Study Notes
Antifoam A
- Silicon oil is the component that significantly enhances the effectiveness of Antifoam A in collapsing bubbles.
- Antifoam A is the most well-known type of pharmaceutical grade antifoam used for extracorporeal devices.
Mechanism of Antifoam A
- Antifoam A collapses bubbles through a mechanism where silicon oil spreads on the surface of the bubble, reducing its surface tension, and hydrophobic silica gel particles break the bubble by absorbing the surfactant.
Filters
- Mesh filters are typically made of a woven polyester mesh and are pleated to allow for a larger surface area in a confined space.
- Screen filters are designed to remove debris and gross air.
- Depth filters are designed to create a tortuous path between fibers and retain particles mechanically.
Filter Pore Sizes
- Arterial line filters have a pore size range of 20-40 μm.
- Gas line filters have a pore size range of 10-30 μm.
Antifoaming Agents
- Antifoam A is the most widely used antifoaming agent in extracorporeal devices.
- Antifoam B is less expensive and widely used in extracorporeal devices.
Composition of Foam A
- Foam A, a pharmaceutical grade antifoam, contains silicon oil and hydrophobic silica gel particles.
Surface Treatment of Hydrophobic Silica Gel Particles
- Hydrophobic silica gel particles in Antifoam A are treated with a hydrophobic surface.
Potential Component in Antifoam A
- Heavy metals may be present in Antifoam A.
