Manufacturer: Optimal Healthcare Inc

A novel approach to ventilation management, the Gibeck® Humid-Flo® HME promotes best practices for VAP risk reduction. Designed to remain in-line for 72 hours even when aerosol treatments are given. Two operating modes, HME and AEROSOL, are enabled by rotating the blue collar. Select HME, and the Gibeck Humid-Flo will operate as a traditional Heat & Moisture Exchanger. Select AEROSOL, and the HME element is bypassed and a center passageway is exposed, allowing the delivery of aerosolized medication.
