EXPERIENCE THE most advanced Filtration Efficiency Analyzer

M19 Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (FEA-50) for pharmaceutical — AI-based, ultra-high-precision testing. Standards: EN 1822, ISO 29463.

Model: FEA-50 · Industry: Pharma

Technology principle

The M19 Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (FEA-50) evaluates how effectively HEPA and cleanroom filter media capture and retain particulate matter, the core determinant of clean-environment integrity in pharmaceutical manufacturing. An automated aerosol control system challenges one side of the media with mono- or poly-dispersed particles while synchronised upstream and downstream particle counters, together with differential-pressure measurement, resolve efficiency across the penetrating particle size range. Purpose-built for pharma air-quality validation, the FEA-50 simulates in-use conditions to confirm that filtration systems meet EN 1822 / ISO 29463 (HEPA/ULPA) and ISO 14644 cleanroom classifications. Real-time feedback supports both media development and routine QA/QC, so manufacturers can demonstrate consistent air-quality performance for aseptic and sterile production areas.

Applications

  • HEPA / ULPA filters
  • Cleanroom terminal filters
  • Laminar-flow and LAF hood media
  • HVAC and AHU filter banks
  • Bag and pocket filters
  • Face-mask and respirator media

Key capabilities

  • Lightweight, compact and ergonomically engineered, the M19 Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (FEA-50) pairs a 15" capacitive touchscreen with enhanced pressure- and flow-control hardware, so operators run a full pharmaceutical test sequence with minimal training and markedly shorter cycle times. Available in aluminum or stainless-steel variants, it ships with real-time remote support, USB connectivity and remote-control automation. Domestic manufacturing in India and the USA keeps maintenance cost and downtime low, and a 2-year extended warranty is available.
  • Modern, low-training user interface
  • Lightweight and portable chassis
  • IP65 rated · GAMP 5 compliant
  • Three secure user levels — Operator, Supervisor and Administrator
  • Versatile connectivity — USB, Ethernet and Wireless LAN
  • Flexible reporting — built-in thermal printer or network / PDF / CSV export

Frequently asked questions

What can the FEA-50 measure for pharmaceutical filters?

The FEA-50 quantifies particulate filtration efficiency of pharma air-filter media, including: Fractional and overall capture efficiency across particle sizes Most Penetrating Particle Size (MPPS) behavior for HEPA/ULPA Differential pressure (resistance) at rated flow Efficiency against mono- and poly-dispersed challenge aerosols

How does it outperform manual efficiency testing?

Automated aerosol generation, synchronised upstream/downstream counting and integrated differential-pressure logging remove operator variability, shorten test time and produce validation-ready reports — a step change over manual scan-and-count methods.

How does the aerosol control system improve accuracy?

A closed-loop aerosol control system: Delivers a stable, characterized challenge concentration Supports mono- or poly-dispersed particles for standard-specific tests Correlates counts with differential pressure for true efficiency Minimises drift for reproducible EN 1822 / ISO 29463 results

What are the advantages of domestic manufacturing?

Made-in-India/USA build delivers: Faster service response and local support Reduced lead times and spare-parts availability Lower shipping and import cost 2-year warranty with on-site support

Can it be integrated into existing pharma QA workflows?

Yes — USB, Ethernet and SCADA/PLC connectivity, PDF/CSV reporting and 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records let the FEA-50 slot into cleanroom qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), routine media QC and batch-release documentation.

How does it support global regulatory compliance?

Results align with EN 1822, ISO 29463, ISO 16890 and ISO 14644, and the 21 CFR Part 11-ready software (electronic signatures, tamper-proof audit trails, validation documentation) keeps cleanroom filtration data audit-ready for US FDA, EU GMP and WHO GMP inspections.
