AirSpiral™ Tube for Fisher & Paykel myAIRVO™ 2 Humidifier
myAirvo 2 AirSpiral Tube - Overview
*Compared to the older myAirvo tubing, the new AirSpiral tube generates a reduction in condensation of up to 93%.
The warm humidified gas in the breathing tube of humidification devices has a tendency to condense. There is a higher chance of condensation in heated tubes if the ambient temperature is lower. This results in “rainout” and makes using the humidification machine difficult. Fisher & Paykel took this into consideration when designing the myAIRVO 2 AirSpiral tube. Its improved two-spiral design prevents condensation by offering an insulating spiral outside of the internal heating spiral.

Fisher & Paykel AirSpiral Heated Breathing Tube - Benefits
The Heating Spiral encloses a wire that heats to warm the inside of the tube holding the breathing gas.
The Insulating Spiral further protects the breathing gas from room temperatures creating an insulating bubble.
By separating the inside surface holding the breathing air from the outside surface room temperatures, the likelihood of condensation is minimized while the humidity of the gas is much more likely to be maintained until the patient breathes it.
Additionally, placing the unit below head height allows any condensation to drain back toward the unit rather than toward the patient. If condensation still occurs, It is also very easy to disconnect the patient interface and lift the tube so that any condensation will run back into the humidifier chamber. Additionally, placing the unit below head height allows any condensation to drain back toward the unit rather than toward the patient. Avoid covering the tube and if condensation persists, try turning the temperature down on the device.
