Patent number: 9555212Abstract: An anesthesia system for providing a breathing gas enriched with anesthetic has an anesthesia apparatus (2) and at least one anesthetic dispensing device (3), which is detachably coupled with the anesthesia apparatus. A fluid connection (7, 8, 9) is provided between the anesthesia apparatus and the dispensing device, which is designed to send anesthetic from the dispensing device into the anesthesia apparatus. At least one optical interface is provided between the anesthesia apparatus and the dispensing device. At least one display device is provided in the dispensing device. The optical interface has at least one light source (10), which is provided in the anesthesia apparatus, and at least one fiber optic light guide (20), which is provided in the anesthetic dispensing device (3). The light fed by the light source (10) into the fiber optic light guide is sent to the display device to directly or indirectly light the display device.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Drägerwerk AG & Co.

Patent number: 7730885Abstract: A device for mixing anesthetic vapor with anesthetic gas has a pressure limitation feature achieved in a simple manner. The device has a valve device (11), with which the evaporator is switched on and off. The valve device (11) is equipped with an overpressure release device (22).Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2005Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Dräger Medical AG & Co.

Patent number: 7648039Abstract: A pressure-resistant tank for liquids includes a plurality of differently shaped diecast parts (1, 2) made of a first aluminum alloy (cast alloy). The diecast parts (1, 2) are connected by means of a closed weld seam welded with an electron beam with the use of a second aluminum alloy (wrought alloy). The second aluminum alloy has especially a hydrogen content of less than 0.2 mL per 100 g of wrought alloy. The tank for liquids is especially an anesthetic tank and the anesthetic is desflurane.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2005Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Dräger Medical AG & Co. KGInventors: Claus Bunke, Matthias Witt, Rainer Kunz, Sven Heyer, Thomas Rossen, Henryk Schnaars

Patent number: 7591263Abstract: A device is provided for measuring the differential pressure in anesthetic dispensing devices, with which the differential pressure can be measured between two lines (2, 6) for supplying gaseous components to a mixing site (3). The device has at least one differential pressure sensor (11), which is connected with the lines (2, 6) for supplying the gaseous components. Buffer elements (12, 12?) are integrated in the connection between the lines (2, 6) for supplying the gaseous components and the differential pressure sensor (11).Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Dräger Medical AG & Co.
