Anesthesia Gas Evacuation Jack for Sterile and Safe Medical Environments

The Anesthesia Gas Evacuation Jack is a vital component of the AGSS system used to remove residual anesthetic gases from hospital environments. Positioned between medical gas outlets and the AGSS pipework, this jack ensures that gases used during anesthesia are properly extracted to protect both patients and medical staff.

It is specially designed for use in operating rooms, intervention rooms, and delivery rooms, where various anesthetic gases are regularly used.

Purpose and Importance

During surgical procedures, the use of anesthetic gases can lead to harmful accumulation in the air if not properly evacuated. These gases may have long-term health risks for healthcare professionals if exposed over time.

The Anesthesia Gas Evacuation Jack forms the connection that channels these gases from the clinical zone to the central evacuation system, maintaining a clean and sterile environment.

Structural Role in AGSS Systems

This jack acts as both the spacer and socket in the AGSS pipeline, ensuring safe passage of gas without leaks. It does not include the vacuum shut-off valve, return valve, or filtration system, as these are integrated elsewhere in the system infrastructure.

It connects securely to the central AGSS pump system, allowing gases to be drawn away continuously through dual-directional pump operation.

Standards and Compliance

The Anesthesia Gas Evacuation Jack complies with international medical gas and anesthesia evacuation system standards:

• 93 42 EEC Medical Device Directive

• HTM 02 01 hospital technical guidelines

• EN ISO 7396 2 for anesthesia gas scavenging systems

This ensures the jack meets both clinical safety and performance requirements for global use.

Integration with Hospital Control Systems

This jack is part of a larger automated evacuation network, capable of interfacing with a central control panel. It supports:

• Continuous evacuation using two-way pumps

• Remote alarm transmission for fault detection

• Optional remote on and off switching from outside the room

This connectivity enhances system monitoring and operational efficiency within hospitals.
