MaxiStop™/S
HEPA Filter
Our MaxiStopTM/s HEPA filter meets filtration requirements
for use in the operating room, intensive care unit , and other
respiratory care environments. This disposable HEPA filter
provides highly efficient protection against various types
of microorganisms present in breathing circuits. The radial
pleated filter mechanically reduces transfer of bacteria
and viruses between patients, personnel and equipment
up to 99.9999%1. Hydrophobic filter helps prevent liquid
breakthrough. The cap-and-strap feature attaches the
sampling port cap to the MaxiStop/S, ensuring it won’t be
lost or misplaced.
Our proven success in anesthesia and respiratory care offers
you and your patient efficient and effective filtration.
• Designed for low breathing resistance, reducing the
patient’s work of breathing

• Transparent housing makes it easy to determine
replacement
• Round shape optimizes airflow and reduces dead space
• Sampling port allows for convenient gas sampling
proximal to the patient
GE Healthcare provides single-source
simplicity
Purchasing accessories and supplies from a single source
means fewer purchase orders to process, less vendors to
research, and fewer contracts to review. It also translates
to cost savings through customized supply contracts, like
continuing supply agreements and deferred purchase
agreements. And when your single source is GE Healthcare,
you have the benefit of a dedicated sales and support
organization, as well as global resource and distribution
network. Make the right connection with accessories and
supplies from GE Healthcare.
Warning
Never connect a nebulizer upstream of the filter. This device
has dead space, which should be taken into consideration
when calculating tidal volume and patient ventilation
requirements. The recommended frequency for changing
filter is at least every 24 hours or earlier if increased
resistance is noted.
Caution
Replace filter immediately, if there is any suspicion of
contamination, occlusion, or other indications of malfunction
present.
Instructions for Use
For detailed information on use of product, always refer to
the instructions for use accompanying the device.
