The Purair 80 System Overview
The Purair 80 Active Gas Scavenging System
In large hospitals the AGSS system is powered by a central plant that has outlets at all
places in the building that anaesthesia systems are used.
In a number of smaller establishments and isolated places in general hospitals no such
outlet exists.
The use of the MEC Purair 80 is to provide the same facility and is installed in the room
where that anaesthesia system is to be used and the exhaust taken to a safe outside
disposal location.
Simplistically the PA80 system can be broken down into three component areas:
Plant (main fan)
Exhaust pipe work plumbed to the rear of the unit
Terminal outlet is provided on the front panel
The purpose of the system is to provide the extraction flow rates to remove waste
anaesthetic gases from the receiving unit reservoir. The role of the receiving unit is to
provide a safe interface between the patient and the extraction flow rates.
Standard / Measurement
ISO 7396-2 (2007)
Extraction Flow Rate
75 - 130 L/min
The extraction flow rate ensures that waste anaesthetic gases are adequately removed
from the system. The importance of this flow rate is that if it falls too low it may not be
sufficient for waste gas removal. This would lead to the waste gases spilling out from the
base of the receiving unit reservoir into the immediate working environment; if too high it
may lead to an increase of the induced flow at the patient connection port.
The PA80 is fitted with a Fan Failure warning device. Should the fan fail during use an
alarm will sound for at least 10 seconds regardless of the mains supply being the cause of
failure. If the supply is still available a red LED will be illuminated on the front panel.
The MANUFACTURER MEC Medical will make circuit diagrams available on request.

A typical installation should follow diagram 1 on page 12 using
the material shown in table 4above.
Ensure that when installed the air vents on the case are free from
obstruction and free movement of air is provided.
The pipe work should be installed with clips to the wall with
approximately 600mm between them
The pipe work should pass through the outer wall and turn downwards
and the outlet vent attached as shown in diagram 1 the vent outlet
should be at least 3 meters above the outside ground.
Connect the IEC power lead in to the back of the unit
Connect the elbow end on the flexible tubing to the exhaust port
on the back of the unit. Ensure the elbow is fully pushed on to
the unit
Once the flexible tube is connected, place the unit in its intended
place of use
Install exit pipe work from the open end of the flexible tube to
the required exit point
When installing this equipment position it such that the Electrical
supply can be turned off and the plug disconnected
The unit is not to be floor mounted and is to be sheltered from
liquid splashing in a cupboard or similar location.

Cleaning
The PA80 is not a sterile system but require periodic cleaning of all outer
surfaces with commonly used disinfectants, cleaning agents and
methods.
Do not use caustic substances such as trichloroethylene for cleaning
as it may damage the surfaces.
The components and materials of the PA80 are not compatible with
autoclaving and Ethylene Oxide sterilization processes.
When cleaning surfaces do not allow water ingress into the cabinet, it
could damage the electrical components and cause a fire risk
