SURGICAL SMOKE EVACUATION

Amends the University of Illinois Hospital Act, the Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act, and the Hospital Licensing Act. In provisions regarding surgical smoke plume evacuation, provides that "surgical smoke plume evacuation system" means a dedicated device that is designed to capture, transport, and filter (rather than capture, transport, filter, and neutralize) surgical smoke plume at the site of origin and before it can diffuse and pose a risk to the occupants of the operating or treatment room (rather than before surgical smoke plume can make ocular contact, or contact with the respiratory tract, of an employee). Corrects a typographical error. Effective immediately.
