PS800 A Smoke Evacuator for medical doctor

SPECIFICATION

Introduction

The Smoke Evacuation System are designed to remove smoke and noxious odors produced by surgical smoke during laser and electrosurgical procedures.

The Smoke Evacuation Systems have been designed with a high suction, high flow rate centrifugal action pump. 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 by a series of filters. A single disposable filter is used to simplify the installation and removal during filter changes. The filter is completely enclosed to protect the healthcare personnel from potential contamination during filter changes. One filter contains four different stages within to decontaminate the smoke plume.

The first stage filtration is a prefilter whose function is to trap and remove gross particulate and casual find.

The second stage filtration is a VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) grade ULPA(Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter whose high-tech patented (U. S. Patent#5874052) design captures particulates and micro-organisms down to 0.012um ant an efficiency of 99.99995%. Each VLSI grade ULPA filter is pretested and certified before use.

The third stage filtration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon, especially designed for for the removal and adsorption of odors and toxic gases produced by burning tissues. These harmful gases may constitute a health hazard to healthcare professionals who are subjected to prolonged exposure. The activated carbon used in the Smoke Evacuation Systems preferentially removes toxic organic gases rather than water vapor and provides optimal odor removal.

The fourth stage filtration is an expanded foam and paper media used to trap activated carbon fines from migrating out of the filter. The first, second and fourth stages of the filter have been impregnated with a chemical agent. The chemical agent has been applied with a patented process that prevents the agent from being washed or blown off the filter media.

The electronic controls on the face panel of the smoke evacuation system has been designed “used friendly” and facilitate unit set up and operation. Please refer to Section 2.0 for Operation Instructions.
