Filters oer protection by removing bacteria and

viruses before they enter a patient’s airway. Without

them, a patient can be at greater risk for developing a

healthcare-associated infection.

Equally important, lters reduce the number of

pathogens a patient exhales into the air. This helps

protect everyone, including sta, visitors, and other

patients — as well as equipment.

Ventilator lters can be either electrostatic or

mechanical:

∙

Electrostatic lters use positive and negative

charges to attract and capture particles.

∙

Mechanical lters feature a multilayered, pleated

medium that provides greater eciency than

electrostatic lters.

The large DAR

™

mechanical lters’ pleated medium

signicantly increases bacterial ltration eciency,

reaching an NaCl eciency of greater than 99.97%.
