Abstract: A filter assembly for a smoke evacuation unit. A sensor is positioned within a housing of the filter assembly. The sensor may be a capacitive sensor disposed near one or more inlet ports. A controller may operate a vacuum source based on the sensor detecting operation of a powered surgical device, for example, though changes in electric field detected through the inlet ports. The filter assembly may include a shielding cover providing an electromagnetic barrier. The shielding cover may be in electrical communication with a contact pad configured to engage a terminal of the smoke evacuation unit. The contact pad may be disposed within a recess on a side of the housing. Electrical contact between the contact pad and the terminal may ground the shielding cover, and the controller may authenticate the filter assembly based thereon. A liquid collection compartment may be disposed beneath a filter compartment within the housing.

Abstract: Methods of reprocessing and assembly of a filter assembly for a smoke evacuation unit. Reprocessing includes accessing a filter chamber of the housing. Filter media is removed from the filter chamber by severing the filter media or an adhesive bond that joins the filter media. A replacement filter media provided, and disposed within the filter chamber to provide a sealed fluid pathway through the replacement filter media. The machined housing may provide a bonding surface, and the replacement filter media may be bonded to the bonding surface. The replacement filter media may be a cartridge including a cartridge housing, and the replacement filter media disposed therein. The step of accessing the filter chamber may include severing a rear side of the housing about a suction outlet, severing rear and front portions of the housing, and/or decoupling a cover from a front of the housing.

Abstract: A delivery portal, which may be at a loading dock, includes a sensor configured to detect a pallet, platform or stack of goods as it passes through the portal. A computer is programmed to receive information from the sensor and to identify the pallet based upon the information. The computer is further programmed to compare the identified pallet to a database to determine if the identified pallet should be passing through the portal. For example, the computer determines whether the pallet is being loaded onto the wrong truck or onto the right truck but in the wrong sequence. The sensor for detecting the pallet may be an RFID sensor reading an RFID tag on the pallets. The portal may be a loading dock. The database may indicate a sequence for loading a plurality of pallets including the identified pallet onto a truck at the loading dock.
