Description
The AG Suction Bacteria Filter is a square suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency, threaded for Schuco aspirator ports. Users rarely think about this part until it is overdue, and by then the Schuco aspirator machine is usually already showing it. It is a small part with an outsized say in how reliably the Schuco aspirator machine performs between services.
- 99.999+% Filtration – Through its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in 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 Schuco aspirator via its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb connection, it keeps aspirated fluid and aerosol away from the vacuum mechanism.
- AG Filtration Pedigree – Drawn from decades of medical filtration work, not adapted from an industrial catalog.
- Secure Barb Fit – The 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb connection grips standard suction tubing for a sealed, stay-put joint.
Protecting the Pump Behind the Canister
This part is a square suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency, threaded for Schuco aspirator ports. It comes from AG's suction line, the product family a filtration specialist founded in 1982 built around barriers like this 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb part. An aspirator's vacuum is only useful while its fluid path stays a one-way street, and this part keeps it that way. The filter and tubing parts in that path are wear items, and replacing them on rhythm keeps suction strong and the pump protected. For the team running the Schuco aspirator, that means suction 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 Schuco aspirator at its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb connection, it keeps bacteria, virus particles and aspirated fluid on the patient side. The pump behind the 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb stays clean because the filter does the stopping.
How is this filter rated?
AG rates the media in this 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb part at over 99.999% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency. AG's own catalog prints the rating for this 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb part.
How do I know which connection I need?
This listing's connection is the 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb connection for the Schuco aspirator path. Match the 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in 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 in the Schuco aspirator line are single-patient disposables by design, as is the inline filter that guards them. The shut-off in the lid protects the Schuco aspirator pump behind the 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb connection as the canister fills, and the whole unit is replaced when the service is done.
Is this an AG part or the machine maker's part?
AG Industries makes it, as an aftermarket part patterned for the Schuco aspirator at its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb connection. AG's own catalog is the source for this 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 1/2 in barb part's specifications.
