The Flow-c Anaesthesia System combines inhalation anaesthesia delivery with ventilatory support for patients from neonates to adults. It is part of a software-controlled, semi-closed system family using anaesthetic gases or vapours such as sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane and nitrous oxide.
A central core mixes and administers the gases, while the user interface sets the treatment parameters and displays ventilation and anaesthesia information. The system coordinates gas delivery and monitoring as part of the anaesthesia workflow.
Ventilation Information
The subject family includes displays of end-inspiratory pressure, positive end-expiratory pressure and dynamic compliance to support lung recruitment manoeuvres. These functions provide information for the operator during ventilation.
