Heat and Moisture Exchanger Filter (HMEF) is usually incorporated with a microbiological filter that provides passive humidification.
HME Filter provides adequate humidification of inspired gas reduces the airway resistance, and lowers the incidence of infections and maintains the respiratory loads.
Heat and Moisture exchanger filter is designed to enhance the protection against airborne microbes like bacteria virus etc. It is commonly employed in ICU for ventilation purposes to ensure proper humidification of inspired air.
TECHNICAL FEATURES:HME Filter provides adequate humidification of inspired gas reduces the airway resistance, and lowers the incidence of infections and maintains the respiratory loads.
HME filter provide protection against airborne microbes like bacteria virus etc. and employed in ICU for ventilation purpose to ensure proper humidification of inspired air.
Every 48 hrs, A HME that is being used on a patient ought to be changed.
