ULT Jumbo MED Filter Trolley

For safe smoke evacuation in medical procedures

Surgical Laser Plume is Dangerous and must be regarded as a Health and Safety Issue

Research has proved that smoke plume produced from laser and electrocautery surgical techniques can contain potentially hazardous biological and chemical particles:

Biological
  • Viruses
  • Bacterial spore
  • Dead and live cellular material
  • Cancer cells
  • Carbonized tissue
  • Aerosolized blook fragments
Chemical
  • Mutagens
  • Carcinogens
  • Allergens
  • Irritants to respiratory tract
  • Toxic Gases - Benzene
  • Toluene
  • Formaldehyde
  • Cyanide

Particles range from 200+ micron to 0.01 micron.
Most particles are at 0.3 micron and this size fits exactly into the alveoli of the lung

If you can Smell it – You are inhaling it!

Short-term health symptoms from exposure to surgical plume may include upper respiratory tract irritation, nausea, vomiting and fatigue.

Long-term affects of exposure to laser plume are yet to be realised. Extensive research shows the viability of HIV and HPV viruses as well as cancer cells in the laser plume. For example, there is the potential to generate infectious viral fragments, particularly following the treatment of genital warts.

ACORN S23 Standard 1 – Nurses shall utilise appropriate procedures for removal of airborne contaminants associated with the presence of Laser Plume

Criteria – Use evacuator with ULPA filter and efficiency rating of not less than 99.99%

What's in the odour during Laser Hair Removal?

Keratin, Sulphur Dioxide, Hydrogen Sulphide, Cysteine, Melanin, Tyrosine, Dopa (Dopamine) Chemicals and Dyes, Heavy Metals, Drugs.

When 1 gram of skin tissue is vaporised with a laser or electrosurgical device, the mutagenicities of the resultant smoke and aerosol condensates are the equivalent of that generated by 6 cigarettes. (1g of tissue generates about 40mg of smoke)

The ULT Jumbo MED Filter trolley meets the demands required to safely remove laser plume at source. The adjustable exhaust arm can be precisely positioned quickly and easily for hands-free operation.

Multi Stage Large Capacity Filtering System for High Efficiency and Long life

Filters meet specified standards for plume:
  • ULPA (0.1 mµ) Viral Filter
  • HEPA (0.3 mµ) Bacterial Filter

The combination of pre-filter, absolute filter and adsorption filters guarantees the effective filtration of odours and harmful contaminants in the laser plume. Individual filter elements can be exchanged independently in order to prolong the life of each filter stage.
