Florida H0093 mandates hospitals and surgical centers to use smoke evacuation systems during surgeries that produce smoke.

Florida H0093 defines "smoke evacuation system" as equipment that captures and filters surgical smoke at its source. It requires hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers to adopt policies mandating the use of these systems during surgeries likely to produce smoke by January 1, 2027. The bill also defines "surgical smoke" as the byproduct from energy-generating devices, including bio-aerosols and lung-damaging dust.
