Compact HME Filter for CPAP Users - 10 Pack

The MaxMed Heat Moisture Exchange (HME) filter for CPAP machines is designed to provide passive humidification during CPAP therapy. The HME filter must be connected to a mask with a simple elbow in order to function properly, as it needs to be very close to the moisture of the exhaled air. The moisture is then returned into the air stream for inhalation, helping to prevent dryness at the lungs.

When selecting a mask, it is important to note that the MaxMed HME filter will not work with masks that have a short tube extended from the mask frame. The HME filter must be in close proximity to the moisture of the exhaled air to achieve optimal results.

Initially, the manufacturer found the HME to be suitable only for one night's use. However, after further research and testing, the device has been approved for up to seven (7) nights' usage. The MaxMed HME filter is manufactured in the USA and is compatible with all CPAP, APAP, or BiPAP machines.

Regarding cleaning, the MaxMed HME cannot be cleaned. The device is designed for single-use, and it is not intended to be reused or cleaned by the user.

In summary, the MaxMed Heat Moisture Exchange (HME) filter for CPAP machines is a passive humidification device that must be connected to a mask with a simple elbow to function effectively. It is approved for up to seven nights' usage and is compatible with all CPAP, APAP, or BiPAP machines. However, the device cannot be cleaned and is intended for single-use only.
