Highlights
The Dräger Aquapor H300 respiratory humidifier ensures that patients who require mechanical breathing support are supplied with optimally conditioned breathing gas.
Easy adjustment of the humidifier output
During mechanical ventilation, the natural warming, humidifying and secretion transport functions of the upper respiratory tract are compromised. In patients who require mechanical ventilation for longer periods, it is vital that measures are taken … More information
to mitigate these effects and reduce the likelihood of serious ventilator-associated lung infections (VALI).1 The Aquapor H300 provides optimally conditioned breathing gas, compensating for the heat and water loss caused by artificial ventilation with cold, dry medical gases.2,3 Three simple presets allow the user to adjust the humidification level according to the individual needs of the patient.A wide range of applications NIV, IV and Free Modes
A variety of therapy forms, including non-invasive O2 therapy (e.g. High-Flow), CPAP and mask ventilation, but also invasive ventilation via endotracheal tube are supported by the addition of active humidification.2,3,4,5

Advanced technology that is easy to use
The components and accessories of the Aquapor H300 are designed to support high-quality therapeutic. The heated hose is equipped with an embedded wire hose heating technology that helps avoid the collection of condensate. For easier assembly, the com … More information
ponents of the hose system that carry breathing gas are colour-coded.Positive influence on secretion viscosity
Without respiratory gas conditioning, there is a significant reduction in cilia work and, as a result, the self-cleaning function of the bronchi (mucociliary clearance) is compromised. This impairment of mucociliary clearance leads to an increase in … More information
secretion viscosity and secretion retention.6 Active humidification can support the process of mucociliary clearance so that secretions can be removed. This reduces the formation of atelectases and the risk of infection for the patient.7Adjustable heat output of the expiratory hose
One of the major challenges of active humidification is condensate. The Aquapor H300 offers advanced condensate management for the dual-heating system breathing circuits. To avoid condensate in the expiratory limb of the breathing circuits, the heat … More information
output can be individually increased in five stages. Thus, the formation of condensate in the the expiratory hose can be reduced.Special designed breathing circuit systems
VentStar Aquapor EVO breathing circuit systems were specifically developed for use in temperature‑critical areas. Additional insulation of the inspiratory limb reduces heat loss and, consequently, condensate formation. The semi-permeable membrane of … More information
the expiratory hose also helps to prevent condensate formation, as excess water vapour diffuses through the hose wall.In combination with the convenient temperature control options of the Aquapor H300, it is possible to deliver an appropriate breathing‑gas climate for your patients.Large 3.5" TFT colour display
The display offers excellent readability of parameters and alarms, even from a distance, and also features a dimming function in night mode. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the backlighting depending on ambient light conditions, thus su … More information
