3.7.1 Sample gas exhaust
Preventing operation room pollution
When N
should be prevented. Connect the sample gas outlet of the monitor to the scavenging system
or return it to the patient circuit.
NOTE: The sample gas from the E-miniC/ M-miniC can only be connected to the scavenging,
not returned to the patient circuit.
Connect the sample gas outlet of the monitor to the scavenging system either
•
through the ventilator, or
•
directly to the vacuum scavenging system.
CAUTION
Strong scavenging suction may change the operating pressure of the Airway
Module and cause inaccurate readings or internal damage. To prevent this,
there must for example be an opening to room air.
Connect the sample gas outlet only to an open scavenging system where gas is removed in
room pressure.
Scavenging through the ventilator reservoir
Figure 11
1.
Connect an exhaust line to the sample gas outlet on the module's front panel.
2.
Attach the other end of the line to the ventilator reservoir. Make sure that the reservoir
tube diameter is at least 2 - 3 times larger than the exhaust line.
Scavenging through the anesthesia gas scavenging system
Anesthesia machines are equipped with an anesthesia gas scavenging system (AGSS), and in
some machines the sample gas outlet can be connected directly to that.
For example, connect the sample gas outlet to the S/5 Avance:
O or volatile anesthetics are used, pollution of the operation room by these gases
