Our unique anesthesia technology makes the difference

At Getinge we are passionate about patient safety and care efficiency. That’s why we have developed Dynamic Anesthesia Delivery for our Flow Family anesthesia machines – innovative technology that puts the clinician in control, supplying safe and precise anesthesia for any patient, case or situation.

o2guard anesthesia flow

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

Informed anesthetic dosing

To facilitate decision-making when dosing anesthesia agents, we have 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

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

ICU-grade Ventilation

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

User-friendly anesthesia workstations in the OR

Getinge Flow-i Anesthesia Machine

"Flow-i is so easy to use, training new staff and external consultants is made much easier…" [16]

Flow Family Anesthesia machines

Ease of use for a streamlined workflow

Developed together with clinicians, our Flow Family anesthesia machines, are designed to facilitate a great scope for personalization and patient safety.

With an intuitive interface and emphasis on ease of use [16], they ensure a streamlined workflow and efficiency that offers enhanced cost control and resource management.
