Evatherm Breathing Circuit
Evatherm has a heater wire embedded in the wall of the breathing tube. This wire maintains the tube wall at a higher temperature than the humidified gas passing through, reducing the potential for condensation.
Non-heated breathing circuit
Humidified gas cools when passing through non-heated breathing circuits. This cooling can cause condensation, which reduces the amount of humidity delivered to the patient.
Minimizing condensate (rainout)
The graph illustrates the synergies between the MR810 Humidifier and the Evatherm Breathing Circuit. This combination reduces condensate by up to four times compared with a non-heated reusable breathing circuit.*
