Cardinal Health DAR™ Adult - Pediatric HME

DAR™ Adult - Pediatric HME

This hygroscopic HME is an adult-pediatric heat and moisture exchanger for respiratory setups that use standard ISO fittings. It fits buyers who need moisture retention with low airflow resistance and convenient airway gas access in clinical workflows. The unit uses 15 mm and 22 mm connections, offers moisture output greater than 30 mg H2O/L, and comes clean in individual packaging.

Good Fit For

• Respiratory care setups needing an adult-pediatric HME
• Workflows that require access to airway gases through an end tidal CO2 port
• Facilities standardizing around ISO 15 mm and 22 mm fittings

Key Features

• Hygroscopic HME media traps the patient's own moisture and helps reduce heat loss
• Low airflow resistance supports respiratory use where flow matters
• Moisture output greater than 30 mg H2O/L
• End tidal CO2 port gives convenient access to airway gases
• ISO standard 15 mm and 22 mm fittings support common connection needs
• Clean, individually packaged format can simplify handling
