Teleflex Humid-Vent Heat and Moisture Exchanger

Teleflex Humid-Vent Heat and Moisture Exchanger

The Teleflex Humid-Vent Heat and Moisture Exchanger (Aqua+® HCH) is engineered to maintain airway humidity and temperature for patients on mechanical ventilation. Utilizing a fiber-free, cellular hygroscopically treated media, this heat and moisture exchanger delivers reliable humidification performance, measured at 38.11 mg H₂O/L at a tidal volume of 500 mL, with minimal airway resistance of 1.19 cm H₂O at 30 LPM.

Designed for patients with a tidal volume range of 300–1500 mL, this lightweight device weighs just 16 grams, reducing added weight and strain on ventilator circuits and patient airways. The filtered construction provides a bacterial/viral filtration efficiency of 99.99%, helping reduce the risk of cross-contamination between the patient and ventilator circuit — an important consideration for respiratory therapists and clinical staff managing infection control protocols.

As a single-use, disposable heat and moisture exchanger, the Aqua+ HCH supports consistent, hygienic respiratory care without the need for cleaning or reprocessing between uses. Its one-piece construction with flexible tubing helps ease patient positioning and circuit management in both hospital and long-term care settings.
