A conservation valve for use with a collection system for collecting an anaesthetic agent. The valve includes a valve body having a fluid passageway that allows exhaust gas to flow to the collection system. A sensor located upstream of the valve body detects a percentage content of a particular compound within the exhaust gas so as to indicate the presence or absence of an anaesthetic agent within the exhaust gas. A processor operates an actuator located downstream of the sensor to selectively open and close the fluid passageway. Specifically, the processor opens the fluid passageway when the percentage content is indicative of the anaesthetic agent being present so as to allow collection of the anaesthetic agent, and closes the fluid passageway when the percentage content is indicative of the anaesthetic agent being absent so as to isolate the exhaust gas from the collection system.

Manifold system and method for compressed medical gases
A manifold system is provided herein. The manifold is operative to automatically switch between an In-Use supply of compressed gas to a Reserve supply of compressed gas. The manifold system is constructed so that after it has been installed, it may be converted for use in other applications such as between compressed gas cylinders and portable bulk liquefied gas. The system may include low wattage electric heater which are mechanically held in direct contact with the valve seat body housing of the primary regulators. The direct contact of the heaters with the valve seat is operative to prevent the primary regulator valve seat from freezing up. The manifold system may include transducers at a plurality of points in the system. A processor is operative to control one or more solenoids to switch supplies of compressed gas and to trigger alarms responsive to the outputs of the transducers.
