What to do if my Buffalo filter Medical Equipment ViroVac© Surgical Smoke Evacuator does not function?

J
John GutierrezAug 4, 2025
If your ViroVac© Surgical Smoke Evacuator Medical Equipment isn't working even when the On/Standby button is pressed, and there are no lights, first, check if it's properly plugged into a grounded electrical outlet and the power receptacle at the back of the device. If that's not the issue, the fuse(s) might be blown. Disconnect the power, remove the fascia and body, and check the two fuses on the circuit board (PCB). Replace them if necessary. It could also mean the filter life has expired or an invalid filter is installed, so try replacing the filter. As a last resort, apply the power directly to the motor. If the motor spins, the PCB is not functioning, then replace the PCB and perform a hipot test and current leakage test.

How to troubleshoot minimal suction in Buffalo filter Medical Equipment ViroVac© Surgical Smoke Evacuator?

If the ViroVac© Surgical Smoke Evacuator Medical Equipment is on but has minimal or no suction, the filter might not be correctly installed. Reinstall the filter, pressing it firmly into place. Alternatively, the filter could be clogged, in which case you should replace it with a new one from the manufacturer. Another possibility is that the vacuum tubing is clogged, so replace it with the manufacturer’s products.
