Description
The Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) without filter and no port, designated as DBD-Exchanger, is a medical device designed to provide efficient heat and moisture exchange during mechanical ventilation. This specific HME model is characterized by its absence of a filter and port.
The primary function of the HME is to retain the heat and moisture from a patient's exhaled air and deliver it back to the inhaled air, helping to maintain optimal humidity levels in the respiratory system. In this DBD-Exchanger, the absence of a filter means it doesn't incorporate a filtration element into the device.
This type of HME is typically used in respiratory care settings to support patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The choice of an HME without a filter and port may be based on specific medical requirements or preferences for ventilation strategies.
