In-line filter for epidural syringe tubing

Hello, our institution previously used a 0.22 micron in-line filter for epidural syringes. However, we are in the process of switching our tubing. The potential new tubing comes with a 1.2 micron filter.

We are trying to determine if this 1.2 micron filter would be appropriate for epidurals.

I would appreciate the group's input on what filter size do your institutions utilize for epidural syringes.

Thank you!
