Abstract
A medical system can include a medical gas duct comprising a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first opening at the first end of the duct, and a second opening at the second end of the duct. The first opening can be positioned to receive medical gas exiting an exhaust port of a medical gas evacuation unit. On the condition a medical suction supply provides a suction at the second opening of the duct, medical gas exiting the exhaust port of the medical gas evacuation unit flows into the first opening of the duct. Devices, systems, and methods relate to evacuating medical gasses.
