We understand this is in accordance with standard guidelines from the Royal College of Nursing and should not result in any problems during administration.
If users are concerned about filter selection or do not have local supplies available they should contact B.Braun Customer Services on 0114 225 9000 for advice. We understand they a reasonable number of filters in stock which they will issue without charge where there is a genuine need. They expect further filters to be in stock next week but recipients are requested to use this service sparingly.

We expect to issue further advice on this issue early in 2012 when supplies of unaffected stock, not needing filtration, are available in sufficient quantities.
