1.4.2 CAUTIONS:
• Federal law (United States of America) restricts this device to be used by, or on the order of a physician.
• Do not block either the tubing or the filter. If either becomes occluded or significantly restricted, the
motor/blower may overheat and cause the unit to fail.
• Using any other filter or accessory not supplied by BUFFALO FILTER may cause damage and/
or cause the system to be inoperable and may void the warranty.
• Care must be exercised in the installation of hoses, adapters and suction canisters. Failure to
follow the procedures outlined in this manual may result in overheating of the motor and may
void the unit warranty.
• When using and accessory that will be connected to a surgical cannula, ensure that a mechanical
means of closing the flow to the evacuator is available, such as a stopcock to prevent unwanted loss of
pneumo gasses during the procedure or in case of system failure.
• This device is not intended for evacuation of fluid. If fluid is expected to be aspirated to the ViroSafe®
Filter, fluid collection devices must be installed with the vacuum hose assembly. Failure to install a
fluid collection device could cause filter blockage and electrical damage.
• The ViroSafe® Filter should be changed according to the life of the filter. The ViroSafe® Filter, used with
the Turbo Auto-Sense™ Smoke Evacuation System(s), should not be used for more the time specified
for each filter. Failure to change the filter may result in decreased efficiency and contamination of the
electric motor, vacuum pump, and sound absorbing media within the unit.
• Do not block either the tubing or the filter during operation. An occlusion or significant restriction
may cause the motor to overheat and the unit to stop working.
