The Cardiff Aldavac anaesthetic-scavenging system
Abstract:
The Cardiff Aldavac system consists of a reservoir, adsorption canister, flow restrictor and the necessary pipe connections. It enables theatre pollution control without structural alteration or special installation. It utilizes the hospital piped medical vacuum system but protects the system from excessive flows or contamination by volatile anaesthetics and still allows the vacuum to be used for other purposes.
