Bacteria-free water
at the last centimetre
before the user.
The hollow fibre membrane does not reduce the bacterial load: it excludes it, mechanically, at the point where the water meets the person. It is the only measure that takes effect from the very first second, whatever is happening upstream in the network.
How a hollow
fibre membrane
works.
The heart of the filter is a bundle of hundreds of hollow polymer capillaries, fractions of a millimetre in diameter, sealed at their ends in a resin that forces all the water through their wall. It is that wall, not a bed of material, that does the filtering.
The capillary wall has an absolute pore size of 0.2 µm: retention is steric, that is, purely dimensional. Whatever is larger than the pore does not pass, ever, regardless of the incoming load, the contact time or saturation — unlike systems that work by adsorption or chemical action and lose effectiveness as they are used up.
The hollow fibre format serves a second purpose: fitting many square metres of filtering surface into a few cubic centimetres. It is this density that allows a comfortable flow rate to be maintained — from 10 to over 20 litres per minute depending on the model — despite sterile-grade filtration.
- 7 log retention (99.99999%) verified on Brevundimonas diminuta to the ASTM F838 standard, the reference method for validating sterilising filters
- Retains Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Staphylococcus aureus, atypical mycobacteria, fungi, amoebae and protozoa
- External surfaces with MetalSkin® antibacterial coating, validated to ISO 22196, against retrograde contamination from the environment towards the filter outlet
- Chlorine resistance up to 10 ppm in continuous dosing, with tolerance to chemical shocks of up to 400,000 ppm for one hour
- Individual marking of every unit for traceability in hospital hygiene documentation
- No plumbing modifications: the filter fits onto the existing outlet and the system stays in service
Designed and manufactured
in Germany.
The filters we supply come from Aqua free, a Hamburg company specialising exclusively in water hygiene, which develops and manufactures in its own plants in Germany and Belgium — membranes included. This is not the assembly of bought-in components: the chain, from fibre to finished product, stays in-house.
In-house production
Manufacturing plants in Germany and Belgium: the membranes and filter cartridges are developed and made in-house, not bought from third parties.
ISO 9001 · 14001 · 13485
Management system certified for quality, environment and — with ISO 13485 — for the manufacture of medical devices.
CE medical devices
The filters in the Baclyser® range are CE-marked medical devices, developed in collaboration with European university hospitals.
Individual traceability
Every filter carries a unique marking: installation date, expiry and batch go into the maintenance log.

Filter the range by context of use: anti-Legionella protection at points of use, or sterile filtration for medical equipment and procedures.
Anti-Legionella filters
for points of use.
Showers, taps and filling points: the barrier fits onto the outlet and protects whoever uses it, without shutting down the system and without building work.

A barrier, not an alibi.
The filter protects the person, it does not remediate the network. In the prevention plan it has three precise roles, and in none of the three does it replace remediation.
- Emergency: immediate protection of the wards involved in a cluster or in an analytical result above threshold, while the investigation begins
- Bridge: cover for the points of use during remediation and in the weeks of verification that follow
- Permanent safeguard: stable protection of high-risk areas — intensive care, oncology, transplants, dialysis, severe burns units — where residual risk is not acceptable
