What material should be used for screening the medical-surgical vacuum exhaust?

The screening of the medical-surgical vacuum exhaust must be done using a non-corroding material to ensure the integrity and functionality of the system. Medical-surgical vacuum systems often handle fluids and vapors that could lead to corrosion if the screening material is not appropriate. Non-corroding materials, such as certain plastics or specialized metals that resist oxidization, provide the necessary durability and longevity to withstand the conditions present in medical environments.

Choosing a non-corroding material helps maintain the performance of the vacuum system over time, prevents the introduction of corrosion-related contaminants back into the facility, and ensures compliance with safety standards. This choice is pivotal to ensuring the system continuously operates effectively and safely within healthcare settings.
