Heat Moisture Exchanges for Respiration/Ventilators/Breathing-Circuit

    Hi All,

    Some organizations report only "Moisture Output" for HME Filter, but we see that the ISO 9360 standard only provides a methodology for evaluating "Moisture Loss". Further, in ISO 9360 it does not appear that there are performance limits for Moisture Output or Moisture Loss in the current version of ISO 9360. Is there a current recommended min/max threshold for Moisture Output and/or Moisture Loss for HME filters?

    Regards
