Filters

Based on generations of arterial filters, the GAF series Arterial Filter provides optimum safety and efficacy for your extracorporeal circuit. Unique non-turbulent flow dynamics provide quick and easy evacuation of air, directing it upward through the integral vent/purge port. A decreasing radial design combined with the inclined orientation of the blood inlet reduces gaseous emboli reaching the filter and microemboli migration throughout the device. The 168 ml priming volume minimizes hemodilution while the large 775 cm2  filtration surface area ensures effective handling of blood. Clear polycarbonate housing enhances visibility of the inlet and outlet sides of the filter screen during priming and debubbling.

An Integrated Bypass Option simplifies the perfusion circuit by reducing the number of connections required and dramatically decreases total priming volume when compared to conventional bypass tubing loops. A Bypass Tubing Loop Option provides flexibility for connection to any circuit configuration. The simple design of the Pole Mount Holder provides for secure connections and rotates 360ºfor ease of priming.

All filters are provided with a four-way stopcock and are available Single sterile or as part of your GISH Extracorporeal Custom Tubing Pack.

The GISH Series of pre-bypass filters are designed to filter the recirculating noncellular priming solution of the extracorporeal circuit. The filter media size is five microns. The end connections are designed to fit 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" tubing.
