Dar Adult To Pediatric Hme Small, Vt 100 To 1000 Ml Size

What is SH353U5413-Each Dar Adult To Pediatric Hme Small, Vt 100 To 1000 Ml Size?

The SH353U5413-Each Dar Adult To Pediatric Hme Small, Vt 100 To 1000 Ml Size is a single-use, sterile heat and moisture exchanger (HME) designed to bridge adult ventilator circuits to pediatric patients. It supports tidal volumes ranging from 100 to 1000 mL, making it suitable for children and smaller patients transitioning from adult-sized respiratory equipment. Featuring ISO-standard 22mm female to 15mm male and 22mm male to 15mm female connectors, it ensures secure, leak-free connections between breathing circuits and artificial airways like endotracheal tubes. This HME helps maintain airway temperature and humidity during mechanical ventilation, reducing the risk of mucosal drying and airway complications.

Key features

• Compatible Tidal Volume — Supports 100 to 1000 mL, ideal for pediatric and small adult patients.
• ISO Standard Connections — 22mm/15mm dual-gender connectors ensure universal fit.
• Heat and Moisture Exchange — Preserves airway warmth and humidity during ventilation.
• Compact Design — Low dead space enhances breathing efficiency in smaller patients.
• Sterile and Single-Use — Reduces infection risk; intended for one patient, one use.
• Smooth Airflow Path — Minimizes resistance for easier ventilation.
• Transparent Housing — Allows visual inspection for condensation or blockage.

Who is SH353U5413-Each Dar Adult To Pediatric Hme Small, Vt 100 To 1000 Ml Size for?

This HME is designed for healthcare providers managing pediatric patients on mechanical ventilation, especially when adapting adult ventilator systems. It's used in hospitals, ICUs, transport settings, and long-term care facilities where transitioning between adult and pediatric respiratory circuits is necessary. Clinicians, respiratory therapists, and home care providers benefit from its reliable performance and compatibility.

How does SH353U5413-Each Dar Adult To Pediatric Hme Small, Vt 100 To 1000 Ml Size compare?

Compared to standard adult HMEs, this model offers a smaller tidal volume range and dual connector types, making it more adaptable for pediatric use. Unlike basic filters, it actively retains heat and moisture, supporting healthier airway function. It outperforms generic inline filters in humidification efficiency and is more specialized than universal HMEs that lack pediatric-specific design.
