Product Overview
The ICU Medical FKA Smiths Medical - 570017 - Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME), Non-Sterile is designed to efficiently retain heat and moisture during mechanical ventilation or spontaneous breathing. It features a corrugated paper media that ensures optimal humidification while maintaining low airflow resistance.
Features:
- Non-sterile design for cost-effective use in clinical settings.
- Lightweight construction at 5g for minimal patient discomfort.
- Corrugated paper media enhances moisture retention.
- Low resistance to airflow (2.0 cm H2O at 60 L/min) for reduced breathing effort.
- Delivers a moisture output of 25 mg H2O/L at 34 C for a 1,000 mL tidal volume.
- Standard 15 mm I.D. raised fenestration connection ensures secure attachment to breathing circuits.
Specifications:
- Weight: 5g
- Media Type: Corrugated paper
