Zusammenfassung:A closed loop filtration system includes first and second trocars providing sealed access to a body cavity, a power supply, first and second ionizer units electrically coupled to the power supply, and a filter cartridge. The filter cartridge includes an inlet in communication with the first trocar, an outlet in communication with the second trocar, a first electrode disposed downstream of the inlet of the filter cartridge, and a second electrode disposed downstream of the first electrode. The first electrode is electrically coupled to the first ionizer unit to ionize airborne particulate matter flowing therethrough. The second electrode is electrically coupled to the second ionizer unit and configured to attract the airborne particulate matter that is ionized by the first electrode.
