Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the lifespan of the filter?
The Humidotrach filter is a single-use product and should be replaced regularly, according to the manufacturer's or doctor's instructions, typically every 24 hours or sooner if necessary.
Why is HME filter use important for tracheotomized patients?
Patients with a tracheostomy bypass the natural function of the nose for humidifying, heating, and filtering the air. Using an HME filter is essential to prevent dryness, irritation, and respiratory infections.
Can the filter be used with oxygen supply?
Yes, the filter has a built-in oxygen port, allowing for simultaneous use with oxygen therapy systems. This feature makes it particularly convenient for patients requiring respiratory support.
