Supor AEF 0.2 m Intravenous Filter

Air-eliminating filter set designed for 24-hour infusion drug delivery

Features 0.2 m Supor (polyethersulfone) membrane. Low protein binding. Compatible with all standard clinical infusion regimens, including those utilizing infusion and syringe pumps. Sterile and non-pyrogenic fluid pathway. Free of natural rubber latex. Non-phthalate fluid pathway. Benefits Reduces inadvertent particulate debris and eliminates entrained air that may be found in intravenous solutions for a maximum of 24 hours. Minimal adsorption to the membrane. Will not introduce undesirable extractables into the infusion preparation. Use with continuous infusions as well as with intermittent infusions or injections.

Biological Safety Has been evaluated in accordance with USP Class VI-121C plastic tests and/or relevant sections of the ISO 10993 series of standards to ensure biological safety of the materials.

Inadvertent contamination of intravenous infusions can have serious consequences:

Particulate Contamination Arises from a variety of sources, intrinsically in infusate and equipment, and extrinsically due to manipulations. Studies have demonstrated that particles may cause phlebitis.1 Entrained Air Results from degassing of solutions, incomplete priming, or with disconnection. Entrained air is especially problematic on central line, leading to air emboli.2 Microbial Contamination of IV administration systems arises inadvertently due to manipulations.3 Some bacteria can grow rapidly in infusion fluids, increasing the infection risk.4,5
