The Passy Muir Tracheostomy Viral & Bacterial Airway Protection Filter (PM-APF15) is a non-sterile, lightweight, single-patient use device for non-mechanically ventilated tracheostomy patients to filter viral, bacterial, and other particulate matter. The filter is intended to fit onto the 15mm hub of a tracheostomy tube, and is easy to apply and remove with a gentle twist motion.
The PM-APF15 provides bacterial and viral filtration efficiency of 99.9%, effectively filtering out 99% of all airborne particulates.
The device may be used by non-mechanically ventilated tracheostomy pediatric and adult patients. The device should NOT be used by infants, neonates, and patients who require humidification, or patients who are on any form of mechanical ventilation.
