Description

The Hydrophobic Filter for CeeVac is an essential component designed specifically for use with CeeVac suction pump systems in medical environments. This single-use, disposable filter plays a critical role in ensuring hygiene and safety during medical suction applications by providing superior hydrophobic and bacterial filtration.

Key Features

• Protection Against Contamination: The filter acts as a barrier, preventing fluids, particulates, moisture, and bacteria from contaminating the pump mechanism. It effectively stops suction when wet, safeguarding the vacuum source from potential overflow and contamination.
• Installation and Use: Designed for inline use between the collection jar and the pump, the filter features directional markings such as 'IN' or arrows to ensure correct installation. It is crucial for both reusable and some disposable collection jars, where it serves as an integral safety component.
• Troubleshooting Aid: In instances where the pump is running without generating a vacuum, the filter's presence is a key consideration in troubleshooting.

Filtration Performance

• Efficiency: With a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) ranging from 99.999% to 99.9999% and a Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) at 0.027 micron, the filter uses hydrophobic PTFE media to deliver exceptional performance.
• Construction: The housing is made from polypropylene (PP), featuring a filtration area of 15.2 cm². It includes 0.2 μm ports with 5.5-9.5mm stepped hose barbs, compatible with 4mm-8mm connections in some models.

Physical Specifications

• Dimensions: Height 52.5mm, Width 50mm, and Weight 10g.
• Operating Conditions: Maximum operating pressure of 20 psi and a maximum temperature of 60ºC.

Sterilization and Compliance

• Sterilization: The filter is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (E.O.) and meets biocompatibility standards in accordance with EN 60601-1.
• Certifications: It is CE certified and complies with ISO13485 standards.

Maintenance and Disposal

• Replacement Guidelines: Users should check the filter for correct fitting before each use and replace it monthly, or sooner if it becomes damp or discoloured. For infectious patient use, replacement after each use is recommended.
• Disposal: Post-use, the filter may contain biohazardous waste and should be disposed of following local biohazard protocols.

Packaging and Customization

• Packaging Options: Available in packs of 10, with both bulk and single pack options. OEM and customization services are offered with no minimum order quantity.
