Vitalograph BVF™ Bacterial Viral Filters feature an electrostatically charged barrier that filters droplets, aerosols, bacteria and viruses out of the airstream giving better than 99.999% cross contamination efficiency.

A BVF protects the patient, operator and equipment from cross infection and contamination during pulmonary function testing.

Improved hygiene with lower running costs; when a new BVF is used for every patient the interior of the device is protected meaning that only exterior surface cleaning should be required.

Vitalograph BVFs are suitable for all PFT systems and do not have to be approved for use. We ensure that our filters are independently tested and validated with all relevant certifications held for CE marking, in accordance with the EU Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC, as well as for other applicable standards.

The use of BVFs does not give rise to errors in measurements, from spirometers or PFT systems. It is important to note the following points:

  1. Resistance (Flow Impedance) of the filter: Vitalograph filters are well below the maximum resistance value recommended by international ATS/ERS/ISO technical standards.
  2. Vitalograph BVFs have a comparatively small effective dead space of 65ml to improve the validity and consistency of testing and minimize rebreathing.

The Vitalograph range includes both round and oval filter so that you can choose either. Vitalograph offer separate mouthpieces that can be attached to filters. These mouthpieces are available to order individually or as a kit with BVF and nose clip.

PFT Kits are made up from a combination of filter, nose-clip and various mouthpieces or adapters. They are a cost effective and convenient solution with all components in a single, easy to access pack.

In most cases the filter fits without requiring an adapter.  Speak to our team to learn more.
