Active scavenging for up to 25 anesthesia machines.
The elimination of trace anesthesia gases from the operating room is a major concern for veterinarians and their personnel. The only effective way to eliminate these gases is to collect them at the anesthesia machine’s pop-off valve outlet and conduct them directly to the outside with an Active Anesthesia Scavenger.
On the market for 13 years – problem free
Balanced by valves in three locations, therefore no periodic adjustments have to be made
Additional machine locations may be added at any time without affecting the present system
Can handle up to 25 anesthesia machines with 200’ of plumbing above the ceiling
Recommended by all well-known veterinary architectural firms
The basic unit consists of the power unit, a vent hood & pipe, 6’ of flexible heavy duty hose, 90° elbow, “Y” tee fitting, interface & carrier air inlet valve.
Scavenging system benefits
Prevents unloading of the breathing circuit
The vacuum pressure generated by the power unit is continuously regulated by the Air-Inlet Valve strategically positioned in the system.
Offers no resistance to the pop-off valve
The tube diameters of the system are designed so there will be no increase in pop-off exhaust pressure during surgery.
Eliminates need for charcoal filters
Forget about charcoal filled canisters that become saturated (and ineffective) after a short period of time! Full attention may be devoted to surgery, not to the status of a charcoal filter.
Effective for all anesthetic agents including nitrous oxide
Compatible with all non-flammable anesthetic agents, the system is also effective with nitrous oxide.Charcoal filled canisters do not absorb nitrous oxide but pass it directly to the operating room.
Does not inhibit machine mobility
Ten feet of flexible interface tubing allows mobility of the anesthesia machine.
Suitable for clinics that have one or more machines
The Anesthesia Scavenger may be designed for hospitals with multiple machines and/or machines not located adjacent to an outside wall.
Designed to fit most anesthesia circuits
Anesthesia Scavenger may be connected to the scavenging pop-off valve outlet nipple on all commonly used Anesthesia Machines. Scavenger pop-off valves are available for many older machines that don’t have one.
