GMV Medical Vacuum Filter By Nano

The nano GMV Medical Vacuum Filter protects vacuum pumps and staff by removing solid, liquid, and bacterial contamination from medical vacuum systems before it can reach the pump or be exhausted into the surrounding environment. Built to the highest industry standards, including ISO 7396-1, HTM 02-01, and the 2018 revision of NFPA (5.1.3.7.4), the GMV range is the go-to choice for medical, dental, and veterinary vacuum applications. Each filter includes an easy-to-remove sterilizable drain flask and manual valve as standard, and the cast aluminum housing carries a 10-year warranty and is designed in accordance with ASME pressure vessel standards.

How to select your GMV filter

1. Size to your vacuum flow. Choose the model whose free aspirated air rating (1 to 125 SCFM) meets or exceeds your medical vacuum system demand.
2. Match the connection. GMV housings use 1/4" to 3" NPT (F) connections that scale with the flow rating.
3. Confirm the standard required. All models exceed HTM 02-01 (>99.995%) with >99.9999% efficiency at 0.01 micron and meet ISO 7396-1 and NFPA 2018.
4. Plan for element service. Replace the filter element every 6 months or 1000 hours to maintain performance.

Frequently asked questions

What does a medical vacuum filter do? It removes dust, bacteria, viruses, and particulate from the vacuum system so contaminated air is not drawn into the pump or exhausted into the facility, protecting both patients and staff.

What is the filtration rating? The GMV range filters to 0.01 micron with greater than 99.9999% efficiency, exceeding the HTM 02-01 requirement of greater than 99.995%.

How often is the element replaced? Replace the filter element every 6 months or 1000 hours, whichever comes first.

Is the drain flask reusable? Yes. The drain flask is easily removable and can be sterilized for repeated use.

What standards does it meet? The GMV range meets ISO 7396-1, HTM 02-01, and the 2018 revision of NFPA (5.1.3.7.4), and the housing is designed to ASME pressure vessel standards.
