Frequently asked questions
Does this provide effective filtration against pathogens?
Yes, this device offers high-performance protection. It features a 99.9% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency (BFE/VFE) to significantly minimize the risk of contamination within breathing systems.
Is the humidifier safe for the patient?
Absolutely. It utilizes a hygroscopic membrane treated with calcium chloride to capture the patient’s own moisture. This method provides superior humidification output without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
Will this make breathing difficult for the patient?
The device is engineered with a low-resistance design to ensure ease of use. With a resistance of just 1.43 cm H₂O at 30 LPM, it is specifically built to help reduce the patient’s work of breathing.
Is this suitable for adult patients?
Yes, the ‘Maxi’ design is specifically optimized for adults. It supports a tidal volume range of 350 mL to 1500 mL, making it versatile for various respiratory therapy needs.
Can I easily monitor the unit during use?
Yes, the HME is constructed with a clear, durable plastic housing. This allows clinicians to perform easy visual inspections of humidification levels throughout the treatment.
Is this product made with latex?
No, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring it is suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.
Is the device compatible with standard hospital equipment?
Yes, it features ISO-standard connections (22 mm O.D. / 15 mm I.D. X 22 mm I.D. Port), allowing for a secure, leak-resistant attachment to most anesthesia circuits and ventilators.
Does the unit allow for easy gas sampling?
Yes, it includes a conveniently located luer connection at the top of the housing, which allows for efficient and quick gas sampling during clinical use.
Does this require any assembly before use?
No, the device requires zero assembly. It comes ready for immediate integration into your existing anesthesia circuits or ventilator systems.
How much moisture output can I expect?
The device provides a consistent moisture output of 32.1 mg H₂O/L at a tidal volume of 500 mL, ensuring reliable humidification performance for the patient.
