Carefusion 003006 - Small Volume Filter for Respiratory Therapy and Spirometry
The Carefusion 003006 Small Volume Filter is a compact, high-efficiency bacterial/viral filter designed to protect patients and equipment during respiratory therapy procedures. Engineered for use in breathing circuits, ventilators, and spirometry systems, this filter offers an optimal balance of filtration performance and low resistance, making it ideal for both diagnostic and therapeutic respiratory applications.
Its small volume design makes it particularly well-suited for pediatric use, low tidal volume patients, and applications where minimal dead space is critical for accurate measurements and efficient airflow.
Key Benefits
High-efficiency filtration: Captures bacteria and viruses with >99.99% efficiency, supporting infection control protocols.
Low resistance to airflow: Minimizes work of breathing and maintains patient comfort during therapy.
Compact form factor: Reduces circuit dead spaceideal for pediatric and neonatal use or sensitive lung function testing.
Universal compatibility: Connects easily to standard 22 mm/15 mm fittings on ventilators, spirometers, and breathing circuits.
Single-use and disposable: Prevents cross-contamination and simplifies clinical workflow.
