About Portex Thermovent T2

Sterile, single use heat and moisture exchanger. Provides effective humidification for spontaneously breathing patients whose upper airways are bypassed by a tracheostomy tube. Device can be used for a maximum period of 24 hours. Now there is a new oxygen accessory line available. The Thermovent T2 Oxygen Line is a specific designated oxygen tube for use with the Portex Thermovent T2.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Simple opening port allows quick and easy access for a suction catheter to aid the removal of secretions.
Clear housing gives an aesthetic appearance and allows visualisation of contamination.
Integrated oxygen port that can provide up to 60% oxygen concentrations to the patient via the simplest of connections.
Original Portex Thermovent T paper media provides high level performance heat and moisture exchange to patient.
Smooth, rounded edges aids patient comfort.

Reliable Humidification for Ventilated Patients

The Portex Thermovent T2 effectively captures heat and moisture from exhaled air, returning it during inhalation for optimum respiratory humidification. This minimizes the risk of airway drying and helps maintain mucociliary function. With its high filtration efficiency and hydrophobic/hygroscopic filter, the device provides a safe barrier against bacterial and viral contamination. Its disposable, single-use construction reduces cross-contamination, ensuring patient safety in critical care settings.

User-Friendly and Convenient Design

Designed for quick integration into adult breathing circuits, the Thermovent T2 is lightweight, compact, and connects easily via standard 15 mm male/female ports. Its transparent/blue housing allows clear visibility, while its low resistance supports patient comfort and ventilation efficiency. Being portable and non-wall-mounted, it suits various hospital and clinical settings. Storage is simple-just keep it sealed in a cool, dry place until needed.

FAQ's of Portex Thermovent T2:

Q: How is the Portex Thermovent T2 installed in a breathing circuit?

A: The Thermovent T2 is designed for manual installation. Simply connect the 15 mm female or male ports to the appropriate ventilator circuit parts, ensuring a secure fit. Its universal sizing accommodates most adult respiratory systems.

Q: What is the primary function of the Portex Thermovent T2?

A: The device acts as a heat and moisture exchanger (HME), providing humidification by retaining heat and moisture from exhaled air and returning it during inhalation. This helps prevent airway dehydration and supports mucosal function in ventilated patients.

Q: When should the Portex Thermovent T2 be used?

A: It should be used whenever adult patients are on mechanical ventilation or require artificial respiration for humidifying inhaled gases and reducing contamination risks. It is intended for single-use and should be replaced according to clinical guidelines or if it becomes visibly soiled.

Q: Where should the Thermovent T2 be stored before use?

A: Store the device sealed in a cool, dry environment to ensure product integrity and maintain sterility. Avoid exposure to excessive humidity or direct sunlight before use.

Q: What benefits does the Thermovent T2 offer for respiratory care?

A: By providing effective humidification and high-level bacterial and viral filtration, the Thermovent T2 reduces the risk of cross-infection, supports mucociliary function, minimizes airway irritation, and is latex-free, making it suitable for sensitive patients.
