Supor® AEF 0.2 µm Intravenous Filter
Air-eliminating filter set designed for 24-hour infusion
drug delivery
Features
0.2 µm 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.
Description
Usage
Single patient use
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
24-hour maximum use
Can be used with continuous infusions or intermittent
infusions/ injections
Materials of Construction
Filter Media: 0.2 µm Supor (polyethersulfone) membrane
Filter Housing: Acrylic
• 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
Air Elimination
Two 0.02 µm hydrophobic membranes
Sterilization
Sterile and non-pyrogenic fluid pathway. Gamma sterilized.
• 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
