Surgimedics’ ULPA Smoke Filter is designed for use in the Surgifresh Turbo smoke evacuation system. The purpose of the ULPA filter is to remove particulate, toxic gases and odor from laser plume or surgical smoke. While suitable for use in both laser and electrosurgical procedures, it is especially recommended for surgical procedures since the smoke plume created in this procedure type typically contains more particulate matter. The ULPA Smoke Filter contains 25% more ULPA filtration media for improved filter life.
With regular replacement of the pre-filter, the ULPA Smoke Filter can last up to 90 days before needing changed. When to change the ULPA filter in the smoke evacuator unit is always dependent of the number of procedures and the amount of surgical smoke created since replacement of the ULPA filter in Surgimedics’ smoke evacuator is not time based. Usually when a lingering odor is noticed or the suction pressure has decreased, the filter needs to be changed. All Surgimedics smoke evacuation systems are provided with a filter test mode to monitor the useful life of the ULPA filter.
