Hi folks
Our Neonatal Unit has a long standing problem with rain out in both Ventilator and NIV breathing circuits.
Devices affected include:
SLE 5000 with Intersurgical Circuits
Viasys SiPAP with F&P RT124 Circuits
F&P Chambers (autofeed for Vents, manual feed for SiPAP)
I would be interested if or how other Units tackle this issue.
it has been suggested we switch our MR850 Humidifiers into Manual HC mode but this needs further investigation. I believe there are some sort of circuit sleeves on the market available to fit around circuits and we are aware of F&P's Evaqua 2. Budget is obviously one of the biggest issues in addressing this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
