Frequently Asked Questions

A medical sterile compressed air filter is designed to ensure that the compressed air used in medical environments is free from contaminants such as live bacteria and other harmful sub-micron particles. It is used for critical air quality, such as dental, medical, and veterinary applications.

To protect equipment from airborne contaminants, sterile compressed air filters are essential in medical settings. Contaminated air can lead to infections, compromise sensitive procedures, or damage medical equipment. The filter ensures the air is free from harmful sub-micron particles and live bacteria.

These filters utilize a multi-stage filtration process to eliminate contaminants. They typically consist of layers designed to capture sub-micron particles and live bacteria.

Medical sterile compressed air filters are used in:

o   Ventilators and other life-support systems

o   Anesthesia machines

o   Surgical equipment

o   Laboratory environments and pharmaceutical manufacturing

o   Dental units

o   Cleanrooms in healthcare facilities

Standard compressed air filters are inadequate for medical applications as they fail to meet strict air purity and sterilization standards. Medical sterile compressed air filters are specially engineered to guarantee safe air quality for healthcare purposes.

  • Assess the Application: Understand where and how the compressed air will be used (e.g., operating rooms, ventilators, laboratories).
  • Identify Filtration Requirements: Determine the level of sterility required and whether moisture removal is necessary.
  • Review Compliance Standards: Ensure the filter meets the necessary regulations.
  • Check Performance Specifications: Evaluate flow rate, pressure drop, and the capacity of the filter to maintain system performance.
  • Consider Maintenance Needs: Factor in ease of maintenance, replacement schedules, and filter longevity.

Our medical sterile filters are designed to remove various contaminants, including live bacteria and sub-micron particles.

The GMS range has a micron rating of 0.01 or >99.9999%, indicating the size of particles the filter can capture. 

Yes, the GMS filter elements are compatible with autoclave sterilization and are guaranteed for a minimum of 100 sterilizations at 248°F.

The maximum design operating pressure is 232 psig. The pressure rating indicates the maximum pressure the filter can withstand without collapsing or damaging. Ensure the filter is rated to handle your compressed air system pressures to maintain efficiency and avoid potential system failure.

Our filters are designed to meet the highest industry standards, including ISO 7396-1, HTM 02-01, AS2896, and NFPA 99, making them the go-to choice for dental, medical, and veterinary applications.

The nano GMS filter housings are made from die-cast aluminum alloy and feature a durable powder-coated exterior and an internal and external E-Coat™ finish for superior corrosion resistance. The filter element is constructed of a borosilicate microfiber with stainless steel endcaps.

Filters require regular maintenance to function correctly—contact nano for the proper maintenance schedule. 

The filter element should be replaced every 6 months or 1000 hours.

The cost varies depending on the size required for your compressed air system.

nano GMS housing: 10 years from the date of shipment. All other components: 18 months from the date of shipment (from the factory) or 12 months from the date of installation/start-up, whichever occurs first • Coverage: 100% parts only
