GE Healthcare Welcome to the future of anaesthesia. The Aisys* Carestation*
It s the way you practice. Uncompromised in everything you do. Your role in the acute care space has broadened and deepened. Diverse patient types and co-morbidities make your world challenging. At the same time, technological advancements promise to improve the quality of care while lowering costs. Your challenges may include intubating difficult airways, monitoring and treating paediatric patients, understanding the effect of drugs, and ensuring consistent quality of care across all skill levels. Outside of the operating environment, you re managing patient pain and sedation, diagnosing patients through the critical pre- and postoperative periods. You are also more aware of the cost pressures and need to drive operating efficiencies. And through it all, you must remain calm in stressful situations, warm and caring to ease the patient s anxiety. How do you do it? You ve told us that there s only one way. You must be uncompromised in everything you do.
You demand a simpler solution that brings order to the daily challenges you face. There s a way to engineer the future of anaesthesia delivery solutions and that way is to design it around you. Designed around you. Ventilation for a wide range of patients You asked for a way to meet the needs of a variety of patient types, including those that require intensive ventilation, such as older, heavier, and paediatric patients. Control at your fingertips You asked for solutions that are simple, integrated, organized, and easy to use. Service and support You asked for simplified, reliable, and predictable service and support that helps protect your investment. Seamless monitoring You asked for the right clinical information, when and where you need it, enabling you to make decisions more rapidly and manage information and care across the entire enterprise. Total cost of ownership designed to require low maintenance You asked for high-quality, cost-effective solutions that require less maintenance and drive workflow efficiency (actual costs are dependent on practice). Scalability You asked for technology, software, support, and solutions that adapt as your needs evolve. Information management You asked for integrated, connected, and intuitive information management systems that drive improved quality. Safety and security You asked for a trusted partner with a track record of success in the perioperative space. Drug delivery You asked for technology to support precise drug delivery, digital gas measurement and your ability to practice anaesthesia using a wide range of fresh gas flow rates.
Carestation.
Aisys Carestation. Designed for you, the Aisys Carestation is an anaesthesia delivery management solution that is taking the clinical world by storm. Our most advanced Carestation, the Aisys Carestation performs like a vigilant partner, managing routine but critical perioperative tasks without tiring. This allows you to focus attention on your patient, use your time more efficiently and improve your workflow while providing solutions that are designed with total cost of ownership in mind. With the Aisys Carestation, you are planning for the future while protecting your investment. The Aisys Carestation s track record as a modular and upgradeable solution has brought emerging technologies into everyday practice, including Et Control**, advanced ventilation modes, lung mechanics ventilation procedures and paediatric capabilities. Integrated Intelligent Precise All three of the anaesthesia delivery system s primary elements ventilator, vaporizer, and gas delivery are digitally controlled and measured, so you can fully integrate devices, therapies and information systems at the point of need. The Aisys Carestation provides measured information in real time and trended data to your information systems and patient electronic medical records. It also lays the groundwork for innovative patient care solutions, such as GE Healthcare s Navigator * Applications Suite. The Aisys Carestation precisely measures gases and agents, alarming for low agent levels and accurately records agent consumption which, along with the low volume and architecture of the breathing system, helps you utilize lower flow rates.
Patient Monitoring The CARESCAPE* Monitor B650 combines the features and functionalities you need to provide exceptional OR care including clinically excellent algorithms that deliver a wide range of anaesthesia dedicated measurement. The OR-dedicated software options are designed to meet your specific monitoring needs. The combination of CARESCAPE Monitor B650 with portable CARESCAPE Patient Data Module or Patient Side Module enable, seamless digital patient data transfer to the post anaesthesia care unit and extensive transport capability for critically ill patients. Adequacy of Anaesthesia Adequate anaesthesia results from a balance of various components. It therefore needs to be assessed with more than only one parameter. Entropy is used together with other monitored parameters, such as haemodynamics, NMT and SPI** to provide clinicians with a full picture of the patient status during anaesthesia.. Navigator Navigator Applications Suite software is a smart technology that analyzes drug therapy information to help model and predict the effect of supported anaesthesia-related drugs and drug interactions. Navigator helps provide valuable information to support you in optimizing patient management based on your clinical judgment. Et Control** Et Control** provides target control of volatile agent and patient oxygen, with an intelligent hypoxic guard, ensuring minimum O 2 is delivered. Centricity Anaesthesia** Centricity* provides high-quality integration with data collection from medical devices and seamless integration with hospital information systems, helping clinicians to see the patient data clearly and accurately. Advanced Breathing System (ABS) At a small volume of 2.7 liters, the advanced breathing system of the Aisys Carestation helps drive industry-leading wash-in, wash-out times, and fast-response times. Ventilation Management Among the leading anaesthesia system manufacturers, only GE brings premium digital flow valve technology similar to its critical care ventilator as standard to all of its current anaesthesia ventilation solutions. Electronic Gas Mixing Setting the standard for electronic anaesthesia gas mixing systems by offering a 500 millisecond mixer response time, even during dramatic flow changes. Dual flow sensing technology helps ensure safe operation as gas flow is checked up to 200 times per second.
Platformed by Design Scaleable platformed clinical Carestations Platformed display, platformed ventilation modes, platformed safety features, platformed user interface, platformed parts and servicing.
