A filter cartridge for a surgical gas delivery system is disclosed which includes a housing having a front end and a rear end and defining a first interior flow path extending downstream from a first inlet at the rear end of the housing to a first outlet at the front end of the housing, and a second interior flow path extending upstream from a second inlet at the front end the housing to a second outlet at the rear end of the housing, a first pleated filter element operatively associated with the first interior flow path, a second pleated filter element operatively associated with the second interior flow path, and a carbon filter disc operatively associated with the second interior flow path and positioned adjacent a downstream side of the second pleated filter element.

Filter cartridge assemblies

A filter cartridge assembly is disclosed, which includes a housing having a reservoir for collecting fluids entering the housing through a gas return path, a sensor located within the reservoir for detecting a fluid level therein, and a backer plate positioned within the housing adjacent an inlet port to the reservoir and including fluid management structure to shield the sensor from fluid entering the reservoir from the gas return path through the inlet port and causing a false indication of the fluid level in the reservoir.
