DEVICE: n.a. (04048438001288)

A screening device designed for use with a surgical smoke evacuation system, to entrap particulates from the plume of smoke created typically through the use of various tissue-burning surgical devices (e.g., laser, electrosurgical diathermy device), to prevent this from exhausting into the ambient air or evacuation tubing/pipeline systems. It will typically have a hydrophobic membrane that retains the particulate/bacterial pathogens through a combination of mechanical, electrostatic, or other means. The device comes in various sizes and designs. This is a reusable device, typically with a limited lifetime (e.g., 5 hours, 20 procedures, or weekly exchange).
