Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) Breathing Filters — Adult
-
Purpose & Use
-
An HME filter is a medical device used in respiratory care to humidify and filter inspired air in mechanically ventilated patients or during anesthesia.
-
Protects the patient’s lungs by trapping heat and moisture from exhaled air and returning it to inhaled air, preventing drying of the airways.
-
Also acts as a bacterial/viral filter, reducing the risk of infection.
-
-
Target Patient Population
-
Specifically designed for adult patients with standard adult breathing circuits.
-
Fits standard connectors for adult ventilators, anesthesia machines, or resuscitation bags.
-
-
Structure & Components
-
Outer casing: usually medical-grade plastic, lightweight and transparent in some designs.
-
Filter medium: synthetic or electrostatic material that traps bacteria, viruses, and particles.
-
HME element: absorbs heat and moisture from exhaled air and returns it during inhalation.
-
Standard connectors: usually 22 mm male/female ends compatible with adult breathing circuits.
-
-
Performance
-
Filtration efficiency: high-efficiency bacterial/viral filtration (>99%).
-
Moisture retention: maintains airway humidity comparable to normal physiological conditions.
-
Reduces airway irritation, mucosal drying, and thickened secretions.
-
-
Advantages
-
Combines humidification and filtration in a single device.
-
Lightweight, compact, and easy to attach to ventilator or anesthesia circuits.
-
Disposable, reducing cross-contamination risk.
-
Simple to use without adding extra water reservoirs or external humidifiers.
-
-
Usage Guidelines
-
Typically single-use; replace according to manufacturer instructions or when clogged.
-
Must be securely attached to the breathing circuit to prevent leaks.
-
Monitor for increased resistance, moisture buildup, or contamination during prolonged use.
-
Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) Breathing Filters — Paediatric
-
Purpose & Use
-
Paediatric HME filters are designed for children and infants requiring mechanical ventilation or anesthesia.
-
They humidify inhaled air and filter bacteria and viruses, protecting the delicate airways of young patients.
-
Prevent drying of airway mucosa, thickened secretions, and potential lung injury.
-
-
Target Patient Population
-
Specifically sized for paediatric breathing circuits (neonates, infants, and children).
-
Connectors are smaller than adult versions, compatible with paediatric ventilators and resuscitation devices.
-
-
Structure & Components
