Translation of "Smoke evacuation" in German

Smoke evacuation has the aim to remove smoke and heat in case of fire.

In this category you will find more information aboutcompartmentation and smoke evacuation .

The high-performance smoke evacuation unit, designed for permanent use in the OR.

Rf-Technologies is a prominent European manufacturer of specialist fire resistant solutions for compartmentation and smoke evacuation.

The servomotor is designed to control smoke evacuation dampers from a distance.

This smoke evacuation system has the advantages of not requiring an addition incision and not requiring additional personnel to operate the system.

Since the smoke evacuation system of the present invention is activated only when the laser cutting beam is activated, the smoke evacuator system is only on for a small portion of the time the patient is in surgery.

The surgeon then places the laser laparoscope in the trocar, and the smoke evacuation occurs during surgery automatically every time the cutting laser beam is activated.

In this manner all residual smoke is removed after cutting has stopped, assuring complete smoke evacuation with each activation of the laser cutting beam.

Natural smoke evacuation happens mostly through window and door openings and through elevator shafts which is an official safety regulation.

Mechanical smoke evacuation is mostly applied in case of enclosed spaces and basements in buildings, where smoke can not immediately be evacuated.

Our compartmentation and smoke evacuation products guarantee the safety of commercial and institutional buildings all over Europe: office buildings, hospitals, museums, government buildings, and shopping centres.

In these situations smoke evacuation happens through extraction shafts where extraction vents lead the smoke through the shaft.

The FUMOVAC 900 smoke evacuation system was designed to be user-friendly, with all the main parameters clearly visible at a glance.

This means that the OR team can concentrate fully on the patient without having to operate the smoke evacuation system.

Smoke evacuation is based on thermal, where hot smoke and combustion gases rise at the hearth and are evacuated via the roof, while at a lower level (below the smoke layer) fresh air is supplied.

The smoke evacuator system can use either a built-in vacuum pump or an external vacuum source such as that typically provided in an operating room.

The system of claim 1 wherein said vacuum means comprising a vacuum pump contained within said smoke evacuator system.

This stopcock 88 is connected to several holes 92 at the bottom of trocar 82 which provide the exhaust path for the smoke evacuator system.

When the smoke evacuator system is activated, vacuum line 90 presents a vacuum to stopcock 88, which draws smoke and CO2 gas through exhaust holes 92 from the body cavity 85 of the patient.

Using the smoke evacuator system is transparent to the surgeon's normal activities once the system is connected and ready for use.

However, with the smoke evacuator system of the present invention, such small quantities of CO2 are used that the contaminated CO2 can be filtered and disposed of out the exhaust port.

This method assures the smoke eliminator system cannot transfer any contaminated matter to the patient undergoing the procedure, or to the next patient whose surgery requires the use of the smoke evacuator system.

The system of claim 13 further comprising switched power output means for powering a vacuum source external to said smoke evacuator system, which switched power output means is provided by the output of said power switching means.

This type of smoke evacuator system is generally turned on manually and operated continuously during a laser surgical procedure.

This continuous operation of the smoke evacuator system during surgery produces a constant noise and uses electrical power.

In addition the continuous air pressure on the filter element of the smoke evacuator system usually saturates or overloads the system's filter element and thereby allows the toxic fumes which are supposed to be evacuated from the surgical area to escape uncontrolled into the medical operating room rather than being vented outside, which is supposed to be the function of the smoke evacuator system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of this invention to provide an automatic smoke evacuator system and method to remove smoke from the body cavity during a laser surgical procedure.

It is another object of this invention to provide an automatic smoke evacuator system and method for use during laser laparoscopy or electro surgical laparoscopy.

It is a further object of this invention to provide an automatic smoke evacuator system and method that is activated automatically when the laser cutting beam of the laser surgical tool is activated.

It is still another object of this invention to provide an automatic smoke evacuator system and method which requires no additional incision, no additional medical personnel for its operation, and no additional steps in the surgical process to effectively eliminate smoke during a laser surgical procedure.

It is yet further object of this invention to provide an automatic smoke evacuator system and method which can use either an external vacuum source, or an internal vacuum source provided with the smoke evacuator system.

The optical sensors are installed on the foot switch the surgeon normally uses to activate the cutting laser beam which causes the foot switch to also control the activation of the smoke evacuator system.
