Description
The Sunset Inline HME with Gas Sampling Port is a small-volume inline heat and moisture exchanger that returns the patient's own warmth and moisture to the next breath, with a gas sampling port built in. It is sized for tidal volumes of 70 to 600 mL, delivers 34.5 mg H2O/L at a 250 mL tidal volume, and adds only 21 mL of dead space.
- Gas Sampling Port – The built-in port lets clinicians sample gas at the HME instead of adding a separate sampling adapter.
- Small-Volume Range – A 70 to 600 mL tidal volume range covers smaller patients and lower-volume ventilation.
- Low Dead Space – Dead space is 21 mL and the unit weighs 10 g, which keeps the circuit light at the patient connection.
Passive Humidification Sized for Smaller Volumes
Heat and moisture exchangers humidify passively, capturing heat and moisture from each exhaled breath and returning them on the next inhalation, with no water reservoir or power to manage. This inline unit is the small-volume member of Sunset's HME line, rated for tidal volumes from 70 to 600 mL, so it serves patients whose volumes are too low for a full-size HME. Moisture output measures 34.5 mg H2O/L at a 250 mL tidal volume and 32.5 mg H2O/L at 500 mL, the published performance a respiratory team needs to chart against a care plan. Resistance stays low at 0.8 cmH2O at 30 LPM and 2.1 cmH2O at 60 LPM, and the 22M/15F-15M connection is the standard circuit geometry. The gas sampling port sets this model apart, because gas can be sampled at the exchanger without breaking the circuit to add an adapter.

Why Small-Volume Ventilation Uses This HME
An oversized HME adds dead space a small-volume patient cannot spare, so the exchanger has to be sized to the volumes actually delivered. This one is built for the 70 to 600 mL range and still carries a sampling port.
- Sized Down on Purpose – The 70 to 600 mL range matches smaller ventilation volumes – dead space stays proportionate – humidification fits the patient.
- Sampling Without an Adapter – The gas sampling port is built in – one less adapter in the circuit – one less connection to leak.
- Published Performance – Moisture output and resistance are published at stated flows – the care team can chart real numbers – no guesswork at setup.
