Model 4844 Scavenging "Pop-Off" Valve

Model 4844 Model 4844

Clinical Use

The most important component of the scavenging system is the "pop-off" valve. This valve must function effectively as a "pop-off" and as a vehicle to conduct excess anesthetic gas to a ventilation grill or suction source. It attaches directly to any anesthesia machine or to the common mask systems through a scavenging adapter. Our valve design meets these requirements.
