Surgimedics Surgifresh Protection Plus ULPA Filter

The Surgimedics Surgifresh Protection Plus ULPA Filter (#901307) is designed for use in the Surgifresh Turbo Smoke Evacuation System. The purpose of the VLSI grade 2 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 procedures that create offensive odor and gases, such as the odor created during laser hair removal. The ULPA Protection-Plus filter contains 25% more specialty blended, activated carbon for improved odor removal.

Plus Filters eliminate smell better than the standard filters, and are thus generally used in private practices, where smells matter more than a big hospital.

With regular replacement of a pre-filter, the ULPA Protection-Plus Filter can last up to 90 days before needing to be changed. When to change the ULPA filter in the smoke evacuator is always dependent on the number of procedures and the amount of surgical smoke plume created, since replacement 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.
