Bovie Smoke Evacuator Filter 35 Hr (SE02 Model)

The Bovie SF35 filter is specifically engineered as a direct replacement component only for the Bovie Smoke Shark II Smoke Evacuator (Model #SE02).

Its sophisticated four-stage filtration mechanism and connection design are optimized for use exclusively with the Smoke Shark II system.

The Bovie SF35 utilizes an Advanced Four-Stage Filtration system designed for maximum purification of surgical smoke. The filter assembly is completely enclosed, ensuring personnel safety by preventing contamination exposure during filter replacement.

These stages work synergistically:

• 1. Prefilter: Traps gross particulate matter and casual fluids.
• 2. ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) Filter: This critical stage achieves a 99.999% efficiency in capturing particulates and micro-organisms, even those as small as 0.1 to 0.2 microns.
• 3. Virgin Activated Carbon: Uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon to effectively absorb odors and chemically hazardous volatile organic gases.
• 4. Expanded Foam: Functions as a final layer to securely trap any activated carbon fines.

The maximum 35-hour filter life for the SF35 replacement cartridge is achieved when the Bovie Smoke Shark II Smoke Evacuator (#SE02) is consistently operated at its Low flow setting.

This extended longevity provides substantial value, resulting in up to a 38% reduction in recurring procedure costs compared to previous filter models.

Filter life varies based on the operational setting:

Yes, the Bovie SF35 filter uses an advanced four-stage filtration system specifically engineered to remove toxic gases and odors from surgical smoke.

Gas and odor removal is primarily handled by the critical third and fourth stages:

• Stage 3: Highest Grade Virgin Activated Carbon: This specialized material targets and absorbs hazardous volatile organic gases and odors generated during tissue ablation, maximizing purification efficiency.
• Stage 4: Expanded Foam: This final layer traps any fine activated carbon particles, ensuring the integrity of the filtration system and preventing migration.

This comprehensive design is essential for protecting operating room personnel from potential health hazards associated with prolonged smoke exposure.

Yes, the Bovie Smoke Evacuator Filter 35 Hr features a completely enclosed filter housing. This design is specifically engineered to:

• Protect healthcare personnel from contamination during filter changes.
• Ensure a sterile and safe replacement process.

The filter incorporates a ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter as its second stage, which is highly effective:

• It captures particulates, including micro-organisms, down to 0.1–0.2 microns.
• It boasts an exceptional 99.999% capture efficiency.

Yes, the filter is designed with a versatile interface featuring three integrated ports to support common surgical tubing dimensions: 1/4” (6.4mm), 3/8” (9.5mm), and 7/8” (22mm). This allows for seamless connection to various equipment configurations.

The operational lifespan of the Bovie SF35 filter is dependent on the flow setting used with the Bovie Smoke Shark II Smoke Evacuator (#SE02).

The maximum performance life is achieved at the lowest setting:

• Low Setting (Maximum Life): Up to 35 hours.
• Medium Setting: Up to 24 hours.
• High Setting: Up to 18 hours.

This extended 35-hour life offers a potential 38% reduction in procedure cost compared to previous filter models.

This filter, the Bovie SF35 Extended-Life Filter, is specifically designed as a direct replacement component for the Bovie Smoke Shark II Smoke Evacuator (Model #SE02).
