1.1 Introduction
CONMED ClearView™ 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 ClearView™ Smoke Evacuation Systems have been designed with a high suction, high ow
rate vacuum motor. e ultra-quiet motor is used to draw the surgical smoke from the surgical
site through the vacuum tubing and into the 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 ClearView™ lter contains four dierent stages within
to capture the smoke plume.
e rst stage ltration is a prelter 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 eciency of 99.999%.
e third stage ltration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon, especially designed for
CONMED 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 ClearView™ 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 ClearView™ 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 ClearView™ Smoke Evacuation System 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. If damage is evident, please contact CONMED Customer Service at (800)
