About Thermovent T2 Hme Filter

THERMOTRACH HEAT AND MOISTURE EXCHANGER Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) for spontaneously breathing patients fitted with a tracheostomy tube.Features

15mm Female Connector
The standard 15mm connector is compatible with all tracheostomy tubes.

Anatomical Curved Design
The curved design follows the contour of the neck.

Self-sealing Suction Port & Integral Cough Vent
The airway can be cleared by inserting a suction catheter through the integrated self-sealing suction port. The port also acts as a vent that can open during vigorous coughing to allow thick mucosal secretions to be expelled, avoiding blocking of the airway.

Clear Construction
Clear housing permits visual examination for potential occlusion or accumulation of secretions which could block the airway.

Swivel Oxygen Connector
Supplementary oxygen can be provided by attachment to the ThermoTrach swivel oxygen connector which can be angled to the most convenient and comfortable position, reducing the risk of disconnection, kinking and drag against the patient.

The oxygen flows through the HME to be warmed and humidified before reaching the patient.

Efficient Humidification and Filtration

Thermovent T2 utilizes heat and moisture exchange technology to provide optimal humidification and filtration. With a dead space of approximately 45 ml and moisture output greater than 28 mg H2O/L per tidal volume of 500 ml, it maintains ideal airway conditions while minimizing pressure drop. Its advanced filtering element achieves bacterial filtration efficiency over 99.999% and viral filtration efficiency over 99.99%, contributing to safer respiratory support environments.

Designed for Safety and Convenience

Engineered for single-patient use, the Thermovent T2 ensures both patient safety and operational convenience. The transparent, blue plastic housing allows for easy inspection, while its compact design, silent operation, and lack of power requirements make it suitable for diverse clinical settings. With a shelf life of up to 3 years, it can be stored efficiently in cool, dry places, ready for immediate usage when needed.

FAQ's of Thermovent T2 Hme Filter:

Q: How do you install the Thermovent T2 HME Filter in a ventilator circuit?

A: Installation is simple: connect the Thermovent T2 between the patient's airway and the ventilator breathing circuit using its standard 15 mm / 22 mm connectors, ensuring a secure fit before starting respiratory support.

Q: What is the primary function of the Thermovent T2 in respiratory therapy?

A: The Thermovent T2 serves to humidify inspired air while simultaneously providing highly efficient bacterial and viral filtration, optimizing airway conditions and reducing infection risk during mechanical ventilation.

Q: When should the Thermovent T2 HME Filter be replaced?

A: As a disposable, single-patient use device, the Thermovent T2 should be replaced after each patient use or per clinical protocol, especially when resistance increases, visible obstruction occurs, or moisture output diminishes.

Q: Where is the Thermovent T2 most commonly used?

A: It is primarily deployed in hospital respiratory care settings such as ventilator circuits and anaesthesia applications, supporting adult patients who require heat and moisture exchange and air filtration.

Q: What benefits does the Thermovent T2 offer for adult patients?

A: The Thermovent T2 provides reliable humidification and filtration, helping to maintain airway moisture and reduce exposure to airborne pathogens, thereby supporting patient comfort and safety during therapy.

Q: Is the Thermovent T2 easy to transport or use outside the hospital?

A: Yes, weighing only 25 grams and featuring a portable design, the Thermovent T2 can be easily transported, making it suitable for various clinical settings requiring efficient respiratory humidification and filtration.

Q: How should the Thermovent T2 HME Filter be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: For optimal shelf life of up to 3 years, store the Thermovent T2 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its performance and integrity.
