The gas sampling line should be connected to the HMEF on the machine side of the filter to ensure
sampled gas is not contaminated as it enters the water trap.
Make sure to use an expiratory bacterial/viral filter, to minimize cross-contamination. Make sure to
follow the filter manufacturer’s recommendations for exchange interval of the filters.
