Oxygen Concentrator Filters

Introducing AssureTM REVOLUTIONARY Porous Media’s advanced filtration and separation technologies have pioneered the oxygen concentrator market. From bacterial and viral removal filters, to the first filtersilencers for oxygen concentrators, and now the revolutionary HUMIDIFLOWTM humidification device, Porous Media continues to be the innovator and industry leader in oxygen concentrator filtration and humidification.

INNOVATIVE Originally only available through OEMs, ASSURETM filters are now available to home healthcare providers to assure that your oxygen concentrators have optimum protection and performance.

Porous Media was the first to design, develop, and produce: • High temperature HEPA capsule filters used downstream of compressors • Filter-silencers for the optimization of particle filtration and sound attenuation in a single device • Bacteria filters with exceptional dirt holding capacity and high flows for long life • Specific, custom filtration designs for OEM requirements

RELIABLE ASSURETM filters provide high filtration efficiencies, low pressure drops, and high performance in protecting oxygen concentrators and patients. All designs have gone through a rigorous product development cycle. This includes a battery of tests which assure reliable performance. • Sophisticated test equipment such as laser and CNC particle counters are used to measure filter efficiency • Sound chambers and advanced sound detection equipment are used to test the noise reduction capabilities of filter-silencers • Bacterial and viral removal efficiencies undergo ISO standard and quality testing to validate and assure bacterial and viral removal efficiencies of 99.9999%

Automated manufacturing ensures high quality and cost effective production

Advanced particle counters test filtration efficiencies to 99.9999+%

Introducing AssureTM QUALITY Some companies talk quality. Porous Media lives it. As an FDA registered, ISO 13485:2003 Certified Quality Company, Porous Media not only manufactures in accordance with the most stringent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements, we raise the quality paradigm to a new level. By strictly controlling the manufacturing environment through highly automated and sophisticated processes, we are able to assure that our products perform to unsurpassed quality levels – each and every time.

Due to the regulated nature of the home healthcare industry, all oxygen concentrator filters MUST be registered with the FDA and have 510(k) status. Porous Media’s O2 filters are cleared for marketing in the U.S. with 510(k) status for your assurance. Porous Media is ISO 13485:2003 certified and registered with the FDA.

DBF

ASSURETM DBF Series

Compressor Inlet HEPA Filter/Silencer: The DBF series bacterial intake filters provide true HEPA filtration for patient protection. The DBF series of filters are used to remove bacteria from the ambient air stream, remove atmospheric dust and debris found in typical oxygen concentrator environments, and to reduce noise levels. The high efficiency filtration helps not only to protect the patient, but also to extend compressor life by reducing contamination. Not only are the DBF series HEPA rated, they also remove bacteria and viruses with greater than 99.999% filtration efficiency. Porous Media 100% tests each filter for efficiency, so you can be assured you are purchasing the highest quality parts in the industry.

ASSURETM DDF ASSURETM DDF Series Final Patient Bacteria Filter:

The DDF series of filters (available in a variety of connections for your particular requirements) help protect the patient from concentrator sieve contamination and protect the concentrator from patient bacteria and viral transmission.

ASSURETM DFC ASSURETM DFC Series Compressor Outlet/Filter Silencer:

The DFC series of compressor outlet/filter silencers remove potentially harmful contamination from air compressors. Sources of contamination include carbon and other debris generated during operation. These contaminants can cause critical valves to malfunction. The DFC series filters provide HEPA filtration for the valves and help improve the operation of the concentrator. Proprietary high-temperature filter capsule construction provides exceptional temperature compatibility for air compressors that operate at high temperatures typically greater than 200ºF (Respironics and Devilbiss). The extended high surface area of HEPA filter media removes greater than 99.97% of particles 0.3 µm in size and larger while maintaining a low resistance to air flow from the compressor. This helps not only to maintain proper valve performance, but also helps to extend the life of your molecular sieve. In addition to protecting valves and molecular sieve beds, the DFC series filters also reduce sound for additional patient comfort.
