Infant-pediatric
electrostatic lter, small
A heat and moisture exchanger (HME) captures heat and water
vapor from a patient’s exhaled air. It then adds that heat and
moisture to the patient’s inspired air, providing humidication.
A recently published study showed that of 48 lters and
HMEs tested, 3 DAR
™
lter HMEs ranked in the top 10 for
humidity output.
