Carestation™ 750/750c (A1)
Product description The Carestation™ 750/750c anesthesia systems combine advanced anesthesia delivery, patient monitoring, and care information management. The contemporary, compact design allows for easy mobility and addresses many ergonomic considerations including an effective cable management solution, aesthetic covers, and an expandable work surface area. Optional integrated features include auxiliary common gas outlet, auxiliary O2 outlet, auxiliary O2+Air outlet, suction control and respiratory gas monitoring. The system provides integration of ventilation and gas delivery, on a 15-inch color touchscreen interface. This system also features electronic gas mixing of oxygen and a balance gas of either N2O or Air. This anesthesia system is designed for mixing and delivering inhalation anesthetics (Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, or Desflurane), Air, O2, and N2O. This anesthesia system has Recruitment maneuvers, a feature to perform automated lung recruitment maneuver in a single step or in multi steps. This anesthesia system uses electronic flow valve ventilation technology offering Volume Control Ventilation with tidal volume compensation and electronic PEEP. This technology also features Pressure Control Ventilation, optional 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), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure + Pressure Support Ventilation (CPAP + PSV), and VCV Cardiac Bypass. In Volume Control Ventilation, a patient can be ventilated using a minimal tidal volume of 20 ml. In Pressure Control Ventilation, volumes as low as 5 ml can be measured. These advanced features allow for the ventilation of a broad patient range.
WARNING Note
MR unsafe. This system is not suitable for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. The system is not suitable for use near active high-frequency surgical equipment where electromagnetic disturbance is high. Keep high-frequency surgical equipment more than 1 m away from this system.
Indications for use (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 qualified in the administration of general anesthesia.

1 Introduction
Residual risks The anesthesia machines include a mechanical ventilator. All mechanical ventilators are associated with potential complications such as ventilator induced lung injury, hypoxia and hypercarbia. Anesthesia delivery which exceeds or falls short of settings could cause patient harm like awareness or excessive hemodynamic changes. Users must abide by the intended use and the instructions for use to make sure that the benefits of the Anesthesia machine’s use outweigh the inherent risks associated with the potential delivery of anesthesia and ventilation modes used.
Contraindications The device has no product-specific contraindications. It is the responsibility of the user to select the appropriate treatment for the patient’s underlying disease. Patient status must be continuously monitored for potential changes. Note
The device administers medical gases such as O2, N2O, or volatile anesthetic agents. For contraindications to the applied medical gases, strictly observe the instructions for use of the medical gas.
Safe disposal Dispose of the system, accessories, and packaging according to local, state, or country disposal and recycling laws. Dispose of this product and packaging according to facility disposal practices and local environmental and waste disposal regulations. Components and accessories of the system which have come into direct or indirect contact with the patient may be bio-hazardous. These parts should be disposed of according to facility guidelines for bio-hazardous material.
