About the RapidVac Smoke Evacuator
The RapidVac Smoke Evacuator captures particulates and adsorbs gases from
surgical smoke. The smoke evacuator is specifically designed to improve
visibility and reduce potential health hazards associated with surgical smoke. It
can be used in both open and laparoscopic procedures.
The RapidVac Smoke Evacuator is designed with a high suction, high flow rate
centrifugal action pump. The ultra-quiet motor is used to draw the smoke from the
surgical site through the vacuum tubing and into the system where it 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 SEA3700 Filter contains four filtration stages to capture the 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.
