Blood filter IMUGARD® III

for blood bags

IMUGARD III is a leukocyte removal filter system made from biocompatible polyurethane material. Highly porous, this material provides stable filtration of leukocytes and microaggregates. Within the filter, patented technology ensures optimal pore size distribution and pore density. Entrapment of leukocytes is achieved mainly by pore size distribution within the filter, with very limited cell-material interaction. The absence of cell or protein activation yields blood products of very high purity. Made from unique microporous polyurethane filter material for biocompatibility Stable and specific pore size for reliable filtration Average residual leukocyte count below 2 × 105 Requires no rinsing Easy to handle Color-coded clamps for easy identification IMUGARD III-RC for Whole Blood or Red Blood Cells The IMUGARD III-RC filter is a hard-housing filter designed to remove leukocytes and microaggregates from one unit of whole blood or red blood cell concentrate. Each filter system is equipped with a spike, clamps and tubing. The filter housing material is semitransparent to make monitoring the filtration process easier. IMUGARD III-RC filter systems are available in lab and bedside versions. The lab version features a bypass line for removing air from the transfer bag. The bedside version features a drip chamber and a roller clamp below the filter to adjust flow to the patient. Offers greater than 90 percent red blood cell recovery Made from biocompatible materials and features an air removal system for superior filtration Offers stable performance for blood stored for long periods
