Claims13
A pacifier comprising a reusable suction part and at least one exchangeable housing part which are releasably connectable to each other,
- wherein said suction part comprises a nipple and a shield connected to each other,
- wherein said suction part comprises a passageway through which a fluid can pass from outside the pacifier to inside a mouth of a user of the pacifier such that the pacifier is configured as a breath-through pacifier,
- wherein said suction part comprises at least one first connection device,
- wherein said housing part comprises a housing and at least one second connection device which is releasably connectable to the at least one first connection device,
- wherein said housing comprises at least one heat and moisture exchanger (HME) device and/or at least one filter device comprising a bacterial and/or particulate filter,
- wherein the housing, of said housing part, comprises an interior space which is defined by a lid, surrounding walls connected to the lid and a second connection interface which is provided opposite the lid, wherein said second connection interface is at least partly open into the interior space of the housing and is configured for mating with a first connection interface of the suction part, and
- wherein the lid comprises air openings through which air can pass and wherein the HME device and/or the filter device are provided within the interior space of the housing such that air passing between the air openings in the lid and the second connection interface of the housing also has to pass the HME device and/or the filter device.
