Frequently Asked Questions

A medical vacuum filter removes contaminants, such as dust, bacteria, and particulate matter, from the vacuum system in healthcare settings. It ensures that the vacuum system provides clean air or gases for medical procedures and equipment, protecting patients and staff.

Not all medical vacuum filters are universally compatible with different vacuum systems. The type of filter required depends on the specific vacuum system and its intended application. Be sure to choose a filter designed for your specific vacuum system (e.g., portable, central, or wall-mounted systems).

Using the wrong medical vacuum filter can lead to inadequate filtration, which could contaminate the medical environment, inefficient vacuum performance, or even damage the vacuum system. Always choose filters that meet your system's specifications and are certified for medical use.

Medical vacuum filters must handle the airflow or flow rate required by your vacuum system without causing excessive pressure drop or reducing vacuum efficiency. Ensure the filter matches the specifications of your vacuum system to maintain optimal performance.

The right medical vacuum filter depends on several factors, including the type of vacuum system you have, the specific contaminants you need to filter, and the flow rate of your system. Ensure the filter is compatible with your system’s specifications and meets the required filtration standards for medical use.

Our GMV medical vacuum filters are designed to remove various contaminants, including airborne particles, bacteria, viruses, dust, oil vapors, and moisture. This ensures the vacuum system remains clean and operates efficiently without contaminating medical environments.

The GMV range has a micron rating of 0.01 or >99.9999%, indicating the size of particles the filter can capture. The HTM 02-01 standard specifies a filtration efficiency of >99.995%, meaning the GMV medical vacuum filter range exceeds this requirement.

The drain flask is easily removable and can be sterilized for repeated use. 

The design operating pressure range is FV to 7 psig. The pressure rating indicates the maximum vacuum pressure the filter can withstand without collapsing or being damaged. Ensure that the filter is rated to handle the vacuum pressures used in your system to maintain efficiency and avoid potential system failure.

Yes, our filters are designed to meet the highest industry standards, including ISO 7396-1, HTM 02-01, and the 2018 revision of NFPA (5.1.3.7.4), making them the go-to choice for dental, medical, and veterinary applications.

nano GMV filter housings are made from die-cast aluminum alloy and feature a durable powder-coated exterior. They also have an internal and external E-Coat™ finish for superior corrosion resistance. The filter element is constructed from an oleophobic borosilicate microfiber media with an open-cell reticulated foam prefilter.

Installation typically involves connecting the filter to the vacuum system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the filter is securely installed and fits the designated space for optimal performance. Consult the product manual for detailed installation steps.

The filters require regular maintenance to function correctly—contact nano for the 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 GMV 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
