AGS - Anesthetic Gas Scavenging Systems

Increased Safety

The second generation of the Anesthetic Gas Scavenging system by BeaconMedæs provides increased safety and user-friendliness. 

The Anesthetic Gas Scavenging System removes anesthetic gas mixtures in areas fitted with nitrous oxide terminal units like operating rooms. By virtue of its design, the active disposal system can produce high capture levels simply by connecting the terminal unit to the anesthetic breathing circuit via a receiver unit. This removal at the source eliminates the possible long term health hazards for the exposed medical staff.

User Friendliness

When designing the AGS plant, particular emphasis was placed on user friendliness. By introducing a robust skid mounted frame with improved component layout, several benefits are offered. Next to reduced footprint, the controls are placed on a user convenient height. Easy access of the components, results in improved usability and faster maintenance. The flow regulating valve is now adjustable from the outside, being placed on either side of the unit. The duplex units also allow servicing of one of the pumps, while the other remains in operation. Remote switches of the AGS can be installed at any convenient location either in or close to the operating and anaesthetic room. BeaconMedæs’ terminal units incorporate an adjustable orifice, which enables the flow to be adjusted to any standard.
