Ventilator filters and HMEs

DAR™ electrostatic filter HME

<p>The DAR™&nbsp;electrostatic filter HME helps protect against cross-contamination while minimizing heat and moisture loss from patient airways.</p>

Features

  • Low resistance to flow reduces work of breathing, compared to mechanical filters1
  • End tidal oxygen sampling port offers convenient access to airway gases; some filters feature a tethered cap for this port
  • ISO 15 mm and 22 mm fitting connects with breathing system
