FDA has cleared a Palliare 510(k) for its EVA15 insufflator and smoke evacuation system. The device was designed to meet the “demanding insufflation requirements of endoscopic and robotic surgery, while offering integrated surgical smoke evacuation capability, filtering the hazardous smoke particles produced during laparoscopic surgery and removing them from the operating room,” the company says. It provides pedal-activated smoke evacuation, and it can be connected directly to an operating room’s scavenging system to ensuring that smoke is completely removed and not re-circulated, Palliare says.
