Description
The AG Suction Bacteria Filter is a round suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency that screws into the aspirator port and guards the pump from canister overflow. When a suction aspirator device runs for hours every day, the difference between smooth therapy and a service call is often one small replaceable part. That pattern-true fit is what separates a five-minute change on the suction aspirator unit from a frustrating one.
- 99.999+% Filtration – Through its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 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 suction aspirator via its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 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 3/8 in barb connection grips standard suction tubing for a sealed, stay-put joint.
Protecting the Pump Behind the Canister
This part is a round suction bacteria filter with 99.999+% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency that screws into the aspirator port and guards the pump from canister overflow. 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 3/8 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 suction 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?
It stands between the collection canister and the pump of the suction aspirator at its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in barb connection, blocking bacteria, viruses and fluid carryover. That barrier is what keeps the suction aspirator pump behind the 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in barb connection clean and the suction strong.
How is this filter rated?
The rating AG publishes for this 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in 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 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in 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 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in 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 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in barb path can be matched at once.
Are the canisters reusable?
Canisters in the suction aspirator line are single-patient disposables by design, as is the inline filter that guards them. The shut-off in the lid protects the suction aspirator pump behind the 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 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?
It is an AG Industries part, made by a filtration specialist for machines like the suction aspirator, at its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in barb connection. AG patterns its suction line for the major aspirator brands named in each listing, this one for the suction aspirator at its 1/8 in screw mount with a 1/4 to 3/8 in barb connection.
