1. Measured according to standard ISO 9360:2000. 2. Moisture loss is determined using dry gas (not room air). These products are in conformity with the relevantprovisions of the Council Directive 93/42/EEC, concerning medical devices, Annex I - Essential Requirements.
Changing frequency:
Change the frequency of Edith HME use after everypatient or every 24 hours, when used continuously onthe same patient.
Contraindications:
Edith HMEs are contraindicated in patients producingfulminating, frothy secretions within their airways andlungs. Edith HMEs should not be used on patients withvery small tidal volumes, such as neonates or very smallchildren. They should not be used with active humidifiersor nebulizers.
Connections:
Edith HMEs intended for artificially ventilated patientsshould be placed between the proximal end of the artificialairway and the Y-piece of the breathing circuit. The EdithTrach should be placed on the tracheostomy tube.
