Philips Respironics' DreamStation Humidifier Dry Box Assembly is the replacement assembly used to prevent water damage to the DreamStation Heated Humidifier.
Please Note: This is for the dry box assembly only and does not include the inlet seal. If interested in purchasing the inlet seal, it must be purchased separately. The seal can be found here.
Dry Box technology is used on PR humidifier systems to protect the device from potential water leakage. In the instance that water may seep or spill from the water chamber into the unit, the dry box is designed to capture the water to keep it from spreading throughout the humidifier and CPAP therapy device.
The Dry Box Assembly has an inlet seal located on the interior of the humidifier as well as a smaller seal located on the exterior of the unit where the machine and humidifier meet. Please Note: Only the interior, inlet seal is intended to be replaced. If the seal on the exterior of the humidifier assembly is damaged, a new assembly must be purchased.
Tips to Remove the Dry Box Assembly and the Inlet Seal
Open the humidifier by gently pushing forward on the long tab found on the top of the humidifier.
Remove the water chamber with both hands to prevent water from spilling into the heated device.
Turn the humidifier to locate the dry box assembly located on the opposite side of the flip lid.
Locate the small latch found on the side of the assembly which is nearest to the inlet seal.
Press the latch to disengage the assembly from the humidifier.
Once the unit has been removed, the seal will easily come apart from the dry box assembly.
Caring for the Dry Box Assembly
Use the following steps to maintain the longevity of the Dry Box Assembly:
For simple, daily cleanings, use a damp cloth to to wipe the circumference of the assembly.
For more complex cleanings, remove the assembly with care and place it in warm water. Use mild soap and warm water to thoroughly clean the assembly. Wipe the seal to remove excess water and place it out of the sunlight to air dry completely.
Travel Tips
Do not move the humidifier when the chamber is filled with water. Always remove the tank from the humidifier and extract all of the water when preparing to travel. After the tank has been emptied, let the chamber air dry completely away from direct sunlight. When all the equipment is dry, place the device in a carry-on bag to help protect the unit. Per the manufacturer, the carrying bag cannot guarantee the safety of the equipment when checked as luggage, so use the bag as a carry-on only.

Great Service - Excellent Value - Stop Looking
My wife and I have been dealing with CPAP Clinic for a few years. We have also had sleep doctors try to direct us to other clinics. Don t do it. If you need this kind of service this place is excellent. We will never go anywhere else. Value: CPAP machines are partially funded by OHIP and there are standard packages that you can get at any clinic right? WRONG. These people are honest and provide a complete package INCLUDING a modern mask. They will consult and fit you and ensure you have equipment that works for you. Some other clinics will have you spending hundreds extra on an appropriate mask, returning multiple times to their clinic and wasting precious sleep getting the right mask. There is no up-sell pressure on anything. They try to get you the best package day 1 and anything you do buy yourself in the future (like replacement masks and filters) is sold at a competitive price. Knowledge: They know all the gear and all of the products. They deal with enough people that they can tell you what real users think about anything as opposed to repeating company marketing. It is important to have someone accessible that can help with your equipment and also ensure your doctors are getting your sleep data. You can shop here confidently. Stop looking.
