Isn't that the whole idea behind a getter?
The idea behind the getter is to clean up and gas that might be
trapped in the metal elements during pumpdown. A getter is really not
to clean up gases that sneak in thru the glass metal seals - the
getters just are not that effective, and as any plumber will tell you,
leaks only get bigger.
