Harpsichord HD and a word on the HC150 humidifier!

You're not going to believe what I have on my Iphone 5C right now, as of yesterday. An awwwwwwwwwwesome app called "Harpsichord HD!"  This app is loaded with pieces. It has I believe 1,500 pieces by Bach,  Mozart, and Beethoven. This thing is LOADED!! OHHHHHH, and BEST OF ALL! IT HAS My FAVORITE piece. If you're keeping up with my blog, and/or  what I post on Facebook, well then you know what that is. The only reason you would not know what this is is if you don't even know me, you don't check my Facebook posts, and you must never have seen my blog, or saw it, but never checked it, much less follow it. LOL. We all know what that piece is.

It's on my Iphone in many versions too, and the app has it!!

What is that piece?

None other than "Capriccio, Sopra, BWV 992, On The Departure Of His Beloved Brother" by Johann Sebastian  Bach.

It's on the app, and whilst it's a wee bit faster than it really should be, it sounds of WONDERFUL quality. I LOVE the version.

This app has my favorite Minuets too!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

And my favorite Polanaise from  The Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook, that is in D MINOR.

WOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

This app has it all, or so it seems.



In other words, I got another app known as "AIRVO!"

It's a High Flow  Humidification Simulator from Fisher & Paykel!!

Fisher & Paykel is HUGE when it comes to high flow humidification, and vent humidification!

They also make PAP Therapy equipment.

I would have to say their biggest success would have to be in the ventilator Humidification.

They  manufacture WONDERFUL humidifiers like the F&P MR850 which is an amazing Humidifier for ventilated patients.
This humidifier allows for two modes both for Non-Invasive and Invasive Ventilation, the Non-Invasive ventilation being somewhat lower temperature than the Invasive Mode, and It has a VERY easy to read digital display.

Well Fisher and Paykel also has a HUGE down side and that is one little humidifier that I would have to say, "IF YOU ARE ON A VENT, and you get this thing, PLEASE, DO WHAT YOU CAN, to get something else, because if you're a ventilator user, THIS IS A COMPLETELY unacceptable means of humidification.

This humidifier?

The HC150 Humidifier!

What is this thing like?
It's HORRIBLE.

No way to adjust set temperature and all you have is a button and a dial which by the way is HORRIBLE.

The dial is sooooo loose that if you barely move the humidifier the dial gets adjusted and then the button  is VERY easily accidentally turned off.

How do you know it's on?

A very very very very dim green LED.

Trust me!

If you have the option of avoiding this one, My VERY SERIOUS ADVICE IS, "AVOID IT!!"
There's no heated wire circuit.

You will have to manually fill the thing yourself because there's no sterile water bag!

You will have to deal with horrific condensation, and possibly water going DIRECTLY into your lungs!

You will have no idea immediately if it's on or off until it gets hot or ccold!

If you require the maximum amount of humidification meaning the dial has to be set to the complete right as it must be in my case, well You're going to have to check and check often to see that it didn't get accidentally moved to the slightest bit, because it happens A LOT!!

If you are somewhat like my case, it still won't be what would call "GOOD," humidity, but It'll be what you're going to get.
If you use an LTV ventilator, you're going to have to use a water trap otherwise you're going to get continuous "DISC/SENSE," alarms when water that condenses in the circuit drenches the poor exhalation valve and confuses the vent and then if you use a High PEEP level like Is the case with me, These will literally be a VERY PROFOUND annoyance, and a severe disturbance of your sleep.

If you use this humidifier, I really do pitty you, because I know IT IS NOT PLEASANT.

But anyhow, I've gone to a completely different path when I was going to talk about the AIRVO, and here I go DRONING on about the HC150 which honestly is just a heater plate inside plastic with a simple little dial and a small button!

The Airvo is a device that delivers Heated Humidified air to patients requiring high flow humidity either via nasal prongs, via a conventional face mask, or with a tracheostomy setup.

It has a heated circuit and it also has a direct temperature setting.

It can be used with oxygen or room air.

The Airvo 2 is a hospital grade humidification device, whereas  the new "MY AIRVO," is a home use device that can be used comfortably in the patient's home.



Well anyhow, there is a free simulator application that the Apple store happens to have.

It allows me to set the flow rate in L/Min, the Temperature as well as adjust the Oxygen Flow Rate, and I TRULY LOVE this wonderful app.
It's absolutely amazing.



Well that's my blog post for today, and It's another droner as I'll say, because I droned on for quite a while about the HC150!

LOL.

Thank you  for listening/reading this app, and God Bless you, and your family.

Remember, ONLY HE, can love you PERFECTLY!!
