What is a sterile filter?
Sterile filter is a synthetic membrane designed to prevent particles from moving, including bacteria and proteins, from one tank to another. Almost every aspect of medical treatment involves the use of a sterile filter. Some of these filters are designed for use several times after sterilization and others are approved for only one use. Polyethersulphone (PES) and nylon polyesteramide are also commonly used in the production of filter membranes and are often used to filter dry air. If it does not apply specifically for the use of a sterile filter for use with liquids, it is necessary to ensure that any contact with the aqueous substances is prevented. Most of these air filters can be sterilized in the autoclave at least 100 times before replacing the filter. The size of the filter is determined by the amount of air pressure, which is expected to flow through the filter. Individual air pumps are also equipped with a sterile air filter to ensure air supply withoutcontaminating substances. These air filters are often sterilized by gamma radiation and packed individually.
Sterile filters can be placed inside the syringes used for injection or removal of fluid from the body. The syringe filter is commonly used in blood collection and certain tissues to prepare diagnostic culture. This sterile filter can also be used to separate some enzymes and proteins from fluids intake from the patient. The syringe filter is usually packed for one use and should be destroyed with a used syringe in a suitable waste container.
A sterile filter can be used to filter water using (POU) for use by a person with a compromised immune system. Many qualified nursing equipment installed water water filtration systems in individual rooms and in the areas of food preparation. Most pou filters are one -off and designedfor easy removal and replacement.
Water filtration systems are also installed in homes with a reduced immune response. Advanced filtration can contribute to improving health and less infections. After continuing use, it will be necessary to replace the sterile filter in Pou.
