Scavenging safety valves

Due to the potential danger of excessive pressure caused by a blockage in the AGSS

transfer tube, the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency UK)
issued a Medical Device Alert (MDA/2010/021) calling for the inclusion of a safety
1972001
pressure relief valve.

Subsequently the European and International standard EN ISO 80601-2-13

Anaesthetic workstation in section 201.103.3.2.1 has been updated to relect this alert.

Wherever there is a 30mm port on the anaesthetic breathing system, for example
on the exhaust outlet of the APL valve, or any gas exhaust port of the anaesthetic

machine, ventilator or absorber, one of these valves must be itted as a safeguard in 1972000
case of an occlusion in the transfer tube.
