FILTER HMEF YOUFILTER Ag® minimizes the risk of cross contamination during handling and replacement. A product with technology aimed at prioritizing the safety and health of the patient and the entire multidisciplinary team.

Extensive investigations have been conducted to ensure that both nanoparticles of silver (AgNPs) as well as silver ions (Ag+) do not leach out and get inhaled by the patient.

Water vapor extraction test using saturated atmosphere (RH 99%).
After 4 days of water vapor extraction, the concentration of AgNPs and silver ions (Ag+) did not reach the detection limits (<0.1-10 ppm ) evaluated using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).
