CONFIDENT LOW-FLOW ANESTHESIA

Aisys™ CS² End-tidal Control software

Designed to complement the expertise of anesthesia providers in managing complex cases in the operating room, End-tidal Control (Et Control) software* for the Aisys CS² anesthesia machine allows anesthesia providers to set targets for end-tidal oxygen (EtO2) and anesthetic agent (EtAA). Et Control automatically adjusts fresh gas concentrations to quickly achieve and maintain those targets, regardless of changes in the patient's hemodynamic and metabolic status.

Benefits of End-tidal Control

Clinically safe

One study has indicated that, when used as indicated, Et Control is as clinically safe as manual fresh gas control¹

Fast, low-flow control

Reach 90% of your target EtAA within an average of 90 seconds³ and maintain the target at minimal flow rates

Reduced workloads

One study has shown it can reduce the number of key presses by >50%⁴ to help simplify adoption of low-flow strategies by your staff

Vigilant patient support

One study has shown that End-tidal control is twice as accurate at maintaining the set targets than manual control, regardless of patient status.¹

Eco-friendly practices

One study has shown a potential 44% decline in the rate of greenhouse emissions⁵ when employing Et Control software

Improved cost savings

Studies have shown it can reduce anesthetic agent consumption by over 25% depending on agent^1,4
