1.1 Product description
The Germlyser® ENT is a -marked, inline sterile tap filter for use between ENT handles and the nozzle

Legionella pneumophila, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia or Staphylococcus aureus among
immunosuppressed and immunocompromised patients. To achieve this intended use, a specific
combination of retention of these bacteria in the filter membrane structure and specific measurements to
prevent retrogarde contamination with these bacteria on the filter outlet, are necessary.
