Device description

A device with a handle used to plug the end of an anesthesia circuit/breathing circuit at two possible locations: the Y-piece or the gas sampling elbow. The temporary plugging of the anesthesia breathing circuit allows anesthetic gases to be flushed from the anesthesia machine through the WAG (waste anesthetic gas) scavenging line by way of continuous oxygen/air flow rate over a set amount of time, or by activating the flush valve and applying positive bag pressure in repeated succession. This practice reduces the amount of anesthetic gas released into the operating room and thus reduces harmful gas exposure to operating room personnel and premature anesthetic gas exposure to patients during preoxygenation or mask induction.There is no patient contact as the plug must be removed before the breathing circuit can be attached to a mask, endo/naso-tracheal tube, or any other breathing device.
