"The Device is an end-piece smoke collector to be used as an alternative to the standard plastic ""wand"" smoke collector in current use with smoke evacuation Systems for laser surgical procedures (Smoke evacuation system, Laser; classification number, 79VCN; docket: none). Specifically, the Device is an end-piece smoke collector to be attached to laser plume evacuation systems currently in use. The Device is used by attaching it to the same type of sterile hose to which the wand-type smoke collector is attached, as currently used in laser plume evacuation Systems. The Device is disposed of after each use. The Device is manufactured in three sizes, all of which have the same function and intended use."
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).
