GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIVERSAL ANAESTHESIA MACHINE®
The UAM® combines elements from both continuous flow and draw-over designs to provide a workstation that delivers controlled anaesthesia in all hospital settings. Oxygen can be provided from a variety of sources, and if none of those sources is available the machine will automatically draw in room air without the need for the user to change settings. The vaporizer provides calibrated delivery of anaesthetic agent and the manual bellows ensures that safe assisted respiration can continue without requiring a high pressure gas source.
The system has been designed to accept standard anaesthesia accessories such as the breathing circuit, oxygen sensor, and standard connectors for the oxygen and nitrous oxide supplies. The UAM is also designed for simple field service. Most components can be removed with standard tools and a replacement part installed by local technicians without removing the workstation from the hospital.
The UAM carries the CE Mark, having passed through EU regulatory inspections. It is manufactured in an ISO-certified factory in England. It is used in a wide variety of hospitals, from internationally recognized academic centers to resource-constrained district hospitals.
