Flow-c Anesthesia Machine

Our compact anesthesia model

Flow-c is the easy-to-use dynamic anesthesia machine. Despite its small size, it offers all Flow Family innovations, making sure to cover the need of care efficiency.

That in combination with its compact design gives it an advantage in the crowded Operating Room in a hospital as well as Ambulatory Surgery Centers, all with a busy schedule.

Dynamic Anesthesia Delivery when Every. Breath. Counts. 

 

Getinge Flow-c is our compact, easy-to-use anesthesia machine for the busy OR
Getinge’s compact anesthesia machine Flow-c has 215 cm multipurpose rails for mount monitors, tables and accessories.
Our compact anesthesia machine, Getinge Flow-c , offers cable management without clutter designed for the crowded OR

Compact efficiency in the busy OR

Flow-c is our compact anesthesia machine enabling safe and cost-efficient treatment.

  • Ventilation performance to ICU standards
  • Safe low-flow anesthesia with Automatic Gas Control
  • MAC Brain for improved control of depth of anesthesia
  • Active hypoxia prevention with O2Guard
  • Lung Recruitment Maneuvers to prevent postoperative complications

Our unique anesthesia technology makes the difference

 

Safe and easy low-flow anesthesia

Automatic Gas Control (AGC) makes low-flow anesthesia delivery safe. With simple pre-settings, specifying the targeted inspired oxygen, end-tidal anesthetic agent levels and required speed, AGC solves the rest. Our innovation offers high precision combined with improved comfort and increased safety. [1][2][3][4][5][6]

 

Better anesthetic agent dosing

For more precise control of depth of anesthesia, we created MAC Brain. A unique tool that visualizes the difference in agent concentration between the lungs and the target organ, the brain. The reliability of the data puts you in control, letting you plan and deliver more efficient dosing of agents with safety and ease. [8][9][10]

User-friendly workstation in the OR

 

Large drawer

With slots for spare vaporizers and an optional lockable compartment.

 

Cable management

Hoses and cables are neatly routed and covered by specially designed panels, contributing to improved hygiene and safety.

 

215 cm rails for flexible mounting

Despite its compact size, Flow-c has 215 cm multipurpose rails! Mount monitors, tables and accessories where it best suits you.

Our unique anesthesia technology makes the difference

AGC Anesthesia Flow

Automatic Gas Control (AGC)

Safe and easy low-flow anesthesia

Automatic Gas Control (AGC) makes low-flow anesthesia delivery safe. It is an option uniquely available with Flow-i machines. Automation eliminates the need of continuous manual adjustments: with simple pre-settings, specifying the targeted inspired oxygen, end-tidal anesthetic agent levels and required speed, AGC solves the rest. Our innovation offers high precision combined with improved comfort and increased safety. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

o2guard anesthesia flow

O₂Guard

Active hypoxia prevention

Our O2Guard is the world’s only system for active hypoxia prevention. Should the inspired oxygen level drop below 21%, the O2Guard automatically overrules the settings and increases the flow of oxygen. [7]

Mac brain anesthesia flow

MAC Brain

Better anesthetic agent dosing

For more precise control of depth of anesthesia, we created MAC Brain. A unique tool that visualizes the difference in agent concentration between the lungs and the target organ, the brain. [8] [9] [10]

Lung recruitment flow anesthesia

Lung recruitment

Gentle steps against atelectasis

Our lung recruitment maneuvers have become the tool of choice to counter
atelectasis, to improve oxygenation and help prevent postoperative complications. [11] [12]

Ventilation anesthesia flow

Ventilation performance

To ICU standards

Innovative Flow Core Technology is designed to promote efficient agent usage, providing the power and precision to ventilate even the most challenging patients. [13] [14] [15]

User-friendly workstation in the OR

Developed together with clinicians, the compact Flow-c anesthesia machine is designed to facilitate a great scope for configuration and patient safety. With an intuitive interface and emphasis on ease of use [16], our anesthesia solutions ensure a streamlined workflow and efficiency in the operating room that offers enhanced cost control and resource management.
