  • Publication number: 20210093848
    Abstract: A humidifier adaptor for evacuating fluid and/or debris from a ventilator system includes a housing having a base, a top, and at least one sidewall, which together define a chamber and an inlet in the base of the housing extending into the chamber. The inlet includes a first end configured to receive air from a humidifier, a second end in the chamber, and a sidewall. The second end of the inlet can be positioned to at least partially inhibit the fluid and/or debris from entering an interior portion of the inlet. The humidifier adaptor also includes a tangential outlet in the at least one sidewall of the housing through which the air flows substantially tangentially out of the chamber. The humidifier adaptor also includes a drain outlet in the base of the housing for removing fluid and/or debris from the ventilator system by evacuation through the chamber.
