Indications for Use
The Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric HMEF Sterile is for use at the patient connections. The device is to be attached between the breathing circuit and patient connection. It is designed to reduce bacterial/viral transmission between the patient and equipment and to reduce the loss of patient heat and humidity. The filter is for single patient use only and therefore must be disposed of after a single patient usage and/or after its maximum duration of use at 24 hours. The device is a single use device that is required to be changed daily when used with devices (i.e. long-term ventilators) that are design to have patient body contact between 24 hours to < 30 days. The recommended pediatric weight range is 11 kg to 35 kg. The recommended tidal volume is 75 to 250 ml.
Device Story
Sterile heat and moisture exchanger with integrated electrostatic filter (HMEF) for pediatric patients (11-35 kg) undergoing mechanical ventilation or anesthesia. Device connects between breathing circuit and patient airway. Operation: HME paper traps heat/moisture from exhaled air for return during inspiration; electrostatic filter pad prevents cross-contamination. Includes luer lock port for CO2 monitoring. Used in hospital settings. Output: heated, humidified air; CO2 sampling capability. Benefits: maintains airway humidity/temperature; reduces infection risk. Single-use, 24-hour maximum duration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance metrics evaluated include moisture return (mg/L), resistance to flow (mbar), weight (g), filtration efficiency (BFE/VFE %), and mechanical integrity of tapers/connectors. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation).
Technological Characteristics
Housing: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Filter: Polypropylene-based fiber blend. HME: Cellulose-based paper. Port cap: Thermoplastic Elastomer. Connectors: 22F/15M (machine) and 22M/15F (patient) or angled 15M. Standards: ISO 9360-1:1992 (HME), ISO 5356-1:2004 (conical connectors), ISO 594-2:1998 (luer tapers). Sterile, single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric patients (11-35 kg) requiring mechanical ventilation or anesthesia. Used to provide passive humidification and reduce bacterial/viral transmission between patient and breathing circuit. For single patient use, max 24 hours.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A breathing circuit bacterial filter is a device that is intended to remove microbiological and particulate matter from the gases in the breathing circuit.

### Subject Device Trade Name:
Product # 1331030S - Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric HMEF sterile Product # 1332030S - Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric angled HMEF sterile
### Predicate Device:
The Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric HMEF sterile (Product # 1331030S) and the Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric angled HMEF sterile (Product #1332030S) are substantially equivalent to the Covidien 355U5430 DAR Infant - Pediatric Electrostatic Filter HME (Small - K941381- Hygroboy).
The 355U5430 DAR HMEF is a heat and moisture exchanger that allows for heated humidified air to be supplied to the patient when ventilated or under anaesthesia. The electrostatic filter prevents cross contamination between the patient and the breathing system. The HMEF is provided clean and is used in breathing systems in anesthesia and intensive care. The filter has an end tidal CO2 sampling port for CO2 monitoring. This port has a cap to block the port when it is not in use.
#### Description of Device:
### Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric HMEF sterile ( Product # 1331030S)
The Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric is a sterile HMEF used for passive humidification in pediatric patients under mechanical ventilation or anesthesia. The HMEF contains a HME paper and electrostatic filter pad incased in a plastic housing. The HME paper traps heat and moisture from the patient's exhaled air which is then returned in the inspiratory air to the patient. Therefore the patient receives heated, humidified air. The electrostatic filter pad prevents bacterial and viral cross-contamination between the breathing system and the patient.
{4}------------------------------------------------
# Section 5 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The HMEF has an additional luer lock port for CO2 monitoring with a retainable luer port cap to block the port when it is not in use. The HMEF has a 22F/15M connector at the machine end and a 22M/15F connector at the patient end.
## Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric angled HMEF sterile (Product # 1332030S)
The Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric angled HMEF is a sterile HMEF used for passive humidification in pediatric patients under mechanical ventilation or anesthesia. The HMEF contains a HME paper and electrostatic filter pad incased in a plastic housing. The HME paper traps heat and moisture from the patient's exhaled air which is then returned in the inspiratory air to the patient. Therefore the patient receives heated humidified air. The electrostatic filter pad prevents bacterial and viral cross-contamination between the breathing system and the patient. The HMEF has an additional luer lock port for CO2 monitoring with a retainable luer port cap to block the port when it is not in use. The HMEF has an angled 15M machine connecter end, eliminating the need to use an elbow in the breathing circuit. The patient end is a straight 22M/15F connector.
### Indications for Use:
The Inter-Therm Mini Pediatric HMEF Sterile is for use at the patient connections. The device is to be attached between the breathing circuit and patient connection. It is designed to reduce bacterial/viral transmission between the patient and equipment and to reduce the loss of patient heat and humidity. The filter is for single patient use only and therefore must be disposed of after a single patient usage and/or after its maximum duration of use at 24 hours. The device is a single use device that is required to be changed daily when used with devices (i.e. long-term ventilators) that are design to have patient body contact between 24 hours to < 30 days. The recommended pediatric weight range is 11 kg to 35 kg. The recommended tidal volume is 75 to 250 ml.
## Technology Characteristics Summary
The intended use of the Intersurgical Inter-Therm Mini Breathing Filter and Heat and Moisture Exchanger is comparable to the referenced predicate device. The comparison of the data shows similar values for the key performance characteristics. Proposed devices show similar values for moisture return, resistance to flow, weight, tapers and filtration efficiency when compared to the legally marketed devices.
Non-clinical test results are submitted to confirm product safety and substantial equivalence to predicate device.
