Equinox® II Analgesic Gas Delivery System

706 views • Jul 20, 2018 • The use of a Breathing System Filter or BSF (commonly available in all hospitals) placed between the facemask or bite block, and the Equinox® II Demand Valve, removes the need to disassemble and disinfect the patient valve and diaphragm. Any pathogens present in the expired air are removed by the filter eliminating the risk of cross infection.

After each patient use, the Universal Facemask should be disinfected. A disposable facemask or bite block should be discarded. The outside of the demand valve body, gas supply tubing and patient valve can simply be wiped over with a hard surface disinfect in line with standard department protocols. Not only does the use of a BSF significantly reduce the downtime of the device between patients, it also limits the need for replacement parts (diaphragm and Patient Valve Housing) for the device.

The use of standard respiratory disposables also removes the need to stock proprietary items which have only one use.

NOTE: Only filters complying with ISO 23328 should be used.
