Mallinckrodt Heat and Moisture Exchanger with Electrostatic Filter is designed to increase the resistance to gas flow to assist with breathing while protecting against transmission of microorganisms for mechanically ventilated patients. Heat Moisture Exchangers are used to bypass the upper airway when a patient is under anesthesia or in an intensive care setting. The Electrostatic Filter controls or traps moisture and retains a portion of the patient's exhaled breath and humidifies it to prevent colonization in the breathing tube. This Electrostatic Filter uses positive charges to attract particles and negative charges to capture particles to effectively remove bacteria to protect the patient's airway and prevent infection.

Large, Adult/Pediatric: 15m Connection Type, 84ml Dead Space, Without Port, 300-1500 mL
Features:
- Single Patient Use
- Intended to be replaced at least once every 24 hours
- Protects against microbes as small as 0.02µ.
- Bacterial/Viral filtration efficiency: >99.99%
- Low resistance to airflow reduces work of breathing.
- End tidal CO2 sampling port offers convenient access to airway gases.
- ISO standard 15 mm and 22 mm fitting connects with breathing system.
- Hygroscopic membrane traps patient?s moisture providing effective airway humidification.
- On anesthetized patients and respiratory care patients who require a breathing circuit
- Effective moisture control reduces the risk of colonization in breathing tubes and reduces sampling line blockage.
- Combined filter / HME reduces set up time, and reduces dead space and weight on endotracheal tube and circuit while increasing efficiency.
