I.V.STAR^® Filter - Safe and reliable

Infusion therapies have become indispensable in everyday clinical practice, e.g. for parenteral nutrition, volume substitution or administration of medication, daily preparation of a variety of infusions and applications to the patient. This does not only create a heavy workload for physicians and nurses, it also carries a high risk especially for sensitive departments such as neonatology, intensive care or immunosuppressed patients. We help raising the safety of your patients and the hygiene standards to a higher level. The consistent use of our various I.V.STAR^® filters and filter systems enables you to effectively eliminate microorganisms, particles and also air from the infusion system.

The I.V.STAR^® range contains filter in various sizes and with different filter membranes:

I.V.STAR^®
The filters of the I.V.STAR^® series contain a 0.2 µm hydrophilic polyether sulfone (PES) filter membrane for the retention of particles and microorganism as well as elimination of air. The I.V.STAR^® filters with this membrane are available with a filter surface area of 1.6 cm², 4.5 cm² and 10 cm². The housing colour is transparent white.

I.V.STAR^®PLUS
The filters of the I.V.STAR^®PLUS series contain a 0.2 µm hydrophilic polyether sulfone (PES) filter membrane like the I.V.STAR filters, additionally charged positively for the retention of endotoxins. The I.V.STAR^®PLUS filters with this membrane are available with a filter surface of 1.6 cm² and 10 cm². The housing colour is transparent green.

I.V.STAR^® F
The filters of the I.V.STAR^® F series contain a 1.2 µm hydrophilic polyether sulfone (PES) filter membrane for filtration of lipid solutions and lipid-containing medications. The I.V.STAR^® F filters with this membrane are available with a filter surface of 1.6 cm², 4.5 cm² and 10 cm². The housing colour is transparent blue.

Additionally, all CODAN I.V.STAR^® models contain a 0.02 µm hydrophobic polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) membrane for ventilation of the filter. All CODAN I.V.STAR^® filters are integrable in customer-specific infusion set configurations and can be operated with all common infusion pumps.
