The Pop-Off Valve That Could Save a Life – Now on Promo

06/10/2025

Safety First: Upgrade to the Smart Pop-Off Valve This Quarter

Veterinary anesthesia safety starts with the right equipment – especially when staffing changes are constant and procedures are frequent. The Safety Pop-Off Valve from Vetamac is designed to prevent critical mistakes without compromising compatibility or performance.

Why Choose the Safety Pop-Off Valve?

  • Universal Compatibility: Works with all waste gas evacuation systems on the market.
  • Fits all anesthesia machines (some units may require an adapter).
  • Built-in Pressure Release Mechanism to allow momentary closure without the risks of a locked valve.
  • Helps prevent accidental patient deaths due to forgotten closed valves – ideal for training environments or new staff.

Performance You Can Trust:

  • Opening Pressure:
    • 1LPM flow = 1.6–1.7 cm/H₂O
    • 4LPM flow = 2.0–2.1 cm/H₂O
    • Trumpet valve depressed = 20–22 cm/H₂O
  • Reliable Seal: Unlike other options, our guarentee is this one won’t leak.

Perfect for:

  • Clinics with frequent staff turnover

  • Training new veterinary technicians

  • Adding a redundant layer of safety to every anesthetic procedure

How to install the Safety Pop-Off valve?

Installation:

  • Remove old POV, verify the threads in the anesthesia machine are free from debris.
  • Verify threads on old POV match threads on new safety POV (There will be some anesthesia machines needing an additional adapter; please work with your Vetamac Service Technician on the appropriate adapter).
  • Install new Vetamac Safety POV in its place.

Functionality:

  • Eliminate the potential for human error forgetting the adjustable knob closed and POV building up unsafe pressure to patient.

  • Close the adjustable knob and press occlusion valve to completely occlude Safety valve.

  • Can pressure test anesthesia machine, circuit and bag at higher pressures to eliminate potential WAG exposure.

  • Press the occlusion valve only and pressure releases in the valve at 20 cmH2O.

  • Functions appropriate for use with various active WAG scavenger interfaces and systems.

Pressure Test Guidelines

  1. Occlude the inspiratory, expiratory and rebreathing bag port.

  2. Close the adjustable knob of the pop-off valve, hold down the occlusion valve or put the safety cap on.

  3. Using the flowmeter (DO NOT USE THE FLUSH VALVE), increase the pressure on the manometer to 30 cm/H2O. Turn the oxygen off.

  4. Observe the manometer for 30 seconds.

  5. If the manometer remains at 30 cm/H2O, the equipment is safe to use. If the manometer increases in pressure, there is a significant oxygen leak in the flowmeter or flush valve and needs to be corrected before using the machine.

  6. If the manometer pressure begins to drop, set the oxygen flow at 200cc/minute and observe the manometer. The pressure on the manometer should remain constant or rise. If the manometer continues to drop there is a leak in the equipment which needs to be isolated and corrected before using the machine.

  7. If a leak is detected, turn off oxygen cylinder or disconnect equipment. Contact your Vetamac service technician for assistance.
