Buffalo Filter ViroSafe ViroVac Filter

The ViroSafe ViroVac Filter features a versatile 3-port system to ensure compatibility with various tubing and accessory setups for the ViroVac Smoke Evacuation System.The specific connection port sizes provided are:

• 1/4” (6.4 mm)
• 3/8” (9.5 mm)
• 7/8” (22 mm)

For enhanced safety, the unit also incorporates hidden ports designed to minimize the risk of cross-contamination for caregivers.

The Buffalo Filter ViroSafe ViroVac Filter is designed for an extended operational lifespan. It provides up to 35 hours of continuous plume evacuation time.

The Buffalo Filter ViroSafe ViroVac Filter ensures high levels of caregiver safety through its comprehensive four-stage filtration system and advanced design features:

• Superior Particulate Capture: The system uses an ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter which achieves an exceptional efficiency of 99.999% in capturing particulates and micro-organisms ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 microns found in surgical smoke.
• Toxic Gas and Odor Removal: A dedicated layer of high-grade virgin activated carbon is employed to preferentially adsorb harmful toxic organic gases and odors generated during tissue burning, protecting clinical staff from respiratory hazards.
• Infection Control Design: The filter housing incorporates hidden ports designed specifically to minimize the risk of cross-contamination among caregivers during filter handling and changes.
• Extended Use Life: Each filter unit provides reliable performance for up to 35 hours of plume evacuation time.

The Buffalo Filter ViroSafe ViroVac Filter is specifically designed for optimal performance and safety exclusively with the Buffalo Filter ViroVac Smoke Evacuation System. This ensures it functions effectively in capturing smoke plume and protecting healthcare professionals.

Yes, this Buffalo Filter ViroSafe ViroVac Filter is highly effective at removing toxic organic gases and odors generated during surgical procedures. This is a key part of its comprehensive 4-stage filtration system.

The removal process is driven by the activated carbon stage:

• It features the highest grade virgin activated carbon designed specifically to adsorb harmful odors and toxic organic gases resulting from burning tissues.
• This specialized carbon preferentially targets organic gases rather than water vapor, which ensures optimal odor control and maximizes safety for clinical staff.

The Buffalo Filter ViroSafe ViroVac Filter utilizes a powerful four-stage filtration system to ensure comprehensive purification of surgical smoke plumes, effectively capturing particulates, micro-organisms, toxic gases, and odors.

These stages are:

• Stage 1: Prefilter - Traps gross particulate matter and casual fluids.
• Stage 2: ULPA Grade Filter - This Ultra Low Penetration Air filter achieves an exceptional efficiency rate of 99.999% for capturing micro-organisms and particulates as small as 0.1 to 0.2 microns.
• Stage 3: Activated Carbon - Uses high-grade virgin activated carbon that is specially formulated to preferentially adsorb toxic organic gases and noxious odors, reducing interference from water vapor.
• Stage 4: Expanded Foam - Traps any fine activated carbon particles, preventing their migration.

The ViroSafe ViroVac Filter uses a specialized ULPA grade filter (Ultra Low Penetration Air) as part of its four-stage system. This filter achieves exceptionally high performance, capturing particulates and micro-organisms with 99.999% efficiency down to the size range of 0.1 to 0.2 microns. This superior capture rate is essential for effective surgical smoke plume management and infection control.

Yes, this filter utilizes the highest grade virgin activated carbon as the third stage of its comprehensive four-stage filtration system. This specialized component is crucial for removing and adsorbing the odors and toxic gases produced by burning tissues during surgical procedures, significantly reducing potential health hazards.

The Buffalo Filter ViroSafe ViroVac Filter is available in multiple convenient package quantities to meet various stocking needs for the ViroVac Smoke Evacuation System:

• Single Filter Unit (SKU: BFF-VS353)
• Case of 2 Filters (SKU: BFF-VS35302)
• Case of 4 Filters (SKU: BFF-VS35304)

Selecting a case quantity provides an efficient way to maintain inventory of this factory-new, critical consumable.

The expanded foam layer constitutes the fourth and final stage of the ViroSafe ViroVac filter system.

Its crucial purpose is to ensure quality control and safety by acting as a mechanical barrier:

• It traps activated carbon fines, which are tiny particles generated by the high-grade virgin activated carbon filter (stage three).
• This action prevents the migration of these fine carbon particles out of the filter structure, maintaining the integrity of the evacuation process.
