Anaesthesia system

Intended purpose

The Perseus anesthesia workstation is intended for use in anesthetizing adults, children, and neonates and can be used for automatic and manual ventilation, pressure-supported spontaneous breathing, and spontaneous breathing. Perseus is equipped with airway monitoring, gas measurement and device monitoring, O2 insufflation, and an anesthetic gas receiving system. Anesthesia is achieved through a mixture of pure oxygen and Air (medical compressed air) or pure oxygen and nitrous oxide, with the addition of volatile anesthetic agents. Ventilation is accomplished on the patient through a laryngeal mask airway, a full-face mask, or an endotracheal tube. The integrated breathing system can be used with partial rebreathing (low-flow or minimum-flow). A non-rebreathing system such as the Kuhn or Medec Water System may be used at the external fresh-gas outlet (optional).
