AGSS system
The suction and disposal to the environment of the redundant gases from the anesthetic equipment inside the operating theatres but also from the emitted anesthetic gases from patients in the stage of recovery, is being applied by using an automatic anesthetic gas scavenging disposal system (AGSS), through the AGSS outlets which are installed in various departments. The Anesthetic Gas Scavenging (AGS) system removes anesthetic gas mixtures from theatres and recovery areas, thereby protecting the medical staff from possible long term health hazards. By virtue of its design, the new active disposal system can produce high levels of capture simply by connecting the terminal unit to the anaesthetic breathing circuit via a receiver unit, thereby removing the majority of "pollution" at source.
Three type of anaesthetic gas scavenging system are available:
1. Central scavenging system with two blowers (range capacity from 30+30m3/h to 300+300m3/h)
2. Central venturi type apparatus. Flow rate 60lpm. Air pressure supply 6÷8bar.
3. Autonomous venturi scavenging outlet. Flow rate 50lpm.Air pressure supply 6÷8bar.
