Routine use of this device will protect the interior of the breathing system from patient-derived contamination, allowing extended use of the machine side of the breathing system when used with a Pall Ultipor™ Anesthesia Breathing Circuit System.*

• Extends circuit life – enables multiple patient reuse of the machine side of the Pall Ultipor Anesthesia Breathing Circuit System and the CO2 monitoring line for up to 24 hours.
• Reduces costs – lowers patient treatment costs by permitting use of Pall circuits on multiple patients.
• Effective barrier – bidirectional, hydrophobic media provides protection against airborne and liquidborne bacteria, viruses, and particulate matter to 99.999% efficiency.
• Low resistance – unique pleated hydrophobic membrane assures low air flow resistance in dry and wet conditions.
• Easy port seal – tethered monitoring port cap prevents detachment from the filter and easily seals the port when not in use.
