Covidien RapidVac Smoke Evacuator Filter (2/Case)
The Covidien RapidVac Smoke Evacuator Filter (#SEA3700 / 2 per Case) is designed for use with the ValleyLab RapidVac Smoke Evacuator System (#SE3690).
It is an all-in-one, long-life, high-technology, RFID-equipped ULPA filter that provides 99.9995% filtration efficiency at a 0.12 micron particle size. There is no need for separate prefilters or adapters, reducing the cost per procedure. A single disposable filter is useful to simplify the installation and removal during filter changes. It is completely enclosed to protect the healthcare personnel from potential contamination during filter changes.
Features
Covidien RapidVac Smoke Evacuator Filter Features
- 25 hours of activation time.
- Three ports for common filter sizes [1/4″ (6 mm), 3/8″ (10 mm), and 7/8″ (22 mm)].
-
Four Filtration Stages to capture smoke plume:
- Stage 1: A prefilter that traps and removes gross particulate and incidental fluid.
- Stage 2: An ULPA grade (Ultra Low Penetration Air) patented filter captures particulates and micro-organisms down to 0.1 µm at 99.9995% efficiency.
- Stage 3: The highest grade virgin activated carbon, designed specifically for ValleyLab for the removal and adsorption of odors and toxic gases produced by burning tissue. These harmful gases may constitute a health hazard to healthcare professionals who are subjected to prolonged exposure. The activated carbon used in the smoke evacuation system preferentially removes toxic organic gases (rather than water vapor) and provides optimal odor removal.
- Stage 4: An expanded foam used to trap activated carbon fines from migrating out of the filter.
