The new platform, called Apollo, is designed as a workflow-oriented workstation to provide assistance through therapy. It also offers an open-platform architecture to allow for integration into a hospital’s existing workflow.
Apollo is designed not just to offer all-around performance but to serve as a personal anesthesia assistant, said Rob Clark, care area director, perioperative, Draeger Medical. Apollo combines a tried-and-tested design concept with state-of-the-art technology to offer a workflow-oriented anesthesia platform equipped to meet clinical demands today and in the future. Apollo plays an important role in optimizing anesthesia workflow and reducing process costs.
The company said the product is suitable for low and minimal flow anesthesia to minimize the costs of anesthetic gas consumption. In addition, the ventilator control in the Apollo platform reduces surplus gas to a minimum.
The Apollo includes a central TFT color screen that controls the electric ventilator, gas and ventilation monitoring. The electronic control system also allows the ventilation parameters to be retained when switching between modes.
