Overview

Innovations

Our unique anesthesia technology makes the difference

MAC Brain
- better anesthetic agent dosing

For more precise control of depth of anesthesia we created MAC Brain. A unique tool thart visualizes the difference in agent concentration between the lungs and the target organ, the brain. The reliability of the data puts you in control, letting you plan and deliver more efficient dosing of agent with safety and ease. Not only does this mean less risk of over- or underdosing, but reduced use of agent saves money and impacts less on the environment. [1] [2] [3]

O₂Guard - active hypoxia prevention

Our O₂Guard is the world’s only system for active hypoxia prevention. Should the inspired oxygen level drop below 21%, the O₂Guard automatically overrules the settings and increases the flow of oxygen. The risk of hypoxia is minimized. [4] [5]

O₂Guard

Lung recruitment - gentle steps against atelectasis

Our lung recruitment maneuvers have become the tool of choice to counter atelectasis, to improve oxygenation and help prevent postoperative complications. What once was considered complex and time consuming is now seamlessly integrated into your workflow. [6] [7]

Recruitment maneuvers

ICU ventilation performance and anesthesia delivery

Ventilation performance to ICU standards

Innovative Flow Core Technology is designed to promote efficient agent usage, providing the power and precision to ventilate even the most challenging patients. This is due to the combination of our Volume Reflector with its smart re-breathing system and our proven ICU ventilation Servo gas modules, adjusting pressure and flow constantly within every breath. [8] [9] [10] [11]

Ventilation performance

Automatic Gas Control (AGC) - safe and easy low-flow anesthesia

Automatic Gas Control (AGC) makes low-flow anesthesia delivery safe. With simple pre-settings, specifying the targeted inspired oxygen, end-tidal anesthetic agent levels and required speed, AGC solves the rest. Our innovation offers high precision combined with improved comfort and increased safety. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
