1.3 Product Description
The MV Filter Modules are designed to be a filter
for the central vacuum system in hospitals and
surgery centers and are located in the plant room
(or basement) of these facilities.
The filters are designed to protect the vacuum sys
-
tem from liquid, solid, or bacterial contamination.
There is a transparent drain flask on the bottom
of each filter that collects liquids and can be eas
-
ily removed for sterilization. The filters are placed
before the vacuum system. By filtering bacterial
contamination before the vacuum system, the fil
-
ters not only protect the vacuum system, but also
the men and women who service the vacuum sys
-
tem. The moving air created by the vacuum sys
-
tem eventually gets exhausted into the outside
air. The filters also protect people in the commu
-
nity where the exhaust gases are being released
into the outside air.
1.4 Environmental Considerations
The MV Filter Modules are to be installed in accor
-
dance with requirements stated by NFPA 99, ISO
