Carefusion 5708HEPA - HEPA HCH Filter for Advanced Heat and Moisture Exchange in Respiratory Therapy

Carefusion 5708HEPA - HEPA HCH Filter for Advanced Heat and Moisture Exchange in Respiratory Therapy

The Carefusion 5708HEPA HCH Filter combines Heat and Moisture Exchange (HCH) with High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration to deliver superior protection and humidification in respiratory care settings. This sterile, single-use filter is engineered to retain heat and moisture from exhaled air while capturing airborne particles, bacteria, and viruses with high efficiency, enhancing both patient safety and equipment longevity.

Designed for use in ventilator circuits, anesthesia machines, and respiratory support systems, this HCH filter provides dual-function performanceoffering both humidity retention and high-level filtration. Its compact, lightweight design minimizes circuit drag while maintaining low resistance for optimal airflow.

Key Benefits

• Dual-action HCH and HEPA performance: Provides effective humidification and microbial filtration.

• Removes =99.97% of airborne particles =0.3 microns, helping prevent cross-contamination.

• Supports heat and moisture retention to maintain patient airway condition.

• Low resistance to airflow ensures patient comfort and ventilator accuracy.

• Sterile and disposable to maintain infection control in critical care settings.

• Universal connector for compatibility with standard breathing circuits.
