Scavenging "Pop-Off" Valve

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.

  • Only two moving parts, no springs or diaphragms
  • Variable flow geometry for optimal control
  • Universally adaptable to virtually any anesthesia machine
  • Easy installation on existing machines (estimate 5 minutes with provided wrench)
  • May be used with wall suction (using Scavenger-Vacuum Safety Interface, Model 5300)
