System Descriptio
Section 1.0
1.1 Introduction
The Dell PlumeSafe® Smoke Evacuation Systems is designed to remove smoke and noxious odors produced
by surgical ablation during laser procedures.
The Dell PlumeSafe Smoke Evacuation Systems have been designed with a precision 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 ViroSafe filter where the surgical smoke is processed by a series of three different filter
stages. 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.
The first stage of filtration is a prefilter whose function is to trap and remove gross particulate and casual
fluid.
The second stage of filtration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon, especially designed for Buffalo
Filter 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 Dell PlumeSafe Smoke Evacuation Systems preferentially removes toxic
organic gases rather than water vapor and provides optimal odor removal.
The third stage of filtration is a ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter whose high-tech patented
design captures particulates and micro-organisms down to 0.12 µm at an efficiency of 99.99995%. Each.
ULPA filter is certified before use.
The electronic controls on the face panel of the Dell PlumeSafe smoke evacuation system is designed to be
“user friendly” and facilitate easy unit set up and operation. Please refer to Section 2.0 for Operating
Instructions.
