Bovie Smoke Evacuator Filter 18 Hr (SE01 Model)

The Bovie SF18 filter utilizes a highly effective, three-stage decontamination process to thoroughly clean the air, providing up to 18 hours of operational life.

This advanced system includes:

• Stage 1: Pre-filter - Traps gross particulate matter and incidental fluids, protecting the subsequent layers.
• Stage 2: Activated Carbon - Utilizes the highest grade virgin activated carbon to preferentially absorb odors and toxic organic gases produced during tissue burning.
• Stage 3: ULPA Filter - The final stage employs a certified VLSI grade ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter, which captures particulates and micro-organisms as small as 0.1 to 0.2 µm with exceptional 99.999% efficiency.

For staff safety, the filter is designed as a single, fully enclosed disposable unit to simplify installation and minimize exposure risk during changeover.

Yes, the Bovie Smoke Evacuator Filter 18 Hr (SF18) is designed exclusively for use with the 1st generation Smoke Shark Smoke Evacuator (Model #SE01). Utilizing this specific filter ensures optimal performance and safety for that smoke evacuation system. It provides up to 18 hours of operational lifespan.

No, installation is designed for simplicity. The SF18 is a single, self-contained disposable unit, allowing for quick and easy removal and replacement by clinical staff, minimizing downtime between procedures.

Yes, the filter features a VLSI-grade ULPA stage specifically tested to capture particulates and micro-organisms as small as 0.1 to 0.2 µm with an impressive 99.999% efficiency rate.

The Bovie SF18 filter is designed for extended performance and safe, efficient use with the 1st generation Smoke Shark Smoke Evacuator (Model #SE01).

It provides an operational lifespan of up to 18 hours of continuous use, reducing the required frequency of filter changeovers.

The Bovie SF18 filter uses an advanced, fully-enclosed, three-stage system to ensure comprehensive decontamination of surgical smoke plumes. The disposable unit includes:

• Stage 1: Pre-filter
  • Traps and removes gross particulate matter and incidental fluids.
• Stage 2: High-Grade Activated Carbon
  • Features the highest grade virgin activated carbon, specifically designed to preferentially absorb toxic organic gases and noxious odors generated during tissue burning.
• Stage 3: VLSI Grade ULPA Filter
  • This final stage employs a certified VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) grade ULPA filter.
  • It provides exceptional capture efficiency of 99.999% for particulates and micro-organisms down to 0.1 to 0.2 µm.

Yes, this disposable filter is highly effective at removing toxic gases and odors as part of its three-stage decontamination process. The specialized second stage is dedicated to chemical filtration:

• It utilizes the highest grade virgin activated carbon.
• This high-grade carbon is specifically designed to absorb and neutralize noxious odors and toxic organic gases generated during tissue burning.
• The system is calibrated to preferentially remove toxic organic gases over water vapor, ensuring robust protection for healthcare personnel.

Yes, the filter includes a pre-filter as its first stage, specifically designed to trap and remove gross particulates and casual fluid before the finer filtration stages.

The single, disposable design of the Bovie Smoke Evacuator Filter significantly enhances safety by simplifying installation and removal. Its completely enclosed structure protects healthcare personnel from potential contamination during filter changes.

The filter’s third and final stage employs a high-performance, VLSI grade ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter designed for maximum decontamination effectiveness. This ensures a safe operational environment.

This filtration guarantees exceptional capture capabilities:

• Efficiency: The ULPA filter is independently certified to provide a 99.999% capture efficiency.
• Particulate Size: It effectively captures particulates and micro-organisms down to the incredibly small size range of 0.1 to 0.2 µm (micrometers).

For quality assurance, every individual ULPA filter element used in this disposable unit is pre-tested and certified.
