Preparing you for the most
pressing challenges

Whether you practice inhalational anaesthesia,
intravenous anaesthesia or regional
anaesthesia, it is important to optimize the
delivery of the volatile, hypnotic, and opiate
drugs to the patient. GE’s anaesthesia drug
delivery solutions are specifically designed to
assist you with this vital task.

Precision and safety

Et Control** continuously adjusts according
to your patient’s uptake, while end-tidal
oxygen is maintained at 25% or higher

End Tidal Control**

Target control for volatile anaesthesia and patient oxygen

End Tidal (Et) Control** helps maintain patient’s end-tidal
agent and oxygen settings. Regardless of changes in
patient’s hemodynamic and metabolic status, agent and
oxygen levels are automatically adjusted to targeted
end-tidal levels.

Agent delivery optimisation

Et Control** helps optimize end-tidal oxygen
and agent levels delivered

Target control made simple

We didn’t invent volatile TCA…
but we got it right

Potential to reduce your costs

When Et Control** is enabled at its default
settings it may lower agent consumption
due to reduced flow rates

Innovation and performance by design

Digital Gas Delivery

Digital control of the electronic gas mixer is a
cornerstone of End Tidal (Et) Control**

Digital Vapourizer

Maintenance-free vapourisers with digital vapour
delivery to optimise agent delivery, reduce agent
wastage and reduce environmental pollution

Time to reach the target concentrations are statistically significantly shorter with Avance* than
with Primus® on all saturation and washout profiles

Advanced Breathing System

Exceptional breathing circuit kinetics enables
rapid wash-in and wash-out profiles to optimise
agent and oxygen delivery

Aespire*, Avance and Aisys* utilize the same ABS 2,7 litre breathing circuit.

Avance, with a reduced volume breathing circuit (2,7litres versus Primus’ 4,5litres) mainly
through excluding manual circuit (balloon gas mixer) during mechanical ventilation; moreover
tubular geometry of the breathing circuit generates less turbulences and allows faster
sevoflurane saturation and washout
