New High Volume Hollow Fiber Filter

Medical Filter Supply — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:10:46 +0000

Medical Filter Supply will be hosting a booth at the Arkansas Society of Gastrointestinal Nurses Association meeting October 10, 2009 in Little Rock, AR. We will also have a booth at the Lousianna SGNA meeting October 17, 2009 in Lafayette, LA. Come visit the booth, we would like to meet you and show why we are so excited about our better than OEM, hollow fiber and sediment filters. Compare our filters to the manufacture’s and you will see our bacteria retention filters have nearly twice the hollow fibers as the OEM filters. What does twice the hollow fibers mean to you? It means our filters have more filtering capacity, lower back pressure and higher flow rate. In short, our filters shorten your reprocessing cycle time, allowing more scopes to be washed in a shorter time. The larger filtering capacity also virtually eliminates having to prematurely replace the bacteria retention filter before the mandatory six month interval.

Introducing MFS water purification system

Medical Filter Supply is proud to introduce our MFS water purification system. This is a 2-stage filtering system designed to help protect your endoscopes and your patients. The first stage filter removes all silt and grit that can damage your endoscope. The second stage bacteria retention filter removes bacteria that can cause harm to your patient.

We have observed in some endoscopy centers the practice of hand processing their endoscopes. Some centers protect their scopes and patients by using expensive bottled sterile water. We have observed however, it is the common practice in many centers of using unfiltered city water during the hand washing and rinsing process. Considering all automated endoscope reprocessors use ultra-filtered bacteria free water to wash and rinse the scopes, it would seem only logical the same criteria should be used in the hand washing process. Medical Filter Supply is now offering a water purification system designed specifically for the hand wash process. Using properly filtered grit and bacteria free water can extent the life of your valuable endoscopes and provide a bacteria free endoscope for your patients.

The MFS water purification system is a complete unit, ready for installation. It comes with an easily installed wall mounting bracket, filter canisters, sediment filter, bacteria retention filter, tubing, connectors, and a 2-way diverter valve to be attached to the present faucet outlet. This 2-way valve allows the facuet to supply both filtered and unfiltered water with the simple turn of the control lever. This diverter valve allows continued normal use of the sink when bacteria free water is not required.

Bad Endoscopy filters may have caused multiple cases of HIV. The associated press recently reported that improperly cleaned endoscopes were linked to the spread of HIV in several VA hospitals. Now Congress is now investigating to see how widespread the infections may be.

A congressional panel will question Department of Veterans Affairs officials about mistakes that put patients at risk of possible exposure to HIV and other infectious body fluids at three VA hospitals. read more . . .
