About this product

Quick answer: These are adult heat and moisture exchange (HME) filters, supplied in a 50-pack (part 24967). An HME — sometimes called an "artificial nose" - sits in the breathing circuit near the patient: it captures heat and moisture from exhaled air and returns them on the next breath, while its filter media helps keep the circuit clean. Single-patient, disposable consumables — replace per the manufacturer's instructions and your clinical protocol.

What's included

50 × adult HME filters (part 24967)

Breathing circuit, ventilator, and patient interface not included.

About these filters

When a person breathes through a ventilator circuit, the normal warming and humidifying job of the nose and upper airway is bypassed. An HME restores some of that passively: as the patient exhales, the HME media captures warmth and moisture; on the next inhalation, that warmth and moisture are returned to the delivered gas. This helps keep secretions from drying out and makes therapy more comfortable, without needing an active heated humidifier.

The filter element additionally helps keep contaminants out of the circuit — useful for infection-control protocols and for protecting equipment.

This is the adult size (adult tidal volumes and dead space) — pediatric patients use a different HME. A 50-pack is the practical fulfillment size for clinics, home-care agencies, and anyone changing HMEs on a regular schedule.

Use & safety notes

Fit the HME in the position specified in your circuit setup — normally between the patient interface and the circuit. Replace it per the manufacturer's instructions (commonly every 24 hours, and sooner if it becomes visibly soiled, wet, or resistant to flow), because a saturated or clogged HME increases breathing resistance. Do not use an HME together with active heated humidification unless your clinical protocol specifically allows it — the combination can saturate the HME. Monitor for increased resistance and follow your clinical team's guidance.

Frequently asked questions

What is an HME filter? A passive "artificial nose" that captures heat and moisture from exhaled breath and returns them on the next inhalation, with filter media that helps keep the circuit clean.

How many are in the pack? Fifty.

Is this the adult or pediatric size? Adult. Pediatric patients require a different HME.

How often should it be changed? Typically every 24 hours, and sooner if it becomes visibly soiled, wet, or harder to breathe through. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your clinical protocol.

Can I use it with a heated humidifier at the same time? Generally no — the combination can saturate the HME. Follow your clinical team's protocol.

Do I need a prescription? Yes — respiratory consumables are used under clinical direction. Confirm your setup with your provider.

Can I get them delivered in Brooklyn or shipped nationwide? Yes — Task Supply Corp offers USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S., plus local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and all five boroughs of New York City.

For use under clinical direction. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and replacement, and your provider's or facility's protocol. Replace immediately if breathing resistance increases or the device becomes soiled or saturated.
