Flow-i Anesthesia Machine
Flow-i Anesthesia Machine
Advanced anesthesia for all procedures, from neonates to the morbidly obese.
The Flow-i combines superior ventilation performance with smart decision support tools in an easy to use workstation. The Flow-i lets you treat even your most challenging patients with safe, lung-protective and cost-efficient ventilation and anesthetic care.
Overview
When developing the Flow-i, we have built on our insight and expertise as a world-leading manufacturer of Servo ventilators, enabling us to develop unique, innovative technology. Technology that combines high power with high sensitivity and accuracy to gently optimize gas exchange in the lungs and minimize the risk of complications. Flow-i is powerful and reliable, and the same time easy to use.
Next-generation technology at the core
Ventilation performance is not only about modes, but most importantly to ensure the power and precision to ventilate all patient categories. At the heart of the Flow-i you'll find the innovative Flow Core Technology providing superior ventilation performance – power when you need it, yet gentle on the lungs. [1]
- Proven ICU Servo gas modules
- delivering up to 200 l/min inspiratory flow, and adjusting pressure and flow several times within every breath, depending on patient needs.
- Unique and rigid Volume Reflector rebreathing system
- facilitating up to 98% rebreathing. The Volume Reflector is never empty in order to provide uninterrupted ventilation, and will effectively compensate leakages. It is oxygen-driven thus minimizing the risk for hypoxic mixtures.
- Electronic injection vaporizers
- for more precise delivery of agents.
Easy to use and smart by design
The intuitive 15” rotatable and tiltable touchscreen is straightforward to understand and use, and lets you control everything from one place saving time. The Flow-i is easy to move, position and configure and it can be placed anywhere around the OR table, ensuring the screen is in reach. With flexible mounting options for both monitors and accessories, you can truly personalize your workstation.
“Flow-i is so easy to use, training new staff and external consultants is made much easier…”
Clinician during testing
Invitation to interactive low-flow anesthesia course
During 1.5 days you will learn that, with the right knowledge and equipment, low- and minimal flow anesthesia is safe and easy to use, saving time and anesthetic agents. The course content includes theoretical presentations, hands-on animal workshops and demo during live surgery.
Join us in Gent, Belgium 8-9 Nov, 2018!
Features
Better patient outcome and workflow
Safe and efficient low-flow anesthesia with AGC
Automatic Gas Control (AGC) is designed to reach the target end-tidal anesthetic agent you set, at the speed desired. AGC greatly reduces agent usage and the need for manual adjustments providing cost-efficient low-flow anesthesia.
Battle atelectasis with stepwise lung recruitment
Stepwise and automated lung recruitment with Flow-i aims to gently open the alveoli. Breath-by-breath compliance, trending the effect of the maneuver can be monitored in real time.
Reduce the risk of hypoxia with O2Guard
Unlike hypoxic guards in conventional anesthesia machines, O₂Guard actively intervenes if the inspired oxygen concentration drops below 21%, reducing the risk of hypoxic mixtures.
Models
Flow-i C20
The Flow-i C20 provides you with the extra storage you need. Choose between two or three drawers.
Flow-i C30
Flow-i C30 is unique in its height adjustability. Combined with a vast mounting and positioning flexibility you can tailor the machine to suite your working position.
Flow-i C40
Flow-i C40 is ceiling mounted, offering a two-part circulating radius, which results in a wide spatial range for the unit. The C40 facilitates cleaning and thus contributes to infection control.
