Michigan HB4779 mandates health facilities to use evacuation systems for surgical smoke plume during procedures using heat-producing equipment.

Michigan HB4779 amends the Public Health Code to require health facilities to develop and implement a policy for using surgical smoke plume evacuation systems during procedures using heat-producing equipment. This includes procedures using electric currents, lasers, or other heat-generating instruments. The evacuation systems are designed to capture, transport, filter, and neutralize the harmful vapors, gases, or particles produced during these procedures, preventing them from making ocular contact or entering the respiratory tract of individuals.
