EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Excessive condensation in the circle system

Hi Geoff
We have the penlon SP Prema. Yes we are talking about long surgical casees.
Intersurgical circuit and HME Filter at the patient end. The circle system has a water trap but it have little water in it, in these long cases. The water is building up and pooling in the anaesthetic circuit limbs. Would I be right in thinking the HME filter is exacerbating the problem and we would be better off using just a bacterial filter
Thanks
