Anesthetic gas scavenging system

The Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging system is an active system which removes anaesthetic gas mixtures from operating rooms and any other areas fitted with nitrous oxide terminal units. The removal at source thus eliminates the possible long term health hazards to exposed medical staff. By virtue of its design, the active disposal system can produce high levels of capture simply by connecting thea terminal unit to the anaesthetic breathing circuit via a receiver unit, thereby removing the majority of “pollution” at source. Features Accessible easy installation All Setting are Factory set and tested for assured reliability Digital control panel indicates pipeline pressure Adjustable from the outside and can be placed on either side of unit Easy-to-read digital display indicates pipeline pressure Designed with minimal pressure drop for better plant performance Easy to maintain and prevents large dust particles from entering the pump Where planned preventive maintenance of a blower could interrupt the smooth running of the operating department, a duplex system is strongly recommended. In the event of a blower malfunction, the stand-by unit is automatically brought online, ensuring the AGS system continues to provide protection for medical staff, and that operations do not have to be delayed or cancelled.Simplex systems are allowed. However, HTM 02-01 states that wherever a single AGS pump is provided for a single operating suite, a spare pump for up to six units should be provided for immediate connection into the system in the event of failure.
