  • Low pressure: if this happens it may affect different factors, setting off an alarm so that the fault is checked immediately.
  • Hypoxic gas mixture: occurs when oxygen levels are lower than natural air in the gas supplied to patients.

  • Mechanical anti-hypoxic device (AHD): designed to minimize the risk of a hypoxic mixture reaching the patient.
  • Electronic flow display unit: this unit is optional, it has a device that has a digital indicator with fresh gas flow rates supplied by the anesthesia machine. 
  • Virtual flow indication system: The Virtual Flow Indicator module is a system for the electronic display of fresh gas flow, this system is optional, that is, some machines or models have it, according to the requirement that exists in the medical area.

Mode of operation 

The system automatically turns on when the gas supply button on the machine is ON or ON. The system monitors each gas and provides a secondary visual indication of the flow rate.
