<p>These HMEs are available in several configurations (such as Edith Trach, 500, 1000, and 1500) to ensure suitability across a wide range of clinical flow requirements.</p>
What supply pack sizes are available?
<p>Available package quantities often correspond to the specific configuration:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>25 units/pack:</strong> Typically the Edith 1500 Flex model.</li>
<li><strong>30 units/pack:</strong> Available for models such as the Edith 500, Edith 1000, and standard Edith 1500.</li>
<li><strong>40 units/pack:</strong> Typically the Edith Trach model.</li>
<li><strong>80 units/pack:</strong> Available for the Edith 1500 model when bundled with the Memoflex Tube.</li>
</ul>
What is the typical lead time for these HMEs?
<ul>
<li><strong>1–2 Weeks:</strong> This applies specifically to the <strong>Edith 1500 Flex</strong> model.</li>
<li><strong>4–5 Weeks:</strong> This applies to most other configurations, including the Edith Trach, Edith 500, Edith 1000, and standard Edith 1500 variants.</li>
</ul>
What is the HME's moisture retention effectiveness?
<p>Specific performance data for the <strong>Edith 1500 Flex</strong> configuration demonstrates its effectiveness:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Moisture Retention Capacity:</strong> The device achieves a high moisture output, retaining:
<ul>
<li><strong>33.5 mg H2O</strong> effectiveness at 750 mL flow.</li>
<li><strong>32.5 mg H2O</strong> effectiveness at 1000 mL flow.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Airway Resistance:</strong> The design ensures a low resistance profile, vital for minimizing patient breathing effort:
<ul>
<li><strong>1.5 cm H2O</strong> at 30 Liters Per Minute (LPM).</li>
<li><strong>1.4 cm H2O</strong> at 60 LPM.</li>
</ul>
</li>
