BACTERIAL FILTER

BACTERIAL FILTER

Bacterial filter to protect all SAM electric suction machines. 

The Bacterial air filter is a sealed disposable air filter capsule moulded in high impact polystyrene and encapsulates a bonded micro glass fibre disc.

The 0.3 micron particle retention of the filter medium gives not less than 99.985% D.O.P. and provides an effective barrier against aerosol contamination.

The bacterial have bacterial retention of 99.9999% ensuring safety and hygiene for both patient and operator. 

The filter can be used to provide protection to SAM units and also are suitable for use in-line on other systems.

The SAM 12, 14, 15, 18, 35, and 36 are all fitted with an internal hydrophobic filter on the pump line which prevents costly pump damage or contamination in the unlikely event of liquids passing through the collection vessel. The Thoracic SAM 17T and 17W are fitted with an internal hydrophobic filter on the gauge line to prevent ingress of foreign material into the gauge.
