The Nephros SSUmini UltraFilter is intended to be used to filter water or bicarbonate concentrate used in hemodialysis devices. It assists in providing hemodialysis quality water or bicarbonate concentrate. The device is not a complete water treatment system, but serves to remove biological contaminants. Therefore it must beused in conjunction with other water treatment equipment (RO, DI, etc.).
A sterile device designed to remove bacteria and other suspended particles from flowing water by creating a mechanical barrier to elements larger than 0.2 micrometres. It typically consists of a plastic housing with a connector to the water source [e.g., a tap (faucet)] and a 0.2 micrometre filtering membrane [e.g., made of nylon, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), or polyethersulfone (PES)]; a prefiltration of the water to remove larger particles is typically recommended. It is typically used for hygienic and surgical hand washing, wound irrigation, and/or rinsing of medical devices. This is a disposable, non-sterilizable device which may serve multiple patients before being discarded.
