The HUMID-VENT Filter Compact with HME 19401T is a combined heat and moisture exchanger (HME) and filter designed for use in respiratory care, particularly in anesthesia and intensive care. It's a compact, lightweight device that provides both humidification and filtration to protect the patient and equipment from airborne pathogens and maintain airway moisture. 

 

 

Key Features:

Compact and Lightweight:
The Humid-Vent Compact is designed to be small and easy to handle, minimizing dead space and resistance in the breathing circuit. 

Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME):
It functions as an HME, capturing heat and moisture from the patient's exhaled breath and transferring it to the inhaled air, thus humidifying the airway. 

Bacterial and Viral Filtration:
The filter provides bi-directional filtration, protecting the patient from airborne pathogens and the ventilator from contamination. 

Low Resistance to Flow:
The design minimizes resistance to airflow, making it suitable for patients with low tidal volumes or those requiring mechanical ventilation.

 
Minimal Dead Space:
It is designed with minimal dead space to reduce rebreathing of carbon dioxide. 

Tidal Volume Range:
It is designed for tidal volumes ranging from 150 to 1000 ml, making it suitable for both adult and pediatric patients. 

High Moisture Output:
The device provides a moisture output of 35.57 mg H2O/L. 

Filtration Efficiency:
It provides bacterial filtration efficiency of 99.99988% and viral filtration efficiency of 99.9989%.
