Description
The AG Suction Bacteria Filter is a compact X-body suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency for the smaller tubing runs on portable aspirators. Every suction aspirator machine has a short list of parts that decide its service life, and this is one of them. Swapped on schedule, it keeps the suction aspirator setup performing the way it did when it was new.
- 99.999+% Filtration – Through its 1/4 to 3/8 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 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection, it keeps aspirated fluid and aerosol away from the vacuum mechanism.
- AG Filtration Pedigree – Built by a manufacturer whose core business is medical filtration, in the same line as its CPAP and oxygen filters.
- Secure Barb Fit – The 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection grips standard suction tubing for a sealed, stay-put joint.
A Rated Barrier in the Suction Line
This part is a compact X-body suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency for the smaller tubing runs on portable aspirators. It belongs to AG's suction line, built by a filtration manufacturer that has specialized in exactly this kind of barrier since 1982. On the suction aspirator, suction only works when air moves freely and fluid stays where it belongs, in the canister. Wear items in the fluid path are cheap insurance: changed on rhythm, they keep suction strong and the pump out of the repair shop. For caregivers, that means an aspirator that is ready when it is needed, at home or at the bedside.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bacteria filter protect?
It stands between the collection canister and the pump of the suction aspirator at its 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection, blocking bacteria, viruses and fluid carryover. That barrier is what keeps the suction aspirator pump behind the 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection clean and the suction strong.
How is this filter rated?
The rating AG publishes for this 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb part is over 99.999% bacterial and viral efficiency, per its own catalog for the suction aspirator line. It is a rated barrier at the 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection in the suction aspirator path, not a nominal screen.
How do I know which connection I need?
Match the connection named in the title, the 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection on this suction aspirator listing, to your aspirator's port, and match the barb sizes to your tubing. The kit listings name their contents, so a full service for the suction aspirator and its 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb path can be matched at once.
Are the canisters reusable?
The canisters used with the suction aspirator are disposable and are replaced rather than reprocessed, and the inline filter at the 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection guarding them is changed at the same visit. The float valve or hydrophobic shut-off in the lid is what protects the pump behind the 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb as the canister fills.
Is this an AG part or the machine maker's part?
It is an AG Industries part, made by a filtration specialist for machines like the suction aspirator, at its 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection. AG patterns its suction line for the major aspirator brands named in each listing, this one for the suction aspirator at its 1/4 to 3/8 in barb-to-barb connection.
