Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does the Brain Series V-Module meet European filtration standards?

Yes. The V-Module is engineered to meet and exceed EN 1822 standards (H13/H14 classification), which is the primary benchmark for HEPA filtration in European and Middle Eastern healthcare facilities.

2. How does the filter perform in the high-dust environments of the Middle East and Africa?

The V-Module features water-repellent nano-silver media and a high surface area V-bank design. This allows it to handle higher dust loading while maintaining a low pressure drop, extending the filter life even in regions prone to seasonal sandstorms or high particulate matter.

3. Can this filter eliminate airborne viruses and bacteria?

Absolutely. With a 99.99% efficiency rating and integrated Nano-Silver technology, the filter not only captures sub-micron pathogens (including viruses, bacteria, and mold spores) but also inhibits microbial growth on the filter media itself.

4. Is it suitable for “Bag-In-Bag-Out” (BIBO) safety protocols?

Yes. The Brain Series V-Module is specifically designed for Safe-Change canister housing and Bag-In-Bag-Out units. This ensures that maintenance staff in high-risk environments can replace filters without coming into contact with captured biohazards.

5. How does this filter contribute to “Green Hospital” initiatives?

By utilizing Equal Spacer Technology and mini-pleated media, the V-Module minimizes resistance to airflow. This reduces the energy load on HVAC fans, helping hospitals in the EU and beyond meet sustainability targets and reduce operational costs

6. Can the Absolute Brain Series V-Module handle the extreme heat of the Middle East?

Yes. These filters are rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 70°C. For specialized sterilization processes (like depyrogenation), we also offer high-temperature versions that can withstand even greater thermal stress.

7. Are custom sizes available for older European hospital renovations?

While comes in standard 610x610mm and 305x610mm modules, customized versions (including stainless steel frames) are available on request to fit legacy air handling units common in older European medical facilities.

8. Why is “Low Pressure Drop” important for hospital procurement?

Lower pressure drop means the HVAC fans do not have to work as hard to push air through the filter. For 24/7 hospital operations, this translates to significantly lower electricity bills and a smaller carbon footprint, aligning with EU energy regulations.

9. Is it possible Braine Series V model HEPA can customised size?

Absolutely. The Absolute Brain Series V-Module is designed with flexibility in mind to ensure a perfect fit for the diverse HVAC systems found in hospitals and clinics across the EMEA region.

While there are “standard” industry sizes (such as 610x610mm or 305x610mm), we understand that older hospital infrastructures in Europe or custom-built medical facilities in the Middle East often require unique dimensions

Customization Options for the Brain Series V-Module

Bespoke Dimensions: We can manufacture the V-Module in custom widths and heights to fit non-standard housing or legacy air handling units (AHUs).

Variable Depths: Standard depths are typically 292mm, but adjustments can be made depending on the specific airflow requirements and space constraints of your ducting.

Frame Material Selection: Depending on your environment (e.g., high humidity in coastal Africa or sterile chemical labs in Europe), you can choose from:

Galvanized Steel (Standard/Durable)

Anodized Aluminum (Lightweight/Corrosion-resistant)

Stainless Steel (304/316L) (Highest hygiene/Chemical resistance)

ABS Plastic (Incinerable/Lightweight)

Gasket & Flange Variations: Customization of the sealing edge (Single flange, Double flange, or No flange) and gasket material (Polyurethane, EPDM, or High-Heat Silicone) to ensure a 100% leak-proof installation.

Why Customize?

Custom-sized filters eliminate the need for expensive ductwork modifications. By providing a “drop-in” replacement that matches your exact specifications, you maintain the sterility-level air filtration and 99.99% efficiency without compromising the structural integrity of your existing ventilation system.

Why the Brain Series V-Module is Ideal for Containment?

1. Integration with BIBO (Bag-In-Bag-Out) Systems

For containment applications—such as BSL-3/BSL-4 laboratories or Isolation Wards—filter changes must be performed without exposing maintenance staff to the airstream. The V-Module is designed with.

Reinforced Frame Integrity: To withstand the pressure of gasket-seal or fluid-seal housings.

Rounded Edges: To prevent tearing the protective PVC bags used during the “Bag-In-Bag-Out” procedure.

2. Pathogen and Toxic Gas Capture

Containment isn’t just about dust; it’s about micro-pathogens.

• Viral/Bacterial Capture: The 99.99% efficiency at 0.3 microns ensures that even the smallest airborne droplets (nuclei) carrying viruses are trapped
• Nano-Silver Protection: The antimicrobial properties of the nano-silver media prevent “bio-nesting,” where captured bacteria might otherwise grow on the filter surface over time.

3. Resistance to High/Fluctuating Airflow

In containment zones, pressure differentials (negative pressure) must be strictly maintained. The V-Module’s Equal Spacer Technology ensures the filter media remains stable and doesn’t “flex” or fail under the fluctuating air pressures common in high-containment exhaust systems.

4. Leak-Proof Sealing

The use of antibacterial sealant around the entire media pack ensures there are no bypass paths. In a containment scenario, a leak of even is unacceptable; the Brain Series V-Module is individually scan-tested to guarantee a 100% leak-free seal.

FAQ for Containment Standards

Q: Can this filter be used in Negative Pressure Rooms?

A: Yes. It is the preferred choice for the exhaust side of negative pressure environments to ensure that all air leaving the contaminated zone is sterile.

Q: Is it resistant to decontamination gases like Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP)?

A: The micro-fiberglass media and thermoplastic spacers are highly resistant to the chemicals typically used for room sterilization in European and Middle Eastern hospitals, ensuring the filter does not degrade during cleaning cycles.

Q: Does it meet the ISO 14644 cleanroom standards?

A: Absolutely. It is designed to maintain ISO Class 5 environments and higher, which is the benchmark for high-containment sterility.
