1.1 Introduction
BUFFALO FILTER® Turbo Auto-Sense™ Smoke Evacuation Systems are intended to evacuate and lter
surgical smoke plume and aerosols created by the interface surgical tools with tissue, examples being
lasers, electrosurgery systems, and ultrasonic devices.
e Turbo Auto-Sense™ Smoke Evacuation Systems have been designed with a high suction, high ow
rate centrifugal action pump. e ultra-quiet motor is used to draw the surgical smoke from the surgical
site through the vacuum tubing and into the ViroSafe® lter where the surgical smoke is processed
by a series of lters. A single disposable lter is used to simplify the installation and removal during
lter changes. e lter is completely enclosed to protect the healthcare personnel from potential
contamination during lter changes. One Bualo Filter ViroSafe® lter contains four dierent stages
within to capture the smoke plume.
e rst stage ltration is a prelter whose function is to trap and remove gross particulate and casual
uid.
e second stage ltration is ULPA grade (Ultra Low Penetration Air) lter whose high-tech patented
(U.S. Patent #5874052) design captures particulates and micro-organisms from .1 to .2 microns at an
eciency of 99.999%.
e third stage ltration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon, especially designed for Bualo
Filter for the removal and adsorption of odors and toxic gases produced by burning tissues. ese
harmful gases may constitute a health hazard to healthcare professionals who are subjected to prolonged
exposure. e activated carbon used in the Turbo Auto-Sense™ Smoke Evacuation Systems preferentially
removes toxic organic gases rather than water vapor and provides optimal odor removal.
e fourth stage ltration is an expanded foam used to trap activated carbon nes from migrating out of
the lter.
e electronic controls on the face panel of the Turbo Auto-Sense™ Smoke Evacuation System has been
designed “user friendly” and facilitate unit set up and operation. Please refer to Section 2.0 for Operating
Instructions.
1.2 Inspection
e Turbo Auto-Sense™ Smoke Evacuator has been thoroughly tested and inspected before shipment
from the factory. Please check the unit before using it to insure that no damage has occurred in transit.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should
be used no closer to any part of the Surgical Smoke Evacuator
including cables, than the recommended separation distance
calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of
the transmitter.

Field strength from xed RF transmitters, as determined
by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency range.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: ese guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected by absorption and
reection from structure, objects and people.
aField strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the Surgical Smoke Evacuator is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the Surgical Smoke Evacuator should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Surgical
Smoke Evacuator.
bOver the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
