The Filter Membrane Housing (Large + Small) (JT-043) is molded from ABS, chosen for the part's connection and fluid-path requirements. The material supports the sterilization and compatibility needs of IV infusion sets and fluid-transfer lines. Custom material and color are available from Baixin Bio.
Definition
The term filter membrane housing (large + small) refers to a precision component within IV infusion sets and fluid-transfer lines. It defines how a fluid line connects, branches, seals or regulates, and it is molded to tight tolerances so the interface performs the same way across an entire production lot.
The component is small, but it carries real responsibility: a poor seal or an out-of-tolerance dimension can compromise an entire single-use assembly, which is why medical molders control material, tooling and process tightly.
It helps to picture where the part sits. A finished single-use device — an IV set, a transfer line, a dialysis circuit — is an assembly of molded plastic pieces joined into one fluid path. Each piece has a narrow job, and the value of standardization is that pieces from a catalog snap together predictably, so an assembler can design around known interfaces instead of bespoke fittings.
About This Component
The Filter Membrane Housing (Large + Small) is supplied as a single-use molded part for IV infusion sets and fluid-transfer lines. Its interface follows standard conventions so it mates predictably with compatible components, and it is produced in ABS by default, with other medical-grade resins available on request.
Like all Baixin Bio components, it can be customized for material, color, dimensions, packaging and assembly. For a precise specification — exact dimensions, tolerances, sterilization validation, packaging counts and minimum order quantity — request a drawing and samples through the inquiry form.
Key Advantages
For device assemblers specifying filter membrane housing (large + small), the benefits that matter most are reliability and repeatability:
- Smooth fluid-contact surfaces for reliable connection
- Available in multiple materials and colors
- Supports OEM and ODM customization of dimensions and packaging
- High-volume manufacturing with stable quality
- Compatibility with common sterilization methods
None of these advantages matter in isolation; their value is cumulative. A part that seals well but drifts dimensionally, or one that is consistent but slow to supply, fails the assembler. The point is to get all of them at once, reliably, lot after lot.
Common Applications
Typical applications for filter membrane housing (large + small) span the disposable device landscape:
- Syringe and pump connections
- IV infusion sets
- Blood and fluid transfer lines
- Hemodialysis circuits
The common thread is that every one of these settings needs junctions it can trust. A standardized, single-use component delivers that trust at scale: the same interface, the same seal and the same material behavior across an entire production lot, so the clinical team and the device maker are not relying on a one-off fitting at a critical point in the line.
How to Specify and Choose
Specifying the right part is mostly about matching a handful of variables to your assembly:
- The fluid and its chemical compatibility with the candidate resin
- The inner and outer diameters of the tubing the part bonds to
- The sterilization method the finished device will undergo
- Whether the part is single-use or intended for limited reuse
- Color coding or opacity requirements for the assembly
With those answers in hand, a supplier can confirm a standard part or scope a custom one without back-and-forth. Sharing a drawing or a physical sample removes the remaining ambiguity.
Industry Standards
Two standards questions dominate this category: connection geometry and sterilization. Connection geometry is increasingly defined by the ISO 80369 series, which separates applications so incompatible lines cannot mate; sterilization is handled by validated EO, gamma or steam autoclave processes matched to the resin and the device.
For ABS components, the practical sterilization options are EO and gamma; the choice is confirmed against the finished device and its validated process.
The reason the standards landscape moved toward ISO 80369 is patient safety: when every line used the same luer taper, it was physically possible to connect, say, an enteral line to an intravenous one. The newer series give different applications deliberately incompatible geometries so a dangerous misconnection cannot be made by accident. For a component maker, that means confirming which series an application requires before specifying a part.
