Frequently asked questions
Does it offer high-efficiency filtration?
Yes, the Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter provides exceptional filtration efficiency for surgical smoke evacuation:
- Particle Efficiency: It achieves 99.995% efficiency against particles as small as 0.1 micron due to its Ultra Low Penetration Air (ULPA) filter, making it highly effective at trapping viral contaminants and fine particulates.
- Multistage System: The disposable unit uses a multistage system, including a prefilter, the high-performance ULPA filter, and an integrated activated carbon layer for blended odor control and toxic gas removal.
- Safety Feature: It also includes a built-in 50cc liquid trap to manage moisture and prevent internal system contamination.
This filter is VLSI grade 2 and is highly recommended for laser and electrosurgical procedures, especially those involving infectious tissue.
Is the ULPA-Clear Filter compatible with other smoke evacuators?
The Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter is explicitly designed for use with the PureVac Turbo Smoke Evacuator.
While the filter features a universal 7/8” port that interfaces with standard surgical tubing (adapters are available for smaller lines like 1/4”), optimal performance and high-efficiency filtration (99.995% down to 0.1 micron) are guaranteed only when used with the dedicated PureVac Turbo system.
Is this filter suitable for procedures involving infectious tissue?
The Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter is particularly useful in procedures where infectious tissue, such as HPV, may be present. Its high filtration efficiency minimizes the risk of airborne transmission.
How does this filter help reduce infection risks?
The filter’s affordable, single-use design allows for immediate replacement after each procedure, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and infection transmission in healthcare settings.
Does this filter have a liquid trap?
Yes, the Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter features a built-in 50cc liquid trap for added convenience and safety during procedures. This helps manage fluids effectively.
What is the maximum filter life?
The Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter is designed as a disposable, single-use cartridge. The maximum filter life is specified as up to 1 hour of continuous operation. This ensures optimal filtration efficiency (99.995% down to 0.1 micron) and allows for immediate replacement to eliminate the possibility of infection transmission between procedures.
How small are the particles this filter removes?
The Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter provides exceptional filtration efficiency, capturing 99.995% of particles down to 0.1 micron in size. This high level of performance is crucial for effectively removing fine particulates and potential viral contaminants from surgical smoke and laser plumes.
Does it offer high-efficiency multistage filtration?
Yes, the Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter utilizes a comprehensive multistage disposable system for superior air quality control during procedures. This advanced system includes:
- Prefilter: Captures initial, larger particulate matter.
- ULPA Filter: Provides exceptional filtration efficiency, removing 99.995% of particles down to 0.1 micron, making it highly effective against viral material and fine particulates.
- Activated Carbon: An integrated layer that ensures blended odor control by neutralizing toxic gases and noxious odors.
Additionally, the unit features a built-in 50cc liquid trap to manage moisture and protect the PureVac Turbo Smoke Evacuator system from contamination.
What size is the port on the Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter?
The port size is 7/8”, which accommodates standard tubing used in smoke evacuation systems. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment.
Does the filter use activated carbon for odor control?
Yes, the Surgimedics PureVac ULPA-Clear Filter is designed with integrated odor management. It includes an activated carbon layer within its multistage filtration system, which provides blended odor control. This ensures the effective capture and removal of toxic gases and noxious odors generated by surgical smoke and laser plumes.
