AGSS (Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System)
Caution: If inhalational anesthetic agents are used it is important to ensure that the machine is
connected to a scavenging system as describe in the manual.
When the AGSS is connected to the rear of the system, the flowmeter on the front indicates the
rate of evacuation.The minimum level of evacuation flow is indicated by the floater being above the
dashed area, corresponding to a flow of approx. 25 l/min. If the central scavenging system is
inactive, the gases will be emitted into the room.
Emergency ventilation
Allows patient to be manually ventilated in case of system failure
(i.e mains power and battery) or other electronic failure and is
accessible behind cover on front of machine. Replaces fresh gas
flow (with 100% O
2
) and electronic APL function.
During emergency ventilation the system cannot deliver anesthetic
agents.
Alarms and monitoring
An anesthesia machine is designed for presence of a trained specialist by it´s side.
There are no lamps or remote monitoring, once an alarm is no longer valid it is not audible
or visible anymore and the sound of the alarms in general are lower than an ICU-ventilator.
Taking this into consideration it is crucial that the clinician in charge has full control of the screen
for the visual alarms and the sound turned up to 100%.
Alarm limits will need to be adapted for each patient.
