3.3 Maximizing Use Suggestions
1. Air flow
a. The distance of the tubing from the plume source affects capture and removal of the
plume. The tubing end should be within several inches of the procedure site.
b. Larger tubing will permit a higher volume of flow for better plume removal. Do not
occlude tubing.
2. Noise
a. Lower speed equals lower noise.
b. Larger tubing equals lower noise. Do not occlude tubing.
c. Use the footswitch to turn the suction on and off as it is needed during the procedure.
3. Incidental Fluids
a. Replace filters immediately if contaminated by fluids.
b. The SurgiFresh® Turbo should not be used as a primary fluid suction system.
