Medical Vacuum Filter- A sieve for contamination

All major hospitals these days use medical vacuum filters. They have a lot of other applications in the field of life sciences and health care units. The pressure differential is maintained in the vacuum filtration process across the medium of filters through the evacuation of air under the filter paper. A force is applied through the vacuum filtration process on the solution along with the one exerted through gravity, this speeds up the process of filtration. Centralized system Vacuum is used widely as a tool in surgery, anesthesia, and intensive care units. Mostly, wards and units in hospitals are connected at the wall creating vacuum pressure for aspiration. These outlets for vacuum in different rooms like the one patient or the surgery wards are well connected through a central vacuum system. These central vacuum systems are generally placed in the basements of the building. The whole setup comprises vacuum pumps, control, and a buffer. This pump could be 3 to 4 in the number to f
