Description
The AG High Flow Suction Bacteria Filter is a high flow suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency, built with a wide cross body that keeps airflow up on high-volume units. Home medical equipment earns its keep quietly, as long as the wear parts on a suction aspirator setup are replaced before they become the reason for a breakdown. It does its work invisibly, which is exactly what a part inside a suction aspirator machine is supposed to do.
- 99.999+% Filtration – Through its 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb housing, the hydrophobic media is rated to block over 99.999% of bacteria and viruses that reach it, per AG's catalog rating for this filter family.
- Patient-Side Protection – Mounted between the canister and the pump on suction aspirator via its 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb connection, it keeps aspirated fluid and aerosol away from the vacuum mechanism.
- AG Filtration Pedigree – Made by the same specialists behind AG's CPAP and oxygen filter lines.
- Secure Barb Fit – The 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb connection grips standard suction tubing for a sealed, stay-put joint.
Where Suction Hygiene Actually Happens
This part is a high flow suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency, built with a wide cross body that keeps airflow up on high-volume units. AG builds it in the suction line it has specialized in since 1982, alongside the canisters and tubing the suction aspirator path uses. Suction equipment only works when air moves freely and fluid stays where it belongs, in the canister. In the suction aspirator path, the filter is a wear item by design, and changing it on rhythm is what keeps the pump protected. For caregivers, that means a suction aspirator that is ready when it is needed, at home or at the bedside.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bacteria filter protect?
Mounted in the line of the suction aspirator at its 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb connection, it keeps bacteria, virus particles and aspirated fluid on the patient side. The pump behind the 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb stays clean because the filter does the stopping.
How is this filter rated?
AG rates the media in this 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb part at over 99.999% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency. AG's own catalog prints the rating for this 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb part.
How do I know which connection I need?
This listing's connection is the 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb connection for the suction aspirator path. Match the 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb to your machine's port and your tubing's barb sizes before ordering, because suction fittings are not universal.
Are the canisters reusable?
Canisters on the suction aspirator are not reprocessed. They are replaced, and the filter at the 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb connection is replaced with them. The lid's shut-off is what keeps fluid out of the suction aspirator pump as the canister fills.
Is this an AG part or the machine maker's part?
AG Industries makes it, as an aftermarket part patterned for the suction aspirator at its 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb connection. AG's own catalog is the source for this 3/8 to 1/2 in barb-to-barb part's specifications.
