Filtration Performances of Heat and Moisture Exchangers and Filters Against Viral Aerosols: Adaptation of a Wind Tunnel
Accurate testing of filtration function has long gone unexamined, and in preparation for the next respiratory pandemic, better evaluation of devices that filter potentially dangerous pathogens is vital for health care professionals and systems. Standard filtration testing should be adapted to mimic the clinical usage of HMEs and filters.
