Carefusion 5096 - Bacterial Filter for Anesthesia and Respiratory Circuits

Carefusion 5096 - Bacterial Filter for Anesthesia and Respiratory Circuits

The Carefusion 5096 Bacterial Filter is a high-efficiency filtration component used in anesthesia and respiratory therapy circuits to protect patients and equipment from bacterial and particulate contamination. Designed for both adult and pediatric use, this filter acts as a barrier within ventilator circuits, anesthesia machines, and manual resuscitation setups. It ensures optimal air quality while maintaining low resistance to airflow, supporting safe and effective respiratory care.

Key Benefits

• High Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE): Helps prevent cross-contamination between patients and respiratory equipment

• Low Resistance to Flow: Maintains optimal ventilation pressures and reduces strain on respiratory systems

• Universal Connector Compatibility: Fits standard 22mm and 15mm respiratory connections

• Lightweight, Single-Use Design: Minimizes dead space and simplifies infection control

• Versatile Application: Suitable for use in both anesthesia delivery and mechanical ventilation

Compatibility and Applications

• Compatible with:

  • Standard ventilators and anesthesia machines

  • Manual resuscitators (bag-valve-mask units)

  • Heated and non-heated breathing circuits

• Used in:

  • Intensive care units (ICU)

  • Operating rooms

  • Emergency and transport settings

  • Long-term ventilation environments

Usage Guidelines

• Insert the filter between the patient interface (mask, ET tube, etc.) and the breathing circuit

• Ensure secure connection to prevent air leaks

• Monitor for signs of blockage or moisture buildup; replace as needed per facility protocol

• Single-use only do not attempt to clean or reuse

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

• FDA-cleared for use in respiratory and anesthesia circuits

• Compliant with ISO 23328-1 standards for breathing system filters

• Manufactured under ISO 13485 certified quality systems

• Latex-free, safe for patients with latex sensitivities
