Residual blood was removed from the posterior fornix, the smoke
evacuator was deactivated, the dispersive pad and speculum were removed, and the patient was assisted in getting up from the table.
A smoke
evacuator filtered the generated plume at the operative site.
After undertaking a literature review I believe that every theatre should have a smoke
evacuator and it should become mandatory for every operation which uses diathermy or laser.
While the laser was treating the hair, the particle counters recorded a eightfold increase in ultrafine-particle concentrations, compared with ambient room baseline; this occurred even with a smoke
evacuator within 5 cm of the procedure site.
Once people became aware of these hazards it was increasingly obvious the one smoke
evacuator machine in the department was not enough.
For example, after firing you're supposed to slide back the bore
evacuator, inspect for damage and then clean, clean, clean!
The filters are available to fit almost every canister, saliva ejector and cuspidor bowl and to fit like a cap on any standard high-volume
evacuator tip.
Box 3 Precautions for the Mouth Prop (1,11) * Plastic
evacuator tips should not be used for office fabrication due to possible splintering.
The engine is fitted with a Donaldson dry-type air cleaner with centrifugal precleaner, replaceable primary element, safety element and automatic dust
evacuator with restriction indicator filters engine intake air.

evacuatorDuring LHR, the portable condensation particle counters documented an eightfold increase, compared with the ambient room baseline level of ultrafine particle concentrations (ambient room baseline, 15,300 particles per cubic centimeter [ppc]; LHR with smoke
evacuator, 129,376 ppc), even when a smoke
evacuator was in close proximity (5.0 cm) to the procedure site.
Ogg: While the use of a N95 filtering face piece respirator may seem like a less costly alternative to a smoke
evacuator and the capture equipment, there are costs associated with the N95 filtering face piece respirators such as the higher price of this type of respiratory protection, fit testing before use, and training to use the respirator properly.
