Thermovent T Heat and Moisture Exchanger Box of 50 (100/570/015CZ)

Providing optimal respiratory care for patients with artificial airways requires dependable, high-quality equipment. The Thermovent T Heat and Moisture Exchanger Box of 50 (100/570/015CZ) is an essential, sterile, single-use medical device engineered to provide effective, passive humidification for spontaneously breathing patients whose upper airways have been bypassed by a tracheal or tracheostomy tube. By acting as an artificial nose, this device ensures inspired air is properly conditioned, safeguarding the respiratory tract and promoting better patient outcomes.

Why Choose This Product?

When a patient’s natural upper airway is bypassed, they lose the anatomical ability to warm and humidify the air they breathe. This can lead to a dangerous loss of heat and moisture through the bronchopulmonary tree, resulting in damaged tracheal epithelial cells and thick, encrusted secretions that can block the airway. The Thermovent T directly combats these risks. Its high-efficiency double paper element captures the patient’s exhaled heat and moisture and returns it on the next inhalation. By choosing this device, clinicians can prevent dangerous tube blockages, preserve delicate lung function, and seamlessly supply additional oxygen when required—all in a compact, patient-friendly format.

Key Features & Benefits

• Double Paper Element: Delivers exceptional heat and moisture exchange to effectively warm and humidify inspired air, with minimal resistance to the patient’s breathing flow.

• Prevents Complications: Drastically reduces the risk of tracheostomy tube blockage from encrustations and thickened secretions.

• Lightweight & Low Profile: The unobtrusive design significantly minimizes drag and tension on the tracheostomy tube, reducing stoma trauma and enhancing patient comfort.

• Supplemental Oxygen Ready: Easily and securely accommodates the Thermovent O2 adapter (100/575), providing a fast and convenient method for oxygen delivery.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with standard clinical breathing systems for versatile application.

• Bulk Supply: The convenient box of 50 ensures your medical facility remains well-stocked with these essential single-use respiratory aids.

Ideal Use Cases

• Spontaneously breathing adult and pediatric patients with a tidal volume of more than 70 mL.

• Patients with a newly established or long-term tracheostomy or tracheal tube.

• Use in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), respiratory step-down wards, and post-operative recovery rooms.

• Home healthcare settings where chronic tracheostomy patients require daily airway management and humidification.

Directions for Use

1. Remove the Thermovent T from its sterile packaging immediately prior to use.

2. Connect the device securely to the standard 15mm connector of the patient’s tracheostomy or tracheal tube.

3. If supplemental oxygen is required, attach the Thermovent O2 adapter (sold separately) to the Thermovent T, and connect your oxygen supply tubing.

4. Continuously monitor the patient’s airway for clearance and ensure the device does not become saturated or obstructed with secretions.

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Store in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, or high humidity.

• Single-Use Only: This is a sterile, disposable device intended for single-patient use. Do not clean, wash, or reuse, as this compromises the paper element and introduces cross-contamination risks.

• Replacement: Change the HME every 24 hours, or sooner if it becomes visibly soiled, contaminated with secretions, or if breathing resistance increases.
