Why do I need to use the safety filter at the end of the cannula?
The safety filter (actually called a hydrophobic filter) has two important functions: (1) prevent damaging moisture from entering the Pressure Transducer; and (2) prevent patient cross-contamination by eliminating airborne contaminants. For these two reasons we insist you only use the BRAEBON safety filter. Unlike filters used by other manufacturers, the BRAEBON safety filter will not restrict your pressure signal.
