Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System in Zambia
Leading Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System Supplier

An Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) is a critical safety mechanism designed to capture and safely remove waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) that are exhaled by patients during surgical procedures and other medical interventions requiring anesthesia. These WAGs, primarily composed of potent anesthetic agents and oxygen, can pose significant health risks to healthcare professionals if not properly managed. An AGSS functions by actively drawing these waste gases away from the patient's breathing circuit and the immediate operating room environment, typically through a dedicated ventilation system or directly to an external exhaust. This process is essential for maintaining air quality and minimizing occupational exposure.

Ensuring the safety and well-being of both patients and healthcare professionals is paramount in any medical facility. In Zambia, the implementation of Anesthesia Gas Scavenging Systems (AGSS) is crucial for a range of healthcare settings where anesthetic gases are utilized. These systems are vital in mitigating the risks associated with waste anesthetic gases (WAGs), which can pose health hazards if not effectively managed.

Our commitment to providing state-of-the-art anesthesia gas scavenging systems (AGSS) in Zambia extends to a seamless and comprehensive installation process. We understand the critical importance of a properly functioning AGSS for patient and staff safety, and our experienced technicians ensure every system is installed to the highest standards.

Site Preparation: Prior to delivery, our team will work with your facility to ensure optimal site preparation. This typically involves:

• Identifying suitable locations for the central vacuum source and exhaust points, ensuring adequate ventilation and compliance with local regulations.

• Confirming necessary electrical outlets and power supply are readily accessible.

• Clearing any obstructions in the planned installation pathway.

• Coordinating with your facility's maintenance and biomedical engineering departments to minimize disruption to ongoing operations.

Delivery: Your AGSS components will be delivered directly to your facility by our logistics partners. Our team will carefully unload and inspect all equipment to confirm it matches your order and is free from any transit damage. We can arrange for phased delivery if required for larger or more complex systems.

Installation Steps: Our certified technicians will execute a meticulous installation process, which generally includes:

• Mounting the Central Vacuum Source: Securely installing the primary vacuum pump or other central vacuum generation equipment.

• Piping and Tubing Network: Establishing the necessary network of pipes and tubing to connect anesthesia machines to the vacuum source and exhaust. This includes ensuring leak-proof connections and proper insulation where applicable.

• Scavenger Interface Installation: Connecting the AGSS interface at the patient's breathing circuit, ensuring compatibility with your existing anesthesia machines.

• Exhaust Venting: Safely routing the exhaust to an appropriate external location, adhering to environmental and safety guidelines.

• Electrical Connections: Making all necessary electrical connections for power and control systems, performed by qualified electricians.

• System Integration: Connecting all components to form a fully integrated and functional system.

Calibration and Commissioning: Once installation is complete, rigorous calibration and commissioning are performed. This ensures the AGSS meets or exceeds all performance specifications and regulatory requirements.

Calibration Requirements:

• Flow Rate Verification: Measuring and adjusting vacuum flow rates at various points to ensure optimal scavenging capacity.

• Pressure Monitoring: Calibrating and verifying pressure sensors to ensure correct system operation and safety alerts.

• Alarm System Testing: Thoroughly testing all audible and visual alarms for low vacuum, high vacuum, and other critical parameters.

• Leak Testing: Conducting comprehensive leak tests on the entire system to guarantee no fugitive emissions.

• Performance Benchmarking: Comparing actual system performance against manufacturer specifications and industry standards.

Upon successful calibration and commissioning, our technicians will provide a detailed handover, including user training and system documentation, ensuring your team is confident in operating and maintaining the new AGSS.

The cost of an Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) in Zambia can vary significantly based on several factors, including whether the unit is new or refurbished, the manufacturer, its specific features and capacity, and the supplier. For new systems, you can anticipate a price range generally between K150,000 to K500,000 ZMW, and potentially higher for advanced, high-end models with integrated monitoring and sophisticated filtration.

Refurbished AGSS units offer a more budget-friendly alternative, typically ranging from K70,000 to K250,000 ZMW. It's crucial to ensure that any refurbished system has been thoroughly inspected, serviced by qualified technicians, and comes with a warranty to guarantee its functionality and safety standards.

When evaluating pricing, consider not only the initial purchase cost but also ongoing expenses such as maintenance, filter replacements, and any necessary installation or training services.
