The Buffalo Filter OR-VAC Smoke Evacuation Filter (OL353, also known as VS353) is a high-efficiency, multi-port filter designed for use with Buffalo Filter and compatible CONMED smoke evacuation systems, including the ViroVac and OR-VAC units. It is engineered to capture and filter surgical smoke, particulates, and harmful volatile organic compounds generated during electrosurgical and laser procedures.
Key Features
- Four-Stage Filtration:
- Gross particulate pre-filter traps large debris and casual fluid.
- ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter captures particulates and microorganisms down to 0.1–0.2 microns at 99.999% efficiency.
- Activated carbon layer adsorbs odors and toxic gases produced during tissue ablation.
- Post-filter traps carbon fines, ensuring only clean air is exhausted.
- Three-Port Design:
- Accommodates 1/4" (6.4 mm), 3/8" (9.5 mm), and 7/8" (22 mm) tubing for flexible setup and compatibility with various surgical instruments.
- Extended Filter Life:
- Provides up to 35 hours of plume evacuation time, with filter tracking technology to monitor usage and replacement needs.
- Safety and Convenience:
- Completely enclosed filter housing to protect healthcare personnel from contamination during filter changes.
- Hidden ports reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
- Compatibility:
- Designed for use with Buffalo Filter and CONMED smoke evacuation systems, including ViroVac and OR-VAC units.
