DESCRIPTION / INTRODUCTION: SECTION 1.0
1.1 Introduction
The Surgical Smoke Evacuator is intended to evacuate and filter surgical smoke and aerosols created
by the interface of surgical tools with tissue (examples: lasers, electrosurgery systems, and ultrasonic
devices).
The Surgical Smoke Evacuator has been designed to provide appropriate suctioning using one of
three motor speeds to manage surgical smoke. The ultra-quiet motor is used to draw the surgical
smoke from the surgical site through the vacuum tubing and into the Filter where the surgical smoke is
processed through four (4) stages of filtration. A single, completely enclosed, disposable Filter is used
to simplify installation and removal during Filter changes to protect healthcare personnel from potential
contamination during Filter changes.
1. The first stage filtration utilizes a pre-filter to trap and remove gross particulate and casual fluid.
2. The second stage filtration is an ULPA grade (Ultra Low Penetration Air) Filter with a high-tech
patented design that captures particulates and micro-organisms from .1 to .2 microns at 99.999%
efficiency.
3. The third stage filtration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon. The activated carbon is
known to remove toxic organic gases and may provide optimal odor removal.
4. The fourth stage filtration is a woven fiberglass filtration media used to reduce the amount of
activated carbon fines from migrating out of the filters.
