1.1 Introduction

The Bovie Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator is intended to evacuate and filter surgical smoke and
®
aerosols created by the interface of surgical tools with tissue (examples: lasers, electrosurgery systems,
desiccators and ultrasonic devices).
The Bovie Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator has been designed to provide appropriate
®
suctioning, using a motor on /off button, to manage surgical smoke instruments. The ultra-quiet motor
is used to draw the surgical smoke from the surgical site through the vacuum tubing and into the filter
where the surgical smoke is processed through four (4) stages of filtration. A single, completely enclosed,
disposable filter is used to simplify installation and removal during filter changes to protect healthcare
personnel from potential contamination during filter changes.
1. The first stage filtration utilizes a pre-filter to trap and remove gross particulate and casual fluid.
2. The second stage filtration is an ULPA grade (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter with a high-tech
patented design that captures particulates and micro-organisms from 0.1 to 0.2 microns at 99.999%
efficiency.
3. The third stage filtration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon. The activated carbon is
known to remove toxic organic gases and may provide optimal odor removal.
4. The fourth stage filtration is a woven fiberglass filtration media used to reduce the amount of
activated carbon fines from migrating out of the filters.
