AGSS

Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging Systems

Technical Overview

Inhaled anaesthetic (exhaust) gases are considered a potential short-/ and long-term risk to medical staff working in operating theatres and other areas where nitrous oxide is used.
The AGSS (Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging Systems) were created as the first line of defence to protect medical staff against exposure to anaesthetic (exhaust)gases.
The GCE AGSS units are designed in accordance with the ISO 7396-2 and ISO 9170-2 to provide this protection in best possible way. The GCE AGSS is now available as part of the extensive GCE MCGS product portfolio.
GCE AGSS is available as active or passive type 1L.
