SafeStar^® Plus Mechanical Filters

Preventing patients from acquiring a healthcare associated infection (HCAI), especially when they are most vulnerable, is a major undertaking in your daily work. It is also an issue that carries an immense financial burden for your institution. Our new SafeStar Plus mechanical breathing system filters meet high standards for infection prophylaxis in ventilation. This significantly helps to decrease the risk of possible cross-infection. We aim to support you to achieve the goals of preventing HCAI and managing cost of care—at the same time.

SafeStar^® Plus Family Filters

Our new SafeStar Plus mechanical HEPA breathing system filters meet high standards for infection prophylaxis in ventilation. The active medium here is a hydrophobic filter membrane of coated glass fibres developed specifically for this purpose. Due to its hydrophobicity, potentially contaminated fluids (e.g. blood, sputum and condensate) cannot pass through SafeStar Plus filters under the normal pressure conditions of mechanical ventilation. As a result, SafeStar Plus can inhibit the passage of fluid-borne microorganisms. Furthermore, SafeStar Plus’ mechanical medium has high bacterial and viral filtration efficiency rates that considerably reduce the passage of airborne microorganisms.
