The A5 Advantage offers modular scalability with enhanced functionality for effective care across a wide range of patient types, from neonate to bariatrics. Standard safety features, advanced ventilation modes, central locking brake, and a high-pressure O2 port support initial clinical needs with advanced ventilation modes, lung protective strategies and workflow tools available for true scalable functionality. Direct HL7 data output provides industry standard connectivity for AIMS and EMR systems, reducing the expense associated with data integration. The scalable A5 is an ideal choice for hospital standardization and cost-effective anesthesia management.
Standard Features
