The Porter eAVS (Electronic Automatic Vacuum Switch) system is an advanced accessory designed to work seamlessly with the Porter Midas™ Digital Touchscreen Flowmeter, offering healthcare professionals precise, automated control over the scavenging of exhaled nitrous oxide during conscious sedation procedures.
- Precision Scavenger Control: The eAVS provides electronic regulation of vacuum flow rates, ensuring efficient removal of exhaled waste anaesthetic gases from the patient breathing circuit. This helps maintain ambient nitrous oxide concentrations below recommended exposure limits, supporting compliance with safety standards such as the ACGIH-recommended 50 ppm threshold.
- Integrated Safety: The system incorporates a valve to control vacuum flow, an airflow sensor for real-time measurement, and a control board that communicates directly with the Midas Flowmeter. Audible and visual alerts notify operators of system status or any deviations, enhancing patient and staff safety.
- User-Friendly Interface: The Porter Midas Flowmeter features a digital touchscreen with intuitive Touch and Slide™ controls, allowing clinicians to easily adjust gas concentrations and flow rates. The eAVS can be managed directly from the touchscreen, with on-screen feedback for scavenger flow rates.
- Automated and Reliable: By automating the scavenging process, the eAVS reduces manual intervention, lowers the risk of operator error, and ensures consistent performance throughout procedures.
- Flexible Installation: The eAVS is compatible with various vacuum controllers and integrates smoothly into both portable and remote-mount configurations of the Midas Flowmeter system. Its compact design (5cm in W x 8cm H x 17cm D) allows for easy installation in a variety of clinical settings.
- Data and Connectivity: Procedure data can be exported via the Porter Midas App and iPad™, supporting digital record-keeping and compliance documentation.
