Medtronic is proud to manufacture the best items for respiratory care. The Hygroscopic HME for Adult and Pediatric Patients traps the patient's moisture and reduces heat loss. This device works via a hygroscopic HME media that has very low airflow resistance and a moisture output that's greater than 30 mg H2O/L (ISO 9360, Vt 750 ml). You also have the benefit of an end tidal CO2 sampling port that offers convenient access to airway gases, and ISO standard 15 mm and 22 mm fittings.
Usage Indications
These HME device is supplied clean and individually packaged for your convenience. They are meant for single patient use on anesthetized patients, as well as respiratory care patients that require a breathing circuit.
This product is intended to be replaced at least once every 24 hours.
