Suction system filter, plume particulate (A screening device intended to be installed within the suction tubing line of a suction system, or the suction tubing used with a central vacuum system, to extract particulates from the plume of smoke created typically through the use of various tissue-burning surgical devices (e.g., laser, electrosurgical diathermy device), to prevent clogging of the suction or vacuum system. It will typically have a hydrophobic membrane that retains the particulate/bacterial pathogens through a combination of mechanical, electrostatic, or other means. The device comes in various sizes and designs and can be made of translucent plastic, allowing for inspection when in use. This is a single-use device.)
