Abstract
An in-line set filter for parenteral solution sets and the like which comprises a tubular housing having first and second ends. A bundle of filter tubes is positioned within the housing, the filter tubes preferably being folded so that all ends of the filter tubes occupy a single zone in communication with the first housing end. The zone is filled with potting compound with the filter tube ends communicating through the potting compound and open to the exterior. A flow access port is laterally positioned in a side wall between the second end and the potting compound but closer to the potting compound. The second end defines an open aperture occluded by a porous hydrophobic filter to permit venting while preventing loss of aqueous liquid.
