Bacterial filtration efficiency >99.99% (mean particle size 3.0 microns); viral filtration efficiency >99.99% (mean particle size 3.1 microns); moisture output 26.6 mg H2O/l at 300 ml tidal volume and 22.2 mg H2O/l at 600 ml tidal volume. ## Technological Characteristics Combination bacterial/viral filter and HME. Housing and filtration/HME media construction. Passive heat and moisture exchange principle. Mechanical filtration. ## Regulatory Identification A breathing circuit bacterial filter is a device that is intended to remove microbiological and particulate matter from the gases in the breathing circuit. ## Predicate Devices - Humid-Vent Filter ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Iso-Gard HEPA Filter-HME and Iso-Gard HEPA Filter-HME with Port are combination products, i.e. bacterial/viral filters and heat and moisture exchangers, and are substantially equivalent to the Humid-Vent Filter. The bacterial filtration efficiency has been demonstrated to be >99.99 for a mean particle size of 3.0 microns. The viral filtration efficiency has been demonstrated to be >99.99 for a mean particle size of 3.1 microns. The moisture output has been demonstrated to be 26.6 mg H₂O/l air at 300 ml tidal volume and 22.2 mg H₂O/l air at 600 ml tidal volume. The principal differences between the Iso-Gard HEPA Filter-HME, the Iso-Gard HEPA Filter-HME with Port and the Humid-Vent Filter are the design of the housing and the filtration/HME media utilized. These differences are not considered to be critical to the intended therapeutic, diagnostic, prosthetic or surgical use of the device nor should these differences significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device when used as labeled. ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) 2/9/96 Date Gibeck, Inc. 10640 East 59th Street • P.O.
