A heat and moisture exchanger (HME) captures heat and water vapor from a patient’s exhaled air. It then adds that heat and moisture to the patient’s inspired air, providing humidification. A recently published study showed that of 48 filters and HMEs tested, 3 DAR™ filter HMEs ranked in the top 10 for humidity output.

• Combined Filter/HME sized for pediatric use reduces set-up time, minimizes dead space and weight while maximizing efficiency
• Electrostatic hydrophobic membrane protects against cross-contamination
• Hygroscopic membrane traps patient's moisture providing effective airway humidification
• Low resistance to airflow minimizes work of breathing
• Effective moisture control reduces the risk of colonization in breathing tubes and minimizes sampling line blockage
• End tidal CO2 sampling port offers convenient access to airway gases
• ISO standard 15mm and 22mm fitting connects with breathing system
• Treated with physiologically safe calcium chloride
• Supplied clean and individually packaged
