Allied Healthcare Disposable Hydrophobic/Bacteria Filter (3/Pkg)

This filter is designed for single-use only to maximize hygiene and minimize the risk of cross-contamination. It must be replaced after every use.

Replacing the filter after each use ensures:

• The high filtration efficiency (99.97% DOP retention) is maintained.
• The hydrophobic barrier remains effective in protecting the suction pump and personnel from aqueous fluids and bacteria.

The disposable filter is offered in two configurations to ensure compatibility with virtually any portable suction system:

• 1/4” hose barb x 1/4” hose barb: This configuration uses two standard 1/4” hose barb connectors. It is commonly used with devices like the OptiVac Portable Aspirator and LSP Advantage Emergency Portable Suction Unit (SKU: AHC-01-90-3928).
• 1/8” NPT x 1/4” hose barb: This configuration combines a threaded 1/8” NPT connection with a standard 1/4” hose barb connector, suitable for a wide array of General Use Aspirators and AC Tabletop Aspirators.

The Allied Healthcare filter provides critical protection for the suction pump and personnel by acting as an in-line barrier between the suction collection canister and the pump housing. Its specialized design offers multiple layers of defense:

• Prevents Overflow Damage: The filter utilizes a hydrophobic design that blocks aqueous fluids and aerosols. This prevents fluids from canister overflow from reaching and damaging the sensitive suction pump housing.
• High-Efficiency Filtration: It ensures reliable safety and infection control by delivering 99.97% DOP retention filter efficiency. It efficiently captures particles as small as 0.3 microns.
• Minimizes Cross-Contamination: The unit is designed for single-use only, which helps maintain sanitary standards and significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination between uses or patients.

Yes, this disposable hydrophobic/bacteria filter is essential for maintaining strict infection control and protecting both personnel and suction equipment.

Key features ensuring high standards of hygiene and safety include:

• Superior Filtration: The filter achieves a 99.97% DOP retention filter efficiency and is rated to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns.
• Hydrophobic Protection: It acts as an effective barrier by blocking aqueous fluids and aerosols, preventing contamination of the pump housing inlet due to canister overflow.
• Reduced Cross-Contamination: The product is designed for single-use only, which significantly minimizes the risk of cross-contamination between patients or uses.

This disposable filter is designed for in-line installation within your suction circuit. It acts as a critical barrier to protect the pump and prevent contamination:

• Placement: It must be installed between the suction collection canister and the inlet to the pump housing/suction unit.
• Protection: The filter’s hydrophobic nature effectively blocks aqueous fluids and aerosols, safeguarding the pump motor from damage caused by canister overflow.
• Performance: It ensures a high level of infection control with a 99.97% DOP retention efficiency (rated for 0.3 micron particles).

The Allied Healthcare Disposable Hydrophobic/Bacteria Filter provides high-level protection for both personnel and your suction equipment. Key performance details include:

• High-Efficiency Filtration: It features a 99.97% DOP retention rating.
• Precise Particle Capture: It effectively filters particulates as small as 0.3 microns.
• Hydrophobic Protection: The filter is designed to block aqueous fluids and aerosols, preventing potential pump contamination during canister overflow.

Because these are single-use, disposable filters, they also help maintain strict safety protocols by minimizing the risk of cross-contamination between patients.

Yes, the Allied Healthcare Disposable Hydrophobic/Bacteria Filter offers broad compatibility with virtually any portable suction system. It is commonly used with aspirators and various suction units.

Yes, this filter is highly effective and designed for precision filtration, ensuring comprehensive protection against contaminants.

• Particle Filtration Size: It is capable of filtering particles as small as 0.3 micron.
• Filtration Efficiency: The filter boasts an outstanding efficiency rate with 99.97% DOP retention, offering robust protection against bacterial ingress.

This high standard of filtration, combined with its hydrophobic barrier functionality, ensures that it effectively blocks aqueous fluids and aerosols, preventing contamination from canister overflow from reaching and damaging sensitive suction pump components.

The filter body is designed to be compact for easy installation in-line with portable suction systems. Here are the key dimensions:

• Filter Body Dimensions: 2.25 inches x 1.75 inches (5.7 cm x 4.4 cm)
• Effective Filter Area: 7.3 cm²

Yes, the filter is designed for both security and ease of use: <ul><li>Ergonomic Grip: The exterior features a ribbed design, which provides structural rigidity and ensures you have a secure, slip-resistant grip during installation.</li><li>Visual Monitoring: The translucent, clear plastic housing allows you to quickly inspect the status of the filter, making it easy to identify when a replacement is needed.</li><li>No Assembly Required: Installation is straightforward, as these units are designed for simple in-line connection between your suction collection canister and the pump housing.</li></ul>
