GSS-S is an active system that removes mixtures of anesthetic gases from operating rooms and any other rooms equipped with nitrous oxide termination devices. Thus, the removal of gases eliminates possible long-term risks to the health of medical personnel. Due to its design, the active removal system can provide a high level of capture by simply connecting the terminal block to the anesthetic breathing circuit through the receiver unit, thereby removing most of the "contamination" in the source.
The GSS system is activated by a switch on the front panel of the control cabinet. It is low-noise and can be installed in any convenient place: right in the anesthesia room or next to it.
Improvements in the design of anesthesia workstations have led to a reduction in the gas flows used and, consequently, less potential "spill" of gas during induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
The table below compares the three main standards used for anaesthetic gas removal systems.
| Standard | ΔP, kPa (mbar) | Capacity, l/min (m3/h) |
|---|---|---|
| BS 6834: 1987 | 1 (10) | Max 130 (7,8) |
| 4 (40) | Min 80 (4,8) | |
| EN ISO 7396-2 - High Flow | 1 (10) | Max 80 (4,8) |
| 2 (20) | Min 50 (3,0) | |
| EN ISO 7396-2 - Low Flow | 1 (10) | Max 50 (3,0) |
| 2 (20) | Min 25 (1,5) |
The GSS-BS and GSS-BD systems comply with the requirements of HTM 2022, HTM 02-01 and ISO 7396-2 standards.
