Manual V 16 14/02/2020 P22 of 34
We recommend use of the Intersurgical Filter-guard filter (code 1944) or Westmed bacterial
filter (WM6216). These are specified to be 99.999% efficient for bacterial/viral filtration and has
ports which fit our NR6 mask on one side and our flowhead on the other. This filter is intended
for use by one patient only and over a period not exceeding 24 hours. Its use must be restricted
to situations approved by Intersurgical / Westmed. No filter is 100% efficient so you may
consider it prudent, if dealing with a patient who has a known or probable infection problem, to
decontaminate the flowhead after use even when a filter has been used. Further details for this
can be found in Appendix 3
If required the tubing between the NR6 Rhinomanometer and patient components can be
wiped with 70% isopropyl soaked cloths/wipes.
