Flow-c Anesthesia Machine
Flow-c is the compact, easy-to-use dynamic workstation, enabling cost-efficient treatment. The compact design is an advantage in a crowded OR with a busy schedule. Despite its small size, it has Flow Family advantages such as high-performance ventilation, precision agent dosing, hypoxia prevention technologies, an intuitive user interface, and several mounting options.
- The Flow core technology for excellent ventilation performance
- MAC Brain – visualizing agent concentration in the target organ
- Low flow anesthesia with a FGF (Fresh Gas Flow) limit of 0.1 l/min, and with visual guidance
- Active hypoxic guard, the O2Guard, for added safety
- Intuitive touch screen, tiltable and rotatable
- Compact to fit in any OR space, yet with flexible mounting options
- Convenient maintenance and training
Every detail of the Flow-c has been thoughtfully designed in collaboration with clinicians to personalize care in the fast-paced OR.
Intuitive control panel
The flexible and intuitive touch screen gives you one point of control for all functions.
7 feet of rails for flexible mounting
Despite its compact size, Flow-c has seven feet (85"/215cm) of multipurpose rails! Mount monitors, tables and accessories where it best suits you.
Smart clips, hooks and arms
For convenient placement of suction device, manual breathing bag and other accessories.
USB ports and LED light
A useful shelf gives easy access to the USB ports. The workspace is lit by a dimmable LED lamp.
Large drawer
With slots for spare vaporizers and an optional lockable compartment.
Reduce the risk
of hypoxia with O2Guard
Low-flow anesthesia the safest[1] way
Our O2Guard is the world’s only system for active hypoxia prevention[1]. Should the inspired oxygen level drop below 21%, the O2Guard automatically overrules the settings and increases the flow of oxygen. The risk of hypoxia is minimized.[3]
Watch this short video to learn more about 02Guard.
Visual guidance
when lowering the flows
The VRI (Volume Reflector Indicator) is a useful visual guide that enables you to optimize the rebreathing fraction and thus save anesthetic agent.
This tool makes it simple to set the optimal Fresh Gas Flow (FGF) and minute volume ratio. Agent consumption can easily be monitored via the interface.
MAC Brain
Visualizing agent concentration in target organ
Due to pharmacokinetics there is a time delay in agent concentrations between the lungs and the target organ, the brain. The unique MAC Brain tool visualizes the difference to support better dosing and planning of agent delivery.
The Flow family was created by the engineers behind the world-class Servo ventilator platform. The innovative technology at the heart of the Flow anesthesia machines ensures superior ventilation performance with significantly reduced anesthetic agent usage. [2], [3]
Volume Reflector
Our patented Volume Reflector is a smart rebreathing system. In combination with Servo gas modules, it enables accurate tidal volumes down to 5 ml, providing better ventilation performance compared to bag-in-bottle, turbine and piston-operated systems.[2]
The rigid Volume Reflector is never empty to ensure uninterrupted ventilation, and compensates effectively for leakage.
To minimize the risk of hypoxic mixtures the Volume Reflector is oxygen driven. It has a small system volume for fast wash-in and wash-out and a rebreathing fraction of 98%.
The proven Servo gas modules deliver up to 200 l/min inspiratory flow and are capable of adjusting pressure and flow several times within every breath, according to each patient’s needs.
Electronic injection technology enables precise delivery of agents, primarily during the inspiratory phase, with minimal waste.
The lightweight and maintenance-free vaporizers can be refilled and exchanged while the machine is running, and do not require annual calibration.
A small system volume (2.8 l) allows fast wash-in and wash-out which saves time and agent consumption.
