Frequently asked questions

Is the filtration system effective for patient protection?

Yes, it provides high-level protection. The device features an advanced electrostatic filter that is clinically tested to provide:

99.999% BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency)
99.98% VFE (Viral Filtration Efficiency)

Does this HME effectively prevent airway drying?

Yes, it is designed for optimal moisture retention. It utilizes hygroscopic, bacteriostatic media to capture heat and moisture from exhaled breath and return it during inhalation, delivering an impressive 33 mg H₂O/L at a 500 mL tidal volume.

Can I connect this to standard ventilation equipment?

Absolutely. It is designed for maximum versatility with industry-standard 15/22mm ISO male/female connections, making it compatible with most adult ventilator circuits, ET tubes, and face masks.

Is it suitable for various adult tidal volumes?

Yes, the device is specifically engineered for adult patients and is effective for a wide tidal volume range of 300 to 1250 mL.

Does it include a port for gas monitoring?

Yes, it features a built-in gas sampling port on the patient-side connection, which comes securely capped with a tethered plug for easy access during clinical procedures.

Will this device add significant resistance to breathing?

No, it is designed to be low-resistance to ensure patient comfort, maintaining a resistance level of only 1.0 cm H₂O at 30 LPM.

Is the device lightweight for clinical use?

Yes, the device is designed with a lightweight, compact, and low-profile polypropylene housing, weighing only 46 grams, which helps minimize tension on the patient’s airway.

Is the internal filter technology advanced?

Yes, it utilizes high-performance electrostatic filter media housed within a durable, clear polypropylene shell, allowing clinicians to visually monitor the device during use.

Is this device safe for hospital-grade respiratory therapy?

The AirLife HME is an essential, professional-grade component designed specifically for clinical and hospital respiratory settings that require reliable, combined humidification and pathogen filtration.

What is the internal dead space of this unit?

The unit is designed with an internal dead space of 80 mL, balancing effective moisture exchange with the requirements for adult respiratory support.
