Breathing Circuit Filter Captures Pathogens

(EFP, Las Vegas, NE, USA). This technology utilizes a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic filter media. The filter has numerous applications in hospital emergency departments in ventilators, respirators, and anesthesia circuits. The device has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

EFP says the filter medica create efficiencies of greater than 99.99% at a particle size of 0.027 microns, according to independent laboratory tests. This technology is in use in a variety of medical devices currently on the market, including the Vapor Isolation Valve and RespAide, a cardiopulmonary resuscitation mask used for resuscitation of respiratory/cardiac arrest patients.
