ABSTRACT:
An automatic smoke evacuator activator system and method are disclosed preferably for use with a laser surgical apparatus which utilizes a smoke evacuator system for removing smoke and toxic fumes from the area serviced by the smoke evacuator system and a switch coupled to the laser surgical apparatus for turning on the laser cutting beam of the laser surgical apparatus and to the smoke evacuator system for simultaneously turning on the smoke evacuator system when the laser cutting beam of the laser surgical apparatus is turned on. Other features include the switch having a switch position to turn off the smoke evacuator system and the laser cutting beam of the laser surgical apparatus. A time delay is coupled to the switch for time delaying the turning off of the smoke evacuator system. In one embodiment, a transmitter and a receiver are used to control the operation of the swtich by using an infrared beam between the transmitter and receiver that is acted upon by the switch.
