(oxygen concentrator 5-10 litres) AIRBORNE MODULE
Valid Article
MODULE AIRBORNE for O2 concentrator
Indications
The airborne module for the oxygen concentrator is aimed to prevent retro-contamination of the concentrator by the patient.
It avoids to change the antibacterial filter located inside the concentrator by the setting up of an additional single patient anti-bacterial filter outside the concentrator . This filter is located between the outlet of the oxygen and the humidifier. Once used, the filter should be discarded as infectious waste. The other parts of this circuit can be autoclaved and reused.
Specifications
This module contains:
- 2 x reusable humidifier
- 100 x antibacterial/antiviral filters with filter of 0.2 µ
- 2 x female connections to be fixed on the concentrator
- silicone tubing and fixation material
Because the antibacterial filter is hydrophobe it is important to follow the correct sequence when mounting the kit. The sequence must be the following: outlet of oxygen –> filter –> humidifier –> patient. The inversion of the filter and the humidifier would cause a strengthening of the filters' fibres and an obstruction of the oxygen circuit.
The oxygen concentrator is not included in the module and must be ordered separately.
