Inline IV filter for connection to an IV set for

  • retention of particles, bacteria, fungi and endotoxins.
  • elimination of air

Advantages

By using B. Braun IV filters the overall complication rate could be reduced by 10%. Using IV filters also make financial sense: the length of ICU stay can be decreased by almost one day / patient which represents a 23% drop – a substantial economic advantage because additional patients a year can be admitted. In a study, this led in turn to an increase in revenue because no patients had to be turned away due to lack of capacity.1,2

 

Supor®membrane 0.2 µm, effective filtration area 10 cm2made out of Polyethersulfone (PES)

  • helps to prevent particulate contamination by retaining particles > 0.2 µm.3
  • reduces microbiological contamination by retaining bacteria and fungi.4, 5
  • reduces the risk of medication error. Solid particles > 0.2 µm occurring from incompatibility reactions are retained by the IV filter membrane.3 Blockage of filter membrane can be an alarming signal for an incompatibility reaction which could have severe clinical consequences for the patient when being infused.
  • positively charged to retain endotoxins.3

Venting function - two 0.02 μm hydrophobic PTFE-membranes to

  • reduce the risk of air embolism regardless position of filter. The hydrophobic characteristic of the membrane blocks the passage of air and successfully vents the excess air out of the system.3
