Hydrophobic filter Microvex™

venousPVDF

Reduce Contamination, Eliminate Air The usage of in-line filters has been proven to significantly reduce particulate contamination and eliminate air during infusion. Filters can be a cost-effective tool in modern IV therapy and several studies have shown they can be very effective in critically ill patients.1 To improve patient outcomes, in-line filters help eliminate bacterial and endotoxic exposure and remove foreign material. NP Medical developed the Microvex filter as a sterilizing-grade, 0.2µm filter for small volume IV applications with low priming and hold-up volume. Developed and built with the same high-quality standards as our leading valve solutions, the Microvex filter is easy to attach and ideal for alternative site infusion, low-volume chemotherapeutics, or antibiotic infusion. -High throughput 0.2μm sterilizing grade polyethersulfone (PES) membrane -Multiple microbore tubing configurations -Pressure rated to 45 psi (3.1 bar) -Flexible use with gravity or pump feeds -Single product for multiple alternative site applications TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 2 Priming Volume: ≤0.40 ml Flow Rate at 1m Head Height: 3 ml/min Pressure Rated: 45 psi MATERIALS USED Acrylic Housing 0.2 µm Polyether Sulphone (PES) Filter Membrane 0.1 µm Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Vent Membrane MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY Gamma and EtO Sterilization
