Always verify the proper operation of any gas scavenging
system. Make sure that the scavenging system is not
occluded.
The optional passive anesthesia gas scavenging system (AGSS) is
for use in operating room environments that do not have an active
gas extraction system for waste gas disposal. The passive AGSS
contains both positive and negative pressure relief valves to protect
the breathing system and the patient.
Passive AGSS may be used with a non-recirculating ventilation
system for waste gas disposal. The tubing connection from passive
AGSS to the non-recirculating ventilation system should be an open
connection, essentially at atmospheric pressure. For example, to an
exhaust grill.
1. Connect a large diameter tubing to the 30-mm tapered connector
AGSS
on the bottom of the AGSS receiver.
2. Connect a large diameter tubing from the passive AGSS to
exterior of the building.
The tubing should be as large in diameter and as short as
possible.
3. Use the male luer inlet connection near the 30-mm connector for
scavenging the sample gas from a gas monitor.
