Frequently asked questions
How many prefilters are included in each box?
Each box of Surgimedics Surgifresh Smoke Prefilters contains 30 individual prefilters.
Is the Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter for single use?
The Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter is recommended for single use to ensure optimal performance and protection for your primary ULPA filter.
Does this prefilter have broad compatibility?
Yes, the Surgimedics Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter offers broad compatibility across various surgical smoke evacuation systems, maximizing its utility in diverse clinical settings.
This prefilter functions as the essential first filtration stage, capturing particulate matter to protect and extend the useful life of the primary ULPA filter.
Key Compatibility Details
- SurgiFresh Turbo System: It integrates directly with the SurgiFresh Turbo, used alongside the primary ULPA Smoke Filter (#901300-000).
- Other Brands: It is designed as a suitable replacement component for specific systems from other manufacturers, including:
- CooperSurgical
- Niche Medical (replaces NSPF030)
- Valleylab (compatible with the E3625 OptiMumm ULPA Filter, OptiMumm E3600 System, and AirForce System)
Is the prefilter part of a two-stage system?
Yes, the Surgimedics Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter is specifically designed to function as the critical first stage of a two-stage filtration process for surgical smoke evacuation. By handling the initial particulate load, it ensures the optimum performance and significantly extends the useful life of the downstream, more expensive primary ULPA filter.
Key Filtration Capabilities:
- Two-Stage Protection: It works sequentially with the primary ULPA filter (such as the #901300-000 used in the SurgiFresh Turbo system) to efficiently remove particulates, odors, and gases.
- High Particle Removal: This prefilter captures particulate matter, removing particles down to 0.3 microns.
- Replacement Indicator: The filter media darkens (showing dark brown or black sediment) when saturated, providing a clear visual cue that replacement is required.
Is the prefilter made in the USA?
Yes, the Surgimedics Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter is made in the USA.
When should I replace the Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter?
The prefilter features a transparent housing designed for easy monitoring. You should replace the unit when you observe dark brown or black sediment accumulating on the filter media, which indicates that it has reached capacity.
Can these be swapped during a surgery?
Yes, these prefilters are engineered for quick and simple replacement. The design allows them to be swapped out efficiently, even during an active surgical procedure, to ensure continuous smoke evacuation without significant downtime.
Does this prefilter maximize ULPA filter life?
Yes, the Surgimedics Surgifresh Prefilter is specifically designed to act as the essential first stage of filtration, which significantly extends the functional life and optimizes the performance of the more expensive primary ULPA filter.By handling the initial, heavy load of debris and odors, it reduces the stress on the main unit.
Key benefits of using this prefilter:
- Superior Particulate Removal: Captures particulate matter down to 0.3 microns from surgical smoke plume.
- Visual Replacement Indicator: Features a built-in visual cue; replacement is necessary when the top layer of filter media displays dark brown or black sediment buildup.
- Recommended Use: Supplied in boxes of 30 units and recommended for single-use replacement, ideal for low plume, short-duration electrosurgical procedures.
- Broad Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with the SurgiFresh Turbo (alongside ULPA Filter #901300-000) and can serve as a replacement for filters in specific systems from CooperSurgical, Niche Medical, and Valleylab.
Does the prefilter have a visual replacement indicator?
Yes, the Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter is equipped with a crucial visual replacement indicator that helps ensure the primary ULPA filter maintains optimum performance and useful life. This feature allows for quick replacement, even during a procedure if necessary.
- Visual Cue: The media within the prefilter darkens as it captures sediment from the surgical smoke plume.
- Replacement Trigger: You must replace the prefilter when the top layer of the media becomes covered with dark brown or black sediment.
These prefilters are highly recommended for single-use application per procedure to ensure consistent, effective filtration.
Are there different port sizes available?
Yes, the Surgifresh Smoke Prefilter is available in two convenient sizes to ensure compatibility with various smoke evacuation systems:
- 7/8” Vacuum Hose Port
- 1 1/3” Vacuum Hose Port
These options allow seamless integration with systems such as the SurgiFresh Turbo, CooperSurgical, Niche Medical, and specific Valleylab models.
