Evaqua 2 Features Evaqua 2. It’s a world first in breathing circuit technology that allows water vapor to diffuse through the tubing wall. Evaqua membrane technology clears humidity from the expiratory limb – minimizing the chance of it forming into liquid water. The Benefits are Clear... • Minimizes Expiratory Limb Mobile Condensate • Promotes a Maintenance-Free, Closed System

through a robust MicroCell wall structure.

Humidity Transfer takes place through Evaqua material.

is enhanced through a heater wire and spine construction.

Minimizes Expiratory Limb Mobile Condensate Evaqua 2 reduces issues caused by expiratory condensate.

Promotes a Maintenance-Free, Closed System Evaqua 2 reduces the need for clinician intervention to break open the expiratory limb to remove condensate. • Reduces the risk of pathogen transfer to the patient or clinician • entilation can remain uninterrupted, maintaining V PEEP and promoting lung recruitment • Saves clinician time

Evaqua 2 Comparison Evaqua  allows the humidity in the expiratory 2 limb to freely diffuse through the wall of the breathing circuit before it has an opportunity to condense and form into liquid water. EVAQUA 2 With conventional circuits, condensate can form inside the expiratory limb or ventilator when humidity in the expiratory gas flow touches cooler surfaces along the gas path. conventional breathing circuits Water Vapor (Humidity) Water Vapor (Humidity) Colder Surface

How MicroCell Technology Works Humidity passes through the wall of the expiratory limb via Evaqua material that is permeable to water vapor. Due to the special nature of this material, water vapor can pass through the wall of the circuit while retaining a gas seal. Pathogens are also blocked as Evaqua is only permeable to water vapor. magnified view of evaqua 2 membrane Water vapor (humidity) Outside Circuit permeable Evaqua Protection through a robust MicroCell wall structure inside Circuit Water vapor (humidity)
