critical care ventilation. The Hybernite Rainout Control System is a universal heated tubing system for sleep therapy. Hybernite enhances therapy comfort by preventing condensation in the breathing tube, avoiding sleep disruption and providing optimal air humidification. Fits any PAP humidifier that currently uses standard CPAP tubing. Hybernite has FDA 510K clearance and is Medicare reimbursed HCPCS code A4604.
