RESPIRATORY FILTER

HME Filter
BVF Filter

HME Filter

Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) Filter is used for ventilated patients to avoid complications related to respiratory mucosa. We have different HME filters for an adult and a child.

List of Raw Materials:
  • The HME filter is produced from Polycarbonate (PC), Filter and Filter paper.
  • The material also contains PP-medical grade, Filter and Filter paper.
Features of HME Filter:
  • The HME filter is used with a combination of breathing circuits and tracheal tubes.
  • It provides enough moisture and heat output that it has low resistance to flow control. It also has bi-directional filtration with bacterial/viral efficiency.
  • It offers cross-contamination protection for critical patients by passing clinical gas.
Advantages
HME Filter

During expiration, HMEs save heat and moisture, which they then make available to the entering dry medicinal gases during inspiration.

Heat and moisture from your breath are caught in an HME that is put immediately over your stoma when you exhale. Before the air you inhale reaches your lungs, it gets re-heated and re-moisturized. HMEs assist your lungs operate better by adding a small amount of resistance to your breathing.

  • Easy and portable
  • Low weight
  • Indirect heat generation
  • Compared to heated humidifiers, it is less expensive
  • Safeguard patients from anaesthesia equipment contamination
  • To keep the anaesthesia breathing circuit clean

BVF Filter

To avoid heat and moisture loss, a breathing filter with a heat and moisture exchanger is utilised at the patient end connection of a breathing system. The filters are aimed at preventing microbiological cross-infection when a breathing apparatus is used to ventilate an infectious patient.

We have two kinds of BVF Filter:
  1. Adult
  2. Child
Features of BVF Filter:
  • Bacterial Viral Efficiency of 99.99 percent
  • HME moisture production is excellent.
  • CO2 Port HME Membrane 22M/15F - 15M/22F ISO connections
  • Use with a single patient
Advantages
BVF Filter

Breathing filters are utilised in anaesthesia and intensive care to provide excellent proven filtration efficiency. These filters are intended to protect the patient, medical staff, and equipment from microbial contamination.

Breathing filters assist a patient enduring anesthesia or in intensive care with the usual heating, humidification, and filtration processes of the upper airway. Biological viral filters limit transfer of dangerous particulate matter and germs from the surrounding environment into the breathing system.

If the breathing system is used for more than one patient during procedures involving anaesthesia, the use of filters is recommended to limit the danger of cross-infection.

After each patient, it is advised that the filter be changed. If the filters are being used on a single patient for an extended period of time, they should be changed every 24 hours.

  • Filters drops, particles, germs, and viruses from the airstream with a cross contamination effectiveness of more than 99 percent.
  • During pulmonary function testing, a BVF protects the patient, operator, and equipment against cross infection and contamination.
  • Improved hygiene at a reduced cost of operation.
