Room humidifier

Room humidifiers are stationary electrical devices designed to increase moisture levels in indoor air, primarily to ease respiratory discomfort caused by dryness. Clinically, they are often used in hospitals, homes, or offices to help patients with conditions like dry throat, sinus irritation, or respiratory infections by maintaining optimal humidity levels in the environment.

These devices are typically regulated as medical devices when intended for therapeutic use, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They are usually supplied as standalone units with a water reservoir that requires periodic refilling, and their design focuses on delivering large mist particles to the surrounding air rather than direct inhalation.
