1.1 Introduction

BUFFALO FILTER

noxious odors produced by surgical smoke during laser, electrosurgical, ultrasonic, argon, plasma and

mechanical instrument procedures.

The PlumeSafe Smoke Evacuation Systems have been designed with a high suction, high flow rate

centrifugal action pump. The ultra-qui et motor is used to draw t he surgical smoke from the surgical

site through the vacuum tubing and into the ViroSafe filter where the surgical smoke is processed by

a series of filters. A single disposable filter is used to simplify the installation and removal during

filter changes. The filter is completely enclosed to protect the healthcare personnel from potential

contamination during filter changes. One Buffalo Filter ViroSafe filter contains four different stages

within to capture the smoke plume.

The first stage filtration is a prefilter whose function is to trap and remove gross particulate and casual

fluid.

The second stage filtration is ULPA grade (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter whose high-tech

patented (U.S. Patent #58740 52) design captures particulates and micro-organisms from

.1 to .2 microns at an efficiency of 99.999%.

The third stage filtration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon, especially designed for

Buffalo Filter for the remo val and adsorption of odors and toxic g ases produced by burning tissues.

These harmful gases may constitute a health hazard to healthcare professionals who are subjected to

prolonged exposure. The activated carbon used in the Plum eSafe Smoke Evacuation Systems

preferentially removes toxic organic gases rather than water vapor and provides optimal odor

removal.

The fourth stage filtration is an expanded foam used to trap activated carbon fines from migrating out

of the filter.

The electronic controls on the face panel of the PlumeSafe S moke Evacuation System has been

designed "user friendly " and facilitate unit set up and operation. Please refer to Section 2.0 for

Operating Instructions.
