1.1Introduction
BUFFALO FILTER® ViroVac 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 ViroVac 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 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 duringlter 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.
patented (U.S. Patent #5874052) design captures particulates and micro-organisms from .1 to .2
Systems preferentially removes toxic organic gases rather than water vapor and provides optimal odor removal.
