A9 Anesthesia system

With appreciation for established ways of working, the A9 retains many traditional features while also introducing some cutting-edge technologies to allow intuitive and safe management of the anesthetic procedure for broad patient populations.

Introducing the new safety

High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) 

HFNC can extend the safe apnoeic oxygenation time to 30min during induction. It helps clinicians intubate more easily, especially for patients with poor oxygen saturation such as bariatric, pediatric, critical ill or difficult airway.

Automatic Control Anesthesia (ACA)

ACA can automatically adjust the fresh gas and vaporizer output to quickly achieve the preset target end-tidal agent and inspiratory oxygen concentration.

Protective ventilation

Transpulmonary pressure monitoring: independent monitoring for esophageal pressure, to support customized ventilation settings for individual patient.

Lung Recruitment Tool: stepwise PEEP and sustained inflation are provided as two optional maneuvers.

TV/IBW indicator: TV/IBW can be calculated as the TV changes, which offers clinicians clear hint of appropriate tidal volume settings to avoid barotrauma.

Less is more

Automatic system check

• Checking various parts automatically to ensure proper functioning, with graphic display of error correction.
• All checks completed in 3.5 minutes; and scheduled system check to save preparation time.

A clearer and brighter workspace

• Clear system status indicators provide clear prompts for certain scenarios to allow easy viewing of the current working mode, and help address malfunctions quickly.
• Illumination around APL valve in manual mode, and adjustable lighting for workspace in low light environments.

Customized profiles

Configuration profiles can be customized and loaded easily for different clinical scenarios or use requirements, including default values, screen layout and system configuration.
