Abstract
A fluid heating apparatus for use in medical applications in the heating of water for use in a nebulizer is provided having a heated passageway for connecting between a water reservoir and a nebulizer head for heating only the water being used immediately before use. The passageway may be formed at the interfacing surfaces of a housing and an insert. The insert may be coated with a biocompatible material which possesses certain heat conductive properties while providing a water seal. A channel may transverse the surface of the coating to establish the passageway. An electrical heater may be located within the insert.
