The S/5 Aespire Passive AGSS
(Anesthesia Gas Scavenging
System) consists of a two-liter
reservoir to minimize rapid
pressure changes. It contains
both positive and negative
pressure relief valves to protect
the breathing system. The outlet
is a 30 mm connector on the bottom of the reservoir.
There is also a connector that may be used for scavenging the sample from a
gas monitor. The inlet connection is near the 30 mm connector.
Passive AGSS is intended primarily for use in operating room environments
which have no dedicated vacuum system for waste gas disposal. The disposal
system generally consists of large diameter tubing and/or duct directly linking
the passive AGSS with the building exterior. The tubing should be as large in
diameter and as short as needed for the particular application.
Passive AGSS may also 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, such as to an exhaust grill.
There are at least four versions of the optional active AGSS (Anesthesia Gas
Scavenging System) available depending on the hospital's type of waste gas
disposal system.
The active low flow system is for use with high vacuum disposal systems. It
requires a vacuum system capable of a continuous nominal flow of 36 L/min
and 300 mm Hg (12 in Hg) or greater vacuum pressure. A flow indicator on the
system indicates when the unit is in operation.
The active high flow system is for use with low vacuum (blower type) disposal
systems. This requires a system capable of providing a continuous nominal
flow of 50 L/min. A flow indicator on the system indicates when the unit is in
operation.
