A Pall quality product

• Manufactured under approved standards
• Performance tested in independent laboratories ^1,5,7,9
• Clinically proven safety ^2,3,4

High efficiency low resistance filtration medium

• The PF30S pulmonary filter prevents the passage of aerosolized micro-droplets
• Reducing the contamination level of pneumotachographs, valves and machinery ^2,5
• Protecting patients against cross-contamination ^2,3,5
• Clinical studies show that the PF30Spulmonary function filters have no clinically significant effect on the pulmonary instrument of "Viasys" Spirometer
• Even on pediatric patients, no significant changes can be found ⁴

Clear transparent housing

• Allows for easy monitoring of gross contamination with mucus and patient secretions
• Clean and hygienic appearance for patient comfort and safety
• Free of PVC and natural rubber latex
• May be used as a mouth piece
• Tight connector fitting prevents leakage during diffusion tests ⁶
• Smooth design reduces turbulent flow and gives very low resistance ^2,3

Bi-Directional housing and media design

• The PF30 Spulmonary function filters can be used on test protocols that include n-and expiratory breathing maneuvers ²
• Resistance does not change during use ⁶

Small volume (40mL)

• Prevents deviations in test results due to the patient's compensation of additional deadspace
• Minimal influence on volume related measurements ²

Cost Efficient

• The PF30 Spulmonary filter has been shown to reduce labor and material cost ³

Consistently high quality

• Well controlled manufacturing process ensures dimensional consistency
• 100% integrity tested
