The PureVac Turbo is ideal for physician’s offices or clinics where a smoke evacuation system is needed on occasion or where medical procedures may result in infectious materials, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV), being present in the electrosurgical or laser smoke plume. With a compact and lightweight tabletop design, it fits on most electrosurgical carts for easy portability. Featuring the PureVac ULPA Clear filter, the PureVac Turbo smoke evacuator allows for low cost and frequent filter replacement to reduce the possibility of infection transmission from a contaminated filter.
Results from numerous studies have demonstrated that when infectious tissue is treated with a laser or electrosurgical unit, infectious material is present in the electrosurgical and laser smoke plume. And consequently, it is also present in the smoke evacuator filtration system. While these studies were unable to demonstrate to what degree the papillomavirus was infectious, they did highlight the potential health hazard associated with inhalation of infectious material.present in smoke plume and in the smoke evacuation system.
With regular replacement of the smoke evacuation system’s ULPA as an item of critical importance to maintaining a safe health care environment, the Purevac Turbo smoke evacuator is the ideal solution.
