Patient breathing circuit heat and moisture exchanger

Product Info
The CRUZINE HME Filter (Heat and Moisture Exchanger Filter) integrates passive humidification with bacterial and viral filtration for use in mechanically ventilated patients. Designed for single‑use clinical applications, the device maintains airway humidity and temperature while filtering microorganisms to support a clean respiratory circuit.

Product Details
Generic Name: Heat & Moisture Exchange Filter (HME Filter)
Material: Medical‑Grade PVC with filtration membrane and moisture‑retaining medium
Type: Respiratory filtration and humidification device (HME + BVF)
Capacity: Adult and Pediatric variants available
Pack Size: Single sterile unit, disposable
Usage: For insertion in ventilator and anesthesia circuits to maintain airway humidity/temperature and filter bacteria/viruses

Key Features

• Combined HME and BVF function: Passive heat and moisture exchange with bacterial/viral filtration in one device.
• High filtration efficiency: Filtration membrane captures airborne microorganisms and particles.
• Humidification performance: Moisture‑retaining medium helps reduce mucosal drying and secretion plugging.
• Transparent medical‑grade PVC construction: Allows visual inspection of the circuit.
• Universal connector: Compatible with standard ventilator and anesthesia circuits.
• Single‑use and sterile packaging: Minimizes cross‑contamination risk in clinical settings.

FAQ

• Q1. What is an HME Filter used for? — To maintain humidity and temperature in the patient airway while filtering bacteria and viruses in ventilator and anesthesia systems.
• Q2. Is the CRUZINE HME Filter reusable? — No. It is a sterile, single‑use device intended to prevent cross‑contamination.
• Q3. What materials are used? — Medical‑grade PVC, a high‑efficiency filtration membrane, and a moisture‑retaining medium.
• Q4. What sizes are available? — Adult and Pediatric variants to fit clinical needs.
• Q5. How does the BVF function? — The bacterial and viral filter element captures micro‑particles, bacteria and viruses to protect the circuit and patient.
• Q6. Is it compatible with all ventilators? — The filter uses a universal connector compatible with most standard ventilator and anesthesia circuits.
• Q7. Is it suitable for long‑term ventilation? — Suitable for continuous or short‑term mechanical ventilation in ICU, OT and emergency settings as indicated by local protocols.
