I just bought this practice, and the Doctor obviously used a passive system. Could I use the same system, as there is 1/2 inch PVC pipe extending through my walls to the outside?
Passive systems are not advised because of several inherent problems. First of all, they are subject to atmospheric conditions such as wind passing across the exhaust, which creates a vacuum that will siphon off excessive amounts of anesthetic gas. When disconnecting the machine for movement, the waste gas still in the tubing will contaminate the office above OSHA ‘s limits.
