Scavenging the
ACGO sample flow
A sample of the fresh gas is diverted to the O2 cell in the breathing
system to show the O2 numerics on the monitor display. This sample
flow should be scavenged when an auxiliary manual breathing circuit
is used with N2O or volatile anesthetics.
If scavenging is not connected, the sample flow is emptied into the
room.
To connect the scavenging:
1. Attach a circle breathing circuit to the inspiratory and expiratory
ports.
2. Occlude the circle circuit by connecting the Y-piece to the plug
located to the rear of the expiratory port.
3. Check for clinically correct settings.
4. Check the position of the Bag/Vent switch:
•
If the Bag/Vent switch is set to mechanical ventilation mode,
the bellows fills slowly with the sample flow. When the
bellows is full, the sample flow goes to the AGSS
(Mechanical ventilation does not start when ACGO switch is
set to ACGO).
•
If the Bag/Vent switch is set to bag mode, set the APL valve
to MIN and attach a bag. The bag fills slowly with the sample
flow. When the bag is full, the sample flow goes to the AGSS.
Scavenging from an
auxiliary manual
breathing circuit
Scavenge the exhaust if an auxiliary manual breathing circuit is used
with N2O or volatile anesthetics.
An auxiliary inlet is available for active and passive AGSS units. It
provides a female connection with 30 mm male - 30 mm male
connector (or a 30 mm male - 19 mm male connector) into the
auxiliary port under the breathing system.
Important
Do not use these connectors as an outlet for exhaust flow.
The auxiliary inlet is a convenience inlet to the air brake of active
AGSS units. There is a reservoir to capture exhaust flows higher than
the extract flow.
A separate exhaust hose is needed from the auxiliary manual
breathing circuit to the disposal point for all AGSS units.
Scavenging a gas
monitor sample flow
Sample gas from a gas monitor can be scavenged using the sample
gas return port or the AGSS. To scavenge from a gas monitor using
the sample gas return port, connect the tubing from the monitor to the
sample gas return port. To scavenge from a gas monitor using the
AGSS, connect tubing from the monitor to the male luer inlet on the
bottom of the AGSS underneath the breathing system.
