Flow-e is Getinge's extended anesthesia machine that ensures efficient ventilation performance and personalized care in the OR.
Getinge Flow-e anesthesia machine is our extended model with a larger worktop and more storage space

Extended functionality in the OR

Flow-e delivers personalized anesthesia for a wide range of patients suitable for complex cases as well as general procedures.

  • Ventilation performance to ICU standards
  • Safe low-flow anesthesia with Automatic Gas Control
  • MAC Brain for improved control of depth of anesthesia
  • Active hypoxia prevention with O2Guard
  • Lung Recruitment Maneuvers to prevent postoperative complications

Our unique anesthesia technology makes the difference

 

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]

 

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. [11] [12]

User-friendly anesthesia machine in the OR

Our unique anesthesia technology makes the difference

AGC Anesthesia Flow

Automatic Gas Control (AGC)

Safe and easy low-flow anesthesia

Automatic Gas Control (AGC) makes low-flow anesthesia delivery safe. It is an option uniquely available with Flow-i machines. Automation eliminates the need of continuous manual adjustments: 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]

o2guard anesthesia flow

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. [7]

Mac brain anesthesia flow

MAC Brain

Better anesthetic agent dosing

For more precise control of depth of anesthesia, we created MAC Brain. A unique tool that visualizes the difference in agent concentration between the lungs and the target organ, the brain. [8] [9] [10]

Lung recruitment flow anesthesia

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. [11] [12]

Ventilation anesthesia flow

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. [13] [14] [15]

User-friendly anesthesia machine in the OR

Developed together with clinicians, the extended Flow-e anesthesia machine is designed to facilitate a great scope for configuration and patient safety. With an intuitive interface and emphasis on ease of use [16], our anesthesia solutions ensure a streamlined workflow and efficiency in the operating room that offers enhanced cost control and resource management.
