S/5 Avance from Datex Ohmeda – Anaesthesia system for optimised gas and ventilation management
The S/5 Avance from Datex-Ohmeda is an anaesthesia system designed to meet the requirements of healthcare professionals working in complex operating environments. Its compact, integrated design makes it easy to install in confined spaces while offering all the features necessary for the precise delivery and control of anaesthetic gases. Thanks to its electronic mixer, the S/5 Avance ensures accurate gas dosing, improving patient safety and comfort throughout the surgical procedure.
The user interface is designed for intuitive use, with a clear display and easily accessible controls. The control panel includes quick-access keys and a navigation wheel for quickly changing ventilation or gas settings. The system also offers real-time respiratory monitoring, providing access to detailed information on ventilation parameters and the composition of inspired and expired gases. This instant visualisation allows medical staff to adapt patient care at every stage of anaesthesia.
The S/5 Avance is modular and can be configured to integrate various accessories and options according to clinical needs. These options include an integrated suction regulator, an auxiliary oxygen flow meter and mounting systems for additional equipment. Side rails accommodate additional devices, while the top tray can hold monitors or other equipment needed for anaesthetic care.
The ventilation system is based on a high-performance breathing circuit comprising inspiratory and expiratory flow sensors, non-return valves, a CO₂ absorber and a mechanical bellows. Switching between manual and mechanical ventilation is simple thanks to a dedicated switch. In addition, an O₂ flush button allows rapid administration of pure oxygen when required. The entire system is designed to minimise gas losses and optimise safety.
Maintenance of the S/5 Avance is facilitated by easy access to key components and clear maintenance procedures. A periodic maintenance plan ensures optimal performance is maintained, with regular checks of the sensors, bellows and gas circuits. The robustness of its structure and the quality of the materials used guarantee a long service life, even in intensive hospital use.
The S/5 Avance from Datex-Ohmeda is a reliable, ergonomic and accurate system designed to offer anaesthetists optimal control of ventilation and gas distribution. Its flexibility and numerous options make it a relevant choice for any establishment seeking to combine performance, safety and ease of use.
