Tech/Engineering - Safety / mask - filters
German term or phrase: Endstufe
XXX ist eine aus 100% synthetischem Material hergestellte Maske. Sie besteht aus mehreren Materialschichten, welche einen Vorfilter und eine hocheffiziente ***Endstufe*** zur Abscheidung der Partikeln bilden.

This text is about masks and filters. I can´t think how to translate Endstufe in this context. Final stage sounds wrong to me. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
