Frequently asked questions
Which Medela suction pumps are compatible?
The Medela Virus Filter with Overflow Protection is designed for use as a crucial second-stage overflow defense in various Medela suction systems.
It is fully compatible with the following pump models:
- Basic Aspirator
- Dominant Flex Aspirator
- Vario 18 Suction Pump
This single-use filter provides superior viral protection, boasting a filtering capacity of 99.99984% for particles larger than 0.03 µm. It must be used in conjunction with disposable liners and reusable collection jars.
How many filters are included in one case?
Each case contains 10 Medela Virus Filters with Overflow Protection.
Does this filter provide high-efficiency viral filtration?
Yes, the Medela Virus Filter provides extremely high-efficiency viral protection through its dedicated, high-performance medical membrane. It offers several key benefits:
- Exceptional Filtration Capacity: It guarantees a filtering capacity of 99.99984% for particles larger than 0.03 µm, effectively protecting the suction pump and the environment from contamination.
- Dual Protection: This filter provides both second-stage overflow protection to prevent fluid from entering the pump and acts as a high-efficiency barrier against viruses.
- Low Air Resistance: The large surface area of the filtering pad minimizes airflow restriction, helping to maintain efficient suction performance.
When should this single-use filter be replaced?
The Medela Virus Filter is a single-use medical accessory. To ensure hygiene and consistent performance, it should be replaced immediately if:
- Overflow occurs: Fluid backs up into the filter housing.
- Severe discoloration of the filtering pad is observed.
- There is a noticeable loss of suction.
While designed to remain functional for the duration of a procedure, it must be replaced if any of these conditions are met.
Does it offer configurable connection types?
Yes, the Medela Virus Filter with Overflow Protection is available with different configuration options to suit your needs:
- Medela Connections
- Conical Connections
Does this filter protect the pump from fluid overflow?
Yes. This filter serves as a vital second-stage overflow protection mechanism. It is specifically engineered to act as a barrier, preventing damaging fluids from entering the pump housing in the event of a canister overfill during aspiration procedures.
Will using this filter reduce my suction pump performance?
No, the filter is engineered to maintain system integrity. It features a large surface area specifically designed to ensure low air resistance, which keeps your suction pump performance consistent throughout the procedure.
Is the filter easy to integrate with my existing setup?
Absolutely. It is designed for seamless integration with:
- Medela Basic Aspirator
- Dominant Flex Aspirator
- Vario 18 Suction Pump
It works reliably with both your disposable liners and reusable collection jars to maintain rigorous infection control standards.
How does this filter ensure optimal pump protection?
The Medela Virus Filter ensures optimal protection for your suction system through a crucial dual-action mechanism:
- High-Efficacy Virus Filtration: It uses a dedicated, high-performance medical membrane that offers exceptional filtration efficiency, blocking 99.99984% of particles larger than 0.03 µm. This is vital for preventing viruses and pathogens from entering the pump mechanism and the surrounding environment.
- Second-Stage Overflow Protection: The filter provides essential secondary defense, acting as the second stage of overflow protection. This prevents aspirated fluids from backing up into the pump components, effectively safeguarding the equipment from internal damage.
Designed for strict hygiene, the filter is single-use to prevent cross-contamination. It also features a large surface area for low air resistance, helping to maintain consistent and efficient suction performance.
Is the filter designed for low air resistance?
Yes, the Medela Virus Filter is specifically designed for low air resistance.
This is achieved by engineering the filter with a large surface area medical membrane. This design minimizes drag on the suction performance, ensuring the efficient operation of the suction pump system.
