Anesthetic gas scavenging system AGSS

Overview
Discover the Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) Duplex, a compact vacuum package engineered to remove waste anaesthetic gases from operating rooms and areas with medical gas terminal units. The system uses side-channel blower technology to provide low heat emission, energy efficiency and quiet operation suitable for installation close to care areas.

Protecting Patients and Professionals
The AGSS is designed to ensure reliable collection and removal of waste anaesthetic gases, protecting patients and healthcare personnel. It is suitable for continuous operation in clinical environments and integrates with hospital gas distribution infrastructure.

Key Benefits

• Safe evacuation of waste anaesthetic gases from operating theatres and gas terminal units
• Compact footprint enabling installation near points of care
• Energy-efficient operation with low heat emission
• Quiet performance to preserve patient comfort and recovery environment
• Delivered with inlet/exhaust check valves and copper pipeline-ready connections

Duplex AGSS Pump System
The Duplex configuration provides options to match installation requirements:

• GSE model: intended for standard duty and typical differential pressure scenarios
• GSH model: designed for higher differential pressure applications or installations at a distance from source points

Drive & Power Options

• Available with 50 Hz and 60 Hz motor options
• Optional Variable Speed Drive (VSD) for enhanced energy control and operational flexibility

Compliance & Certification
The AGSS is built to meet recognized medical standards and system requirements for safe hospital operation:

• Compliant with ISO 7396-2:2016
• Compliant with HTM 02-01
• Meets Medical CE standards

Controls, Monitoring & Safety

• Optional remote control panel supporting up to 15 panels for distributed management
• Integrated alarms and Building Management System (BMS) output for remote monitoring and fault notification
• Pre-set vacuum and integrated pressure-balance valve options to optimise system performance

Operation & Technology
The AGSS collects waste anaesthetic gases via dedicated piping and check valves, conveys them to the Duplex side-channel blower pumps and evacuates them safely. Systems are fully tested and certified prior to dispatch to ensure leak-free, reliable operation.

Applications

• Operating rooms and surgical suites
• Recovery areas and rooms with medical gas terminal units
• Any healthcare environment requiring compliant scavenging of anaesthetic gases
