Abstract
A gas humidifier set is provided which includes a solution bottle containing a sterile water solution, a cap seal providing a sterile seal for the solution bottle, a connector assembly for penetrating the seal at the time of use and coupling the solution bottle to a gas supply and a covering cap for covering the connector assembly and maintaining it in sterile condition prior to use. The connector assembly includes gas inlet and outlet members. To use the device, the covering cap is removed and the connector assembly is turned thereby causing piercing of the cap seal and communication between the sterile water solution and the gas inlet and outlet members.
