Air diffusion per 10" module after saturation with
60% IPA/40% water (by volume) solution.
≤ 10cc/min at 13 psig (0.90 bar). Memtrex FE-S fil-
ters meeting this specification have been demon-
strated to provide sterile effluent based on B.

* GE MFE-S cartridge filters tested and passed for integrity
under bubble point test method ASTM F-316-03. Exposure to
circulating air at above temperatures.
Additional Information
• Memtrex-FE-S filters may be autoclaved at
249.8°F (121°C) or in-situ steam sterilized at
275°F (135°C) for up to 100 one-hour cycles.
Steam resistance was determined using clean fil-
ters in controlled conditions; actual steam
resistance may be affected by application condi-
tions. Alternatively, the filters may be sanitized
with compatible chemical agents.
• GE certifies that the material contained in its
Memtrex FE-S pleated filters meet U.S. FDA
requirements for food contact under the appli-
cable regulations in 21 CFR. For further informa-
tion, contact GE technical services. Memtrex FE-S
filters meet the test criteria for USP class
VI-121°C Plastics.
• Aqueous extracts from Memtrex FE-S filters con-
tain less that 0.25 EU/ml. The filters typically
exhibit low levels of non-volatile residues.
• GE filter cartridges are designed and manufac-
tured for resistance to a wide range of chemical
solutions. Conditions will vary with each applica-
tion and users should carefully verify chemical
compatibility. Please contact your GE distributor
for more information.
