Dräger · Model Fabius GS
Proven Ventilation Versatility - The electrically driven and electronically controlled Fabius GS E-vent ventilator requires no drive gas. This makes it more flexible and economical to use than traditional gas-driven bellows ventilators by limiting the consumption of expensive medical grade gas to patient use only. Motor-driven hardware and software-controlled functionality also offer virtually unlimited upgradeability. The Fabius GS is suitable for any patient -- pediatric to adult -- and provides Volume Controlled Ventilation, Pressure Controlled Ventilation, Synchronized Volume Control (SIMV), Pressure Support and Manual/Spontaneous modes. Pressure Support mode facilitates spontaneous breathing by removing the work of breathing due to circuit resistance, improving comfort levels and enhancing quality of patient care. Electronic Gas-Flow Measurement - The Fabius GS is the world’s first anesthesia machine with vertical flow controls and electronic fresh gas flow indicators, enabling you to compare gas flows more easily and intuitively. Additionally, the export of fresh gas data to an information system allows monitoring of gas usage and to promote the use of low-flow anesthesia. Compact, Convenient Breathing System - The flexible, ergonomic design of the Fabius GS allows for optimal positioning of the semi-closed breathing system (COSY). The COSY can be height- adjusted, pre-assembled on the left or right side of the machine and can be easily removed from the machine for cleaning and sterilization. The COSY not only minimizes set-up and installation time but also substantially reduces the potential for leaks, OR pollution and overall gas consumption. It is simply a smarter and much more ergonomic design. Intelligent Cable Management - The Infinity monitoring line offers an outstanding cable management approach: The MultiMed parameter module reduces cable clutter and simplifies patient transfer. Moreover the unique Pick and Go® capabilities of the Infinity patient monitoring system provide continuous monitoring during transport and automatic reconfiguration of site specific parameters with Dräger Medical’s innovative Infinity Docking Stations (IDS). Universal Mounting Platform - The Pick and Go concept also provides significant efficiency and quality benefits. Because the monitor moves with the patient, no separate transport monitor is required and you will need fewer monitors throughout the patient care process. The choice of a fixed-mount monitoring solution or the Pick and Go transport concept gives you maximum flexibility to adapt your complete anesthesia solution to today’s evolving requirements. ClinicalVisio - Their latest monitoring solutions allow you to choose the high efficiency data-access tools that make the most sense for your viewing needs. The new Infinity Omega solution uses a two-screen system approach so you can see patient monitoring data and clinical data simultaneously. It includes a Delta patient monitor with the Infinity Docking Station and a 17“ touch screen smart display all to help eliminate information access bottlenecks, keep you confidently on top of your entire environment and offer maximum flexibility for your longterm IT needs. With an optional web browser you can access web-based applications as well.
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Symptoms: Low-pressure or circle-system leak test fails, machine not ready for use.
Root cause: Breathing-circuit / absorber leak, a worn APL valve or bag arm, a CO2-absorber canister seal, or a vaporiser back-bar leak.
Symptoms: Set tidal volume not delivered, bellows will not fill or hangs up, piston fault, PEEP not held.
Root cause: Bellows leak, a drive-gas valve fault, a flow-sensor fault, or a piston-seal fault.
Symptoms: O2 flow not matching the setting, flowmeter float sticking, hypoxic-guard / ratio fault, no O2 flush.
Root cause: Worn flowmeter (rotameter), a hypoxic-guard link fault, or a flush-valve fault.
Symptoms: Agent output does not match the dial, back-bar leak, dial stiff.
Root cause: Vaporiser seating / O-ring, or an internal vaporiser fault (calibrate at an authorised centre).
Symptoms: O2-failure whistle / alarm, anti-hypoxia device cuts N2O, pipeline-pressure fault.
Root cause: Loss of pipeline / cylinder pressure, or a pressure-sensor fault.
Symptoms: Waste-gas scavenging alarm or not evacuating, theatre pollution.
Root cause: Scavenging flow / connection or a receiver-valve fault.
