01
High-Efficiency Filtration Against Cross-Contamination
CONTAMINATED AIR FILTERED CLEAN AIR Pre-Filter BFE VFE Hydrophobic Barrier Support >99.99% BFE / VFE CLEAN
BFE/VFE performance >99.99% helps block airborne pathogens and aerosolized contaminants.
Hydrophobic membrane structures reduce moisture penetration and bacterial migration.
Integrated respiratory filters minimize bidirectional cross-contamination risks between patient and ventilator systems.

Vmax Controlled drainage Low secretion retention Reduced microbial growth
Smooth-bore tubing improves airflow efficiency while reducing secretion retention.
Low-condensation circuit design helps minimize microbial growth in humid environments.
Controlled water drainage pathways lower the risk of contaminated condensate backflow.
