Product No. DESCRIPTION The Anesthesiology & Pain Management Service at the Dallas VA Medical Center needs to purchase a MRI compatible anesthesia machine to provide anesthesia to patients undergoing radiological scans. The type of machine required includes the following specifications: 1. Developed for 1.5 Tesla and 3 tesla MRI environments / Distance to center of magnetic field: fringe field strength of 40 mtesla (400 gauss) or less 2. Compact Breathing System 3. High resolution 6.5� TFT color display and LED alarm indicators 4. Vapor 2000 system 5. Electronically controlled and driven, high-precision ventilator with volume controlled an pressure controlled modes 6. Able to interface with the Draeger Innovian software currently used by all Anesthesia providers for electronic patient record documentation. Monitoring Continuous monitoring of inspiratory O2 concentration, frequency, tidal volume, minute volume, mean or plateau pressure, peak airway pressure as well as PEEP. In addition, all fresh gas flow information is displayed as virtual flow tubes. Serial interface 1 x RS 232 (standard) Protocols Medibus Volume of CO2 absorber 1.5 Liter, Option: Dräger Medical’s prefilled CLIC absorber Volume of entire compact 1.7 Liter + bag breathing system Gas supply from supplementary • with pin-index connections or MR compatible cylinders • with threaded connectors Auxiliary Oxygen Flowmeter Fresh-gas flow 0 to 10 L/min Anesthetic Agent Vaporizer 2 position Dräger mount Dräger Isoflurane Vapor 2000, Dräger Sevoflurane Vapor 2000 S-ORC (Sensitive Oxygen Ratio Controller) S-ORC is a control element which guarantees a minimum O2 concentration in the fresh gas flow. As from a flow rate of approx. 200 mL/min., the N2O concentration in the fresh gas can be freely set between 0 and 75 %. During O2 shortage S-ORC limits the N2O concentration in the fresh gas, so that the O2 concentration does not drop below 23 vol.%. S-ORC prevents N2O flow, when N2O metering valve is open and O2 metering valve is closed or O2 flow is less than 0.2 L/min. During N2O failure O2 may still be administered. No alarm. Range and accuracy of 0 to 10 L/min ±10 % of full scale at STP, total fresh gas flow meter calibrated with 50 % O2/ 50 % N2O gas mixture 0 to 10 L/min ±15 % of full scale at STP for all other gas mixtures O2 flush (bypass) at 55 psi (3.8 kPa x 100): max. 50 L/min at 50 psi (3.8 kPa x 100): max. 35 L/min Dimensions W x H x D Base unit (caster) approx. 78 x 140 x 92 cm with central brake locked (31 x 55 x 36.3 in) (with COSY, left or approx. 99 x 140 x 90/92cm right side mounted) (39 x 55 x 35.5/36.3 in) Extendable writing tray 86 cm (38.5 in) Teslameter sensor location 96 cm (37.8 in) Power supply 100 to 240 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, 6.7 A, (rating non-configurable) including additional power outlets Ambient Conditions Operation temperature 10 to 35 °C (50 to 95 °F) Storage temperature –10 to 60 °C (14 to 140 °F) Battery (supports ventilator > 45 min and integrated monitor)
