Abstract
A water filter system for a COsampling line positioned between a patient and a patient monitor to receive patient exhalation. The filter system includes at least one hydrophobic filter that adsorbs and prevents water from reaching the patient monitor. Alternatively, the filter system may include both a hydrophobic filter and a hydrophilic filter and optionally a desiccant.
