BILF101
In-Line Wall Suction Filter
INSTRUCTIONS
The Buffalo Filter In-Line Wall Suction Filter
is used to filter smoke plume, aerosols and debris
generated during laser and electrosurgical procedures. Per NIOSH publication no. 96-128, in-line filter
protection is required when room suction is used for smoke plume capture.
Instructions:
1. Remove hose barb cap. Install ¼ inch tubing to the hose barb at the “suction” end of the filter.
Connect this tubing to wall suction.
2. Remove hose barb cap. Install ¼ inch tubing to the hose barb at the “patient” end of the filter.
Connect this tubing to the surgical laser, electrosurgical pencil adaptor or other appropriate surgical
instrument.
3. Install a fluid collection device (Buffalo Filter part number SCC1001) between the filter and the
surgical instrument if excessive fluid is expected. Failure to install a fluid collection device could
cause filter blockage and/or failure.
4. This filter is considered a single use filter and should be removed and discarded after each surgical
procedure. Used filters are considered biohazardous waste; handle according to appropriate
hospital protocol.
