Peruvian hospital care report
Good afternoon! I'm working on a Peruvian "reporte de atención hospitalaria". One of the items in the list of pharmacy supplies reads "FILTRO ANTIBACT HMEF C/H" 352/5855. I've looked up the term "HMEF antibacterial filter", but I don't see any information about what the "C/H" stands for.
Here are some of the items above and below the item:
BD CATETER INTRAV 20 SOP
ELECTRODO ADULTO REF 2228 3M
EQUIPO VENOCLISIS - NIPRO
EXTEN VALVULADA 50CM DISCOFIX
FILTRO ANTIBACT HMEF "C/H" 352-5855
MASCARA P/OXIGEN C/R ADULTO
TEGADERM 6 X 7CM (1624)
As always, a thousand thanks!

heat and moisture, heat and moisture exchange, HME
When looking up your term, I found that HMEF stood for "heat and moisture exchange filter", also abbreviated as HME filter.
In a users manual for a Phillips ventilator, I found the phrase:
"No utilice filtros ni intercambiadores de calor y humedad (HME) entre el nebulizador y las vías respiratorias del paciente."
and the definition:
HME: Intercambiador de calor y humedad
I suggest that C/H is an abbreviation for "calor y humedad".

Spanish term (edited):
FILTRO ANTIBACT HMEF C/H
bacterial/HME filter
Como anotado por Barbara, C/H haría referencia aquí a calor/humedad. Pero a la hora de traducir, resulta necesario incluir HMEF, lo que resultaría redundante de pretender traducir C/H literalmente como heat and moisture (HMEF: heat and moisture exchanger filter).
Así, para enfrentarse a la traducción del concepto original completo, cabe hacer algunas consideraciones.
La primera, que los HMEFs (filtros intercambiadores de calor y humedad) son en realidad un tipo de HMEs (intercambiadores de calor y humedad).
HMEs vs. HMEFs
https://es.intersurgical.com/productos/gestion-de-vias-aerea...
Explicación:
Passive humidifiers are disposable heat and moisture exchangers (HME), some with a particle filter. (...) HMEF, Heat-and-Moisture Exchanger Filter.

Ejemplo específico de un HMEF (filtro intercambiador de calor y humedad -para bacterias y virus):
https://ddmmedical.com/producto/filtro-intercambiador-de-cal...
En tu caso concreto ("FILTRO ANTIBACT HMEF C/H") parece hacerse referencia a un intercambiador de calor-humedad con filtro antibacteriano. Como traducción bastaría indicar [bacterial] HMEF (heat-and-moisture exchanger filter) para expresar la misma idea: "bacterial heat and moisture exchanger filter" / bacterial/HME filter.
Ver por ejemplo:
• Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME)
• those in current use are generally combined with a microbiological filter, hence they are called HME filters (HMEF)

C/H (Conventional Humidification)
As the colleagues said, HMEF = heat and moisture exchange filter
The whole sentence would read "Antibacterial HMEF with C/H"

Could the "/" be a mistake for "A"?
