Surgimedics In-Line XL Plume Wall Smoke Removal Filter (10/Box)

Yes, the Surgimedics In-Line XL filter is specifically designed for seamless integration with existing hospital wall suction systems. It offers compatibility with the two most common standard tubing sizes:

• 1/4 inch hospital tubing
• 3/8 inch hospital tubing

To ensure optimal performance and safety, the filter features ridged ports that are engineered to provide a secure and air-tight connection in the suction line. This secure fit is crucial for maximizing the high filtration efficiency (99.97% down to 0.3 microns) and protecting the building’s internal suction piping infrastructure from surgical smoke contamination.

Each box of Surgimedics In-Line XL Plume Wall Smoke Removal Filters contains 10 filters.

No, the Surgimedics In-Line XL Plume Wall Smoke Removal Filter is non-sterile.

Yes, this in-line filter is specifically designed to protect your existing hospital wall suction infrastructure from harmful surgical smoke byproducts. It is intended for daily use.

Key Protective Functions

• Prevents Corrosion: The filter intercepts corrosive chemicals, vapors, and particulate matter, protecting the suction pipes from damage and degradation.
• Ensures Building Safety: It prevents contaminants from entering and spreading within the building’s central vacuum system.
• High Efficiency: It provides exceptional protection with 99.97% filtration efficiency for particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Note on Placement: If fluids are being suctioned during the procedure, you must place the filter between the suction canister and the wall connection to maintain optimal filtration effectiveness.

The Surgimedics In-Line XL Plume Wall Smoke Removal Filter provides high-efficiency filtration, capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

This robust filtration capability offers critical dual protection when used within existing hospital wall suction systems:

• Staff Safety: It significantly reduces exposure to toxic surgical smoke components, helping to minimize health risks such as respiratory infections and eye irritation.
• System Protection: It protects the hospital infrastructure by preventing suction pipe corrosion and stopping contamination from spreading throughout the building’s central vacuum system.

Yes, the Surgimedics In-Line XL Filter is designed to provide crucial system protection for your hospital’s infrastructure by filtering out harmful components of surgical smoke. Its primary protective functions include:

• Preventing Corrosion and Contamination: The filter actively captures corrosive chemicals, vapors, and particulate matter generated during electrosurgical or laser procedures, protecting the internal suction pipes and building infrastructure from damage.
• High-Efficiency Filtration: It achieves 99.97% efficiency in capturing particles down to 0.3 microns, ensuring contaminants do not enter the wall suction system.

Yes, the Surgimedics In-Line XL filter provides high-efficiency filtration vital for both staff safety and system protection when using wall suction for surgical smoke evacuation.

Key details include:

• Efficiency: It is 99.97% efficient at capturing airborne particulates down to 0.3 microns.
• Protection: It reduces staff exposure to toxic surgical byproducts and prevents surgical smoke components from contaminating and corroding hospital wall suction pipes and infrastructure.
• Compatibility: The filter uses ridged ports to ensure a secure, airtight connection with standard 1/4” or 3/8” hospital suction tubing.
• Use Cycle: It is designed for daily use during procedures.

The Surgimedics In-Line XL filter is designed for integration into existing hospital wall suction systems to protect the piping infrastructure and minimize staff exposure to surgical smoke.

Proper placement is vital to ensure maximum system protection and maintain the filter’s 99.97% filtration efficiency.

Key placement guidelines:

• System Location: Install the filter in-line within the wall suction system.
• Fluid Suction: If the procedure involves suctioning fluids, the filter must be placed between the suction canister and the wall connection. This prevents saturation of the filter media.
• Connection: Use the ridged ports to achieve a secure, airtight connection with your standard hospital tubing (compatible with both 1/4” and 3/8” sizes).
• Flow Direction: Always install the filter ensuring the air flows in the direction indicated by the arrow on the housing, pointing towards the wall connection.

Yes, the Surgimedics In-Line XL Plume Wall Smoke Removal Filter is specifically designed for daily use and replacement within hospital wall suction systems.

Replacing the filter daily ensures continuous, high-level filtration performance and protects your facility’s infrastructure. Key details regarding its usage:

• Recommended Replacement: It is intended to be replaced at least once per day for optimal efficiency.
• High Filtration: The filter maintains a high capture rate of 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, effectively mitigating operator exposure to hazardous surgical smoke.
• Protects Infrastructure: Its in-line placement prevents surgical smoke and corrosive contaminants from damaging and corroding the hospital’s internal wall suction piping.
• Packaging: The filters are supplied in convenient boxes of 10 units to support daily replacement protocols.

The existing hospital wall suction system, when integrated with this filter, typically provides an airflow of approximately 2 cubic feet per minute (cfm).

This is suitable for filtering small amounts of surgical smoke generated during electrosurgical or laser procedures. For higher-volume smoke evacuation, note that a dedicated smoke evacuator typically offers a significantly higher airflow (35–50 cfm).
