Setting Up the Smoke Evacuator
3-10 RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator User’s Guide
Open Procedure—Evacuating Smoke and Incidental
Fluids
The primary function of the smoke evacuator is to evacuate surgical smoke. A
fluid canister is recommended to prevent the filters from getting wet when
evacuating smoke that may contain incidental fluids.
1. Verify the installed filter has enough available filter life to complete the
procedure.
2. Insert a fluid canister in-line with the smoke evacuator tubing.
Notice
Fluids may damage the filters. When evacuating smoke and incidental fluids,
always use the appropriate tubing and fluid canister.
Check the fluid level in the canister frequently during surgery. If the fluid canister
overfills, smoke evacuator damage will result.
Connecting multiple lengths of tubing together may cause the smoke evacuator
to overheat.
