2.3 SCAVENGING OF WASTE EXHALED GAS
To scavenge exhaled air from the patient during inhalation
analgesia a scavenging system must be employed. There are two
options for exhaled gas scavenging:
[1] Scavenger Adapter
The optional Patient Valve with Scavenger Adapter (17MP1100-
90DEG) is designed for exhaled gas scavenging.
To apply,
• Remove the Non-rebreathing Patient Valve from the demand
valve;
• Attach the Patient Valve with Scavenger Adapter on to the
demand valve;
• Connect a scavenging tube to the 19mm/30mm outlet of the
Scavenger Adapter to divert the exhaled gas to the exhaust
system.
NOTE: The 30 mm exhalation port meets the requirements of the
International Standards for Conical Connectors for Low Pressure
Medical Gas Systems and will allow the attachment of corrugated
tubing so that the patient's exhaled breath can be scavenged
from the exhalation valve to the exhaust method chosen by the
facility using the device.
[2] Analgesic Gas Patient Circuit
The optional Analgesic Gas Patient Circuit (01CV8028) can be
connected to the Equinox® II demand valve with its expiratory
tube attached to the exhaust system.
To apply,
• Remove the Non-rebreathing Patient Valve and the Diaphragm
(17MP1528) from the demand valve;
• Screw the 15/22mm housing adapter (provided with 01CV8028)
on to the demand valve. Attach the white inspiratory tube of
01CV8028 to the housing adapter;
• Attach the pink expiratory tube of 01CV8028 to the exhaust
system.
