Intended use
The Avance anesthesia system combines our highly advanced
anesthesia delivery, the very best in patient monitoring, and care
information management. The contemporary, compact design
addresses many ergonomic considerations including an efficient
cable management solution and storage system and an extra large
work surface area. Optional, integrated features include auxiliary O2
and suction control. The Avance system offers improved usability
through integration of ventilation, gas delivery and gas monitoring (E
and M-Series respiratory gas module capable) on a full-color 12-inch
display. This system also features electronic gas mixing of up to three
gases.
The Avance system uses SmartVent ventilation technology offering
Volume Control Ventilation with tidal volume compensation and
electronic PEEP. The proven SmartVent technology also features
optional Pressure Control Ventilation, Pressure Support Ventilation
with an Apnea Backup (PSVPro) that is used for spontaneously
breathing patients, Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
(SIMV) modes, Pressure Control Ventilation-Volume Guarantee
(PCV-VG), and VCV cardiac bypass. These advanced features allow
for the ventilation of a broad patient range: from neonates and
compromised patients to routine cases.
The Avance system uses the Advanced Breathing System (ABS).
This integrated breathing system is easy to remove and disassemble,
is made of highly durable polymers, and is fully autoclavable. Its fully
integrated design enhances the system’s elegance while minimizing
tube connections, minimizing circuit volume, and increasing the work
surface area.
The anesthesia system is designed for expansion and upgrades, so it
is easy to add new technologies and ventilation capabilities without
investing in a new system.
This anesthesia system is not suitable for use in an MRI environment.
This system must only be operated by authorized medical personnel
well trained in the use of this product. It must be operated according
to the instructions in this User’s Reference manual.
WARNING Explosion Hazard. Do not use this system with flammable
anesthetic agents.
Note Configurations available for this product depend on local market and
standards requirements. Illustrations in this manual may not
represent all configurations of the product. This manual does not
cover the operation of every accessory. Refer to the accessory
documentation for further information.
