Description: The Sunset RES027 series is a
single-use Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) designed to protect
tracheostomized patients from heat and humidity loss when breathing
through artificial airways. The HME features a translucent molded
plastic housing that contains a hygroscopic material. This material
traps the heat and moisture from the expired air and returns it to
the inspired air.
Indications
This HME is indicated for single use on tracheostomized
patients. The tidal volume (Vt) should be determined by physician
judgment. The Sunset RES027 series must be fitted directly onto the
tracheostomy tube connector.
Contraindications
The use of the Sunset RES027 series HME is contraindicated in
patients who do not have a tracheostomy tube or in cases where
physician judgment determines it is not suitable.
Product Usage Instructions
- Carefully remove the HME from its protective package.
- Firmly connect the device to the tracheostomy tube
connector. - Periodically inspect for any increase in resistance to flow and
replace the device if necessary. - The maximum usage time for the HME is 24 hours. Do not
reuse. - Discard the device after use. Dispose of it according to the
regulations in force. - Note: The device is latex-free and non-conductive.

Description
The Sunset RES027 series are a single use device (HME) protecting tracheostomized patients from heat and humidity loss resulting from breathing through artificial airways which bypass the mouth, nose and pharynx. The translucent molded plastic housing contains a hygroscopic material that traps the heat and moisture from the expired air and return it to the inspired air.
Indications
This HME is indicated for single use on tracheostomized patients. For tidal volumes (Vt) physician judgment prevails. The Sunset RES027 series must be fitted directly onto the tracheostomy tube connector.
Contraindications
· Do NOT use this device in conjunction with heated humidifier or nebulizer. · Do NOT use the device in a position different from the intended one and do NOT connect to breathing circuits.

RES027 Series HME
Directions For Use
1. Carefully remove the HME from its protective package. 2. Firmly connect the device to the tracheostomy tube connector. Periodically inspect for any increase in the resistance to flow and replace the device, if necessary. Maximum HME is 24 hours. Do not reuse. Discard after use. The device must be disposed of according to the regulations in force. NOTE: the device is latex-free and non conductive.
Warnings
· Use only under medical supervision. · Excessive secretions/bleeding can block the HME, making breathing difficult. In this case, replace the device
immediately. · Ensure the patency of the device. · To reduce the risk of damage and obstruction by small objects, keep wrapped until required for actual use.
Precautions
· Do not refurbish, do not reuse, soak, rinse, wash, sterilize or treat with any disinfectant (in particular phenolic and alcoholic-based solutions are to be avoided).
· Use only with devices having ISO standard connectors. · Replace the Sunset RES027 Series HME at least once per day to reduce the risk of obstruction and the
development of bacteria or fungal colonization within the device.
Potential Adverse Reactions
The following adverse reactions can result from the use of HME. The order of listing is alphabetical and does not reflect anticipated frequency or severity: consequences of mucus plugging and/or complications due to device including difficult breathing, dyspnea, hypercapnia and hypoxia.
