Frequently asked questions
Does this filter help maintain airway moisture?
Yes, the Flexicare ThermoShield acts as an HME (Heat and Moisture Exchanger). It is specifically engineered to deliver 32 mg H₂O/L at a tidal volume of 500mL, helping to conserve the patient’s natural body heat and respiratory moisture during mechanical ventilation.
Is this filter easy for the patient to breathe through?
Yes, this unit is designed to minimize the work of breathing. It offers a low resistance to flow of 1.4 cm H₂O at 30 LPM, ensuring that the patient’s breathing effort remains as efficient as possible while maintaining high levels of filtration.
Can this be used for both bacterial and viral protection?
Absolutely. The ThermoShield is a high-performance filter designed specifically to trap both bacteria and viruses, providing an essential barrier to protect both the patient and the ventilation equipment during use.
Is the configuration compatible with standard circuits?
Yes, the device features a standard straight-line design, allowing for simple and seamless integration into most conventional medical breathing circuits.
Are these units new or refurbished?
All Flexicare ThermoShield units are supplied Factory New, ensuring they meet all medical safety and performance standards right out of the box.
What should I know about shipping and delivery?
This product ships directly from the manufacturer. Please note that there is an estimated lead time of 2-3 weeks for delivery.
Is there a way to monitor the patient during use?
Yes, the filter includes a built-in sampling port. It comes equipped with a secure, tethered blue cap that allows you to easily seal the port when it is not being used for monitoring.
Is the filter transparent for inspections?
Yes, the filter housing is constructed from clear, medical-grade plastic, which allows clinicians to visually inspect the internal media and check for moisture buildup or potential blockages easily.
How many units are included in a purchase?
Each purchase consists of a bulk box containing 50 individual filter units, making it a cost-effective and practical choice for hospitals or clinical facilities with high-volume needs.
What is the primary function of the ThermoShield?
The ThermoShield is a dual-function medical device. It provides high-efficiency filtration of pathogens while simultaneously acting as a heat and moisture exchanger to support the patient’s respiratory needs.
