Frequently asked questions

Is this HME suitable for infant respiratory support?

Yes, this Medtronic HME is specifically engineered for infant and pediatric use. Its design focuses on minimizing dead space (29 mL) and reducing weight to ensure it is appropriate and safe for smaller patients.

How effective is the integrated filter against pathogens?

The device features an advanced electrostatic hydrophobic membrane that provides 99.99% BFE and VFE efficiency, offering a high level of protection against both bacteria and viruses to guard against cross-contamination.

Does this design help reduce the patient's breathing effort?

Absolutely. It is constructed with low-resistance airflow properties (3.0 cm H₂O @ 30 LPM). This minimizes the work of breathing, which is essential for improving clinical outcomes and overall patient comfort during ventilation.

How does it handle moisture management?

This HME maintains a consistent moisture output of 31 mg H₂O/L. This level is optimized to: <ul><li>Reduce the risk of colonization in breathing circuits</li><li>Prevent sampling line blockages</li><li>Maintain necessary airway moisture levels</li></ul>

What is the physical weight of this unit?

The unit is designed to be lightweight to avoid strain on the patient’s airway, weighing only 21 grams.

Can this device be used with gas sampling lines?

Yes, the unit is equipped with a dedicated gas sampling port located on the side of the chamber, which comes sealed with a secure, tethered cap for convenience.

What are the standard connection specifications?

The device features a standard 22 M / 15 F connection type, making it compatible with standard ventilator breathing circuits.

What is the recommended volume capacity for this filter?

This specific HME is optimized for clinical use within a volume capacity range of 75 to 300 mL.
