 Waste Gas Management 

  

  Long term exposure to excessive anesthetic gas can be toxic to personnel.  

 

Long term exposure to excessive anaesthetic gas can be toxic to personnel. It is important to limit exposure to 2 PPM, as recommended by NIOSH. When used properly, the E-Z Anaesthesia evacuation products and techniques will effectively reduce gas escape to less than 2 PPM.

EZ-258 ReFresh Charcoal Filter Canister

  • Passive evacuation works with the natural flow of the anaesthesia system pushing waste gas into the charcoal canister by following the path of least resistance

  • Provides effective filtration for induction chamber and breather waste gas

  • Filter absorbs isoflurane and allows clean air to pass into the room

  • Lasts twice as long as the standard filter canister

  • High efficiency charcoal absorbs 25% of its own weight in isoflurane

  • Easy to monitor canister weight indicates saturation point and need for filter change

  • Saturated canisters must be discarded when they reach weight capacity

Test Results

A third party testing facility compared the E-Z Anaesthesia ReFresh Filter with other commonly used filters. The facility introduced 2% isoflurane in medical air into each filter at a 1 litre/min flow rate. The test was terminated at the manufacturers’ recommended saturation point for each filter.

The ReFresh filter lasted over two times as long as the other filters with zero waste gas emissions. This translates to less waste, increased convenience and significant cost savings.
