RespVent HMEF 1000 Heat Moisture Exchanger with Intergrated Bacterial/Viral Filter & Sampling Port. The Heat and Moisture Exchanger and Filter is a disposable single-use device indicated for patients who require humidification during the delivery of ventilator gases and provide filtration for reducing possible cross contamination between patient and equipment. The products mentioned above are designed for disposable use and should be changed at least every 24 hours.
A device intended to be placed within a breathing circuit proximal to the patient, to remove and retain microbes whilst capturing the patient's exhaled heat and moisture so that they can be used to heat and humidify the therapeutic gases inspired by the patient. It is typically a plastic housing which contains both a bidirectional microbial filter, intended to reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients, and a heat/moisture exchanger (HME), intended to maintain the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. It is typically used during anaesthesia or periods of prolonged respiratory support/therapy. This is a single-use device.
