Frequently asked questions
Does this HME provide reliable bacterial filtration?
Yes, this unit offers exceptional protection. It features a high-efficiency hygroscopic filter that provides bacterial and viral filtration efficiencies exceeding 99.9%, helping to significantly reduce the risk of breathing system colonization.
Is the humidifier safe for patient use?
Absolutely. It utilizes a hygroscopic condensing humidifier (HCH) design treated with physiologically safe calcium chloride. This method effectively traps patient moisture and heat without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
Will this device increase the patient's breathing effort?
The device is specifically engineered with a low-resistance design to minimize the patient’s work of breathing. It is tested to have a low resistance of 2.5 cm H₂O at 30 LPM, ensuring it remains unobtrusive during ventilation or anesthesia.
Can this be used for both adults and children?
Yes, it is highly versatile. Due to its compact “mini” design and a tidal volume range of 150 mL to 1000 mL, this HME is perfectly suitable for a wide range of both pediatric and adult applications.
Is it easy to monitor the unit during use?
Yes. The housing is constructed from a clear, transparent material, which allows clinicians to easily perform visual inspections of the humidification progress and internal status at any time.
Does it support routine CO2 monitoring?
Yes, it is designed for seamless clinical integration. It includes an integrated luer-lock gas sampling port that allows for convenient CO2 monitoring without the need to disconnect the circuit or compromise system integrity.
Will it fit my standard breathing circuits?
The device features standard ISO connections to ensure a secure, leak-resistant fit. It is equipped with: 22 mm O.D. / 15 mm I.D. x 22 mm I.D. / 15 mm O.D. ports.
Are there any natural rubber latex materials used?
No. This product is manufactured with material safety in mind and is explicitly not made with natural rubber latex.
What is the expected moisture output performance?
This HME delivers efficient humidification performance with a moisture output of 29.2 mg H₂O/L at a tidal volume of 500 mL, ensuring the patient’s airway remains properly hydrated.
Is this product TAA compliant for government use?
Yes, this McKesson Heat and Moisture Exchanger is fully TAA compliant and is eligible for VA procurement.
