Germlyser® IL 1500
The Germlyser® IL1500 inline, hollow-fibre filter, which is specially used in cold water inlet lines of medical equipment. This reusable water filter is an inline, sterile filter with a 0.2 μm hollow-fibre membrane which displays retention of at least 7 log units1, thereby offering reliable protection of patients from infections by all critical water-borne germs such as legionella, pseudomonas, staphylococci or stenotrophomonas over a service life of up to 24 weeks and depending on the respective application and water quality. The chemical composition of the water is not altered.
The hygienic design and the use of bacteriostatic material in the housing prevents retrograde contamination incurred by splash water or physical contact. On expiry of the service life, the respective filter must be changed and disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner via material recycling. This filter change is easy to complete thanks to installation of the appropriate push-in adapter.
An individual product marking on the product packaging guarantees traceability and facilitates the documentation process within the framework of hospital hygiene procedures.
