DESCRIPTION / INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator is intended to evacuate and
filter surgical smoke and aerosols created by the interface of surgical tools
with tissue (examples: lasers, electrosurgery systems, desiccators and
ultrasonic devices).
The Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator has been designed to provide
appropriate suctioning, using a motor on /off button, to manage surgical smoke
instruments. The ultra-quiet motor is used to draw the surgical smoke from the
surgical site through the vacuum tubing and into the filter where the surgical
smoke is processed through four (4) stages of filtration. A single, completely
enclosed, disposable filter is used to simplify installation and removal
during filter changes to protect healthcare personnel from potential
contamination during filter changes.
- The first stage filtration utilizes a pre-filter to trap and remove gross particulate and casual fluid.
- The second stage filtration is an ULPA grade (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter with a high-tech patented design that captures particulates and micro-organisms from 0.1 to 0.2 microns at 99.999% efficiency.
- The third stage filtration uses the highest grade virgin activated carbon. The activated carbon is known to remove toxic organic gases and may provide optimal odor removal.
- The fourth stage filtration is a woven fiberglass filtration media used to reduce the amount of activated carbon fines from migrating out of the filters.

Control Panel (see Figure 2)
The Control Panel contains the following LED indicators: Motor On, Standby,
Filter Life, and Service.
Read all instructions before operating the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke
Evacuator or installing accessories. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator and/or personal injury.
POWER OFF / ON
To power up the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator, connect the
supplied Power Cord to a grounded electrical outlet and the power receptacle
at the bottom of the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator. Flip the
Power Off/On Button to “ON” to apply power to the unit. Once power has been
applied, the Standby Indicator LED illuminates the color amber. Turn the
Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke
Evacuator main power off by either flipping the Power Off/On Button to “OFF”
or by unplugging the Power Cord from either the power receptacle on the Bovie®
Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator or the grounded electrical outlet.
SUCTION ON / STANDBY BUTTON
Press the Suction On/Standby Button to shift between two (2) modes: On or
Standby. The Suction On
LED illuminates the color green indicating active suction and the Standby LED
illuminates the color amber when in standby.
Filter LIFE INDICATOR
The Filter Life Indicator on the Control Panel provides a visual indication of
the status of the filter life of the filter in use.
Install an unused filter into the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator
as per the installation instructions (section 2.3). When the Motor On LED is
illuminated, the Filter Life Indicator will light up the uppermost green LED
indicating 100% Filter Life. The indicator will progress through subsequent
colors, from green LEDs to amber LED as time elapses, and finally to red to
indicate the filter has expired and requires replacement. When the maximum
filter life is expended: The unit will cease operation in one (1) hour or when
the unit is manually powered off, whichever occurs first. The smoke evacuator
will not resume functionality until a new filter is installed. The filter has
a 6 hour lifetime which is automatically tracked by the Bovie® Smoke Shark
Surgical Smoke Evacuator.
Set-Up and Operation
-
Mount the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator
using the wall mounting kit (SE03-M). Secure the wall
mounting kit to the wall by drilling two 3/8” diameter holes in wall, installing the provided hardware into the holes, and secure mounting plate to the provided hardware. The Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator can be secured to the wall mounting kit (SE03-M) by sliding the two screws protruding from the rear of the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator (Figure 2.) into the grooves found on the mounting kit (SE03-M). -
Attach the Power Cord to the power receptacle on the bottom of the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator and into a grounded electrical outlet. Route Power Cord to prevent a tripping hazard or crimping of cords, which could cause unreliable operation or electric shock.
-
Install the filter (see filter installation instructions, section 2.3).
-
The Automatic Activation Device may also be installed by plugging it into the Automatic Activation Device port located on the front of the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator. See section 2.4 for instructions.
-
Ensure that any smoke evacuation capture accessory is fully installed in the filter port.
-
Route any other attached accessories to prevent a tripping hazard or crimping of cords, which could cause unreliable operation.
-
Activate the Bovie® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator by one of the following:
- Pressing the Suction On/Standby Button on the Control Panel of the smoke evacuator.
- Utilizing the automatic activation accessory provided with the unit. This device will synchronize the activation of the smoke evacuation unit with the activation of the desiccator device.

| Field strength from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range.
| Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the
following symbol:
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations.
Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structure, objects and people.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Bovie ® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Bovie ® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Bovie ® Smoke Shark Surgical Smoke Evacuator.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
