Description and Use

Memtrex FE-S (MFE-S) filters (Figure 1) are sterilizing
grade cartridge filters for use in validated applica-
tions. The commitment to validation by GE Water &
Process Technologies is based upon the FDA Guide-
lines that we “establish documented evidence of
assurance that a specific process will consistently
produce a product meeting its predetermined
specification and quality attributes.”
A detailed Validation Guide is available from GE to
document our rigorous testing for your records
and reviews. The guide includes all the data neces-
sary to assist the user with compliance to regula-
tory requirements.
The inherently hydrophobic MFE-S filter is just one
example of our strong commitment to the pharma-
ceutical industry. Our complete portfolio includes
