Introduction
The Carestation 750/750c anesthesia systems combine advanced anesthesia delivery, patient monitoring, and care
information management. Optional integrated features include auxiliary common gas outlet, auxiliary O2 outlet,
auxiliary O2+Air outlet, suction control and respiratory gas monitoring.
Intended use
The Carestation750/750c anesthesia systems are
intended to provide monitored anesthesia care, general
inhalation anesthesia and/or ventilatory support to a
wide range of patients (neonatal, pediatric, and adult).
The anesthesia systems are suitable for use in a patient
environment, such as hospitals, surgical centers, or clinics.
The systems are intended to be operated by a clinician
qualied in the administration of general anesthesia.
Note: The Carestation 750 system is the standard
trolley system, while the Carestation 750c system is
the pendant system. This clinical reference guide will
focus on the standard trolley system and use the term
“Carestation 750” instead of “Carestation 750/750c”.
The operation of both systems is identical.
