Point-of-Use Water Filter

The Nephros 70-0280 is an FDA 510(k)-cleared Class II medical device engineered for critical infection control applications in healthcare and laboratory environments. This point-of-use sink spout filter delivers sterilizing-grade water purification suitable for surgical handwashing, medical equipment cleaning, and drinking water applications where pathogen reduction is essential. Utilizing advanced 0.1 micron polysulfone hollow-fiber membrane technology, this dual-stage ultrafilter achieves validated bacterial retention exceeding 10 to the 9th power for Bacillus diminuta, meeting sterilizing-grade performance standards per ASTM F838-20. The filtration mechanism removes bacteria and viruses through size exclusion, providing reliable contamination control without chemical additives. This in-line quick-connect filter features proprietary single-stage filtration technology optimized for efficient flow rates relative to pore size, minimizing pressure drop while maintaining superior particle removal. The unit supports up to 5,000 on-off cycles with a 90-day replacement interval, making it economical for high-traffic sink applications in hospitals, surgical centers, dialysis facilities, and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. The compact design integrates seamlessly into existing sink installations via quick-connect fittings, enabling rapid deployment and maintenance without extensive plumbing modifications. Ideal for infection prevention protocols where EPA-quality water is mandated, the Nephros 70-0280 provides healthcare facilities with reliable microbial control at the point of use, supporting compliance with infection control standards and patient safety requirements.
