Testing the Vacuum Level
The maximum allowable negative pressure in the central scavenger system, immediately downstream of the
gas collecting assembly during normal administration of anesthesia, shall be tested at an excess gas flow rate
of zero and shall be 50 Pa (0.5 cm-H2O) or less.
Follow the instructions printed on the front of the manometer to test the vacuum level at every scavenging hose
throughout the entire central scavenger system. Repeat test with all scavenging hose connections open.
