RE: Washing machine filters for parenteral products

Dear Francisco,
No bibliography to offer, but in my experience the following filters are
used:

Drying air:	0.2 micron
Fresh WFI:	none
Recycled WFI:	10 micron.

The filter on the Recycled water is only there to trap particulates.  If you
fit a microbial filter, there is a danger that you'll collect a colony on
the filter which could grow through and cause contamination problems.  For
the same reason there should be no point of use filters on a WFI loop.

Best regards,
