Description
Efficient removal of waste anesthetic gases with dual-capacity models for varying suction flow requirements
The Comen AGSS-H/AGSS-L Anesthetic Gas Scavenging Systems are designed to ensure safe evacuation of waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) such as N₂O, sevoflurane and isoflurane from the operating room ventilation circuit, protecting both patients and clinicians and ensuring compliance with air-quality standards. Model AGSS-H is optimized for exhaust gas pipes with flow rates above ~75 L/min, while AGSS-L is designed for flow rates under ~50 L/min—allowing tailoring to different OR infrastructures. These systems reduce negative-pressure disturbances in the ventilation circuit, are compatible with jet-type or negative-pressure exhaust ducts, require no separate gas or power supply or chemical consumables, and adopt a plug-and-play installation that integrates with major anesthesia workstation brands.
Key Features & Technical Highlights
• Dual-model configuration (AGSS-H ≥ 75 L/min, AGSS-L ≤ 50 L/min) — ensures correct matching to hospital duct-flow capacity for optimal scavenging.
• Passive physical gas extraction (no external gas/power/chemicals) — enhances reliability and reduces maintenance and operating costs.
• Compatible with jet AGS ducts, negative-pressure AGS ducts and multiple anesthesia machine interfaces — simplifies integration across OR environments.
• Minimises circuit ventilation abnormalities caused by negative pressure in exhaust gas ducts — maintains ventilation stability and improves patient safety.
• Rapid commissioning with dedicated connection solutions for major anesthesia machine brands — accelerates deployment and reduces downtime.
Workflow & Clinical Use
Installed alongside anesthesia workstations, the AGSS-H/AGSS-L streamlines waste-gas evacuation by matching system capacity to duct-flow rates, thereby reducing clinician burden, enhancing ambient air quality and preserving ventilation circuit integrity across surgical cases.
