  • Patent number: 9555212
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7648039
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7591263
    Abstract: 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).

  • Patent number: 7317402
    Abstract: An alarm is associated with a device for dispensing volatile anesthetics. The alarm and device is designed such that an alarm is triggered whenever the operating voltage is interrupted and an assembly unit that determines the dispensing of at least one anesthetic is not in a prescribed state of operation.

  • Patent number: 7290571
    Abstract: A filling device for an anesthetic evaporator has filling of an anesthetic evaporator is possible. To accomplish the object, an additional vent hole (36), which is opened immediately after the filling in order for excess anesthetic volume to be able to flow out of the filling device into the anesthetic tank (15) of the anesthetic evaporator (2), is provided within the filling device above a fluid channel (14), via which both the gas and liquid exchange takes place during the filling.
