The Affinity Arterial Filter’s advantages include ease of prime and effective air handling and filtration.
Ease of Prime
- The clear housing provides total visibility
- All potting and support mesh have been eliminated to ensure ease of prime
- Reduced horizontal surfaces minimize bubble hang-up
- Upward and inward sloped surfaces promote air elimination
Effective Air Handling
- Computational Fluid Dynamics design offers optimum air handling
- Large frontal area provides ideal blood flow characteristics
Effective Filtration
- Concentric pleating maximizes available surface area
- Large screen "open area" provides efficient flow and filtration
- 38-micron screen with 31% open area
