Bacterial Retention

Retentive of B. diminuta and meets USP 25/NF20

requirements for a sterilizing grade filter per ASTM F838-05

test methods.

Biological Safety Has been evaluated in accordance with USP Class VI-121ºC

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
