Innovation and performance by design
Digital Gas Delivery
Digital control of the electronic gas mixer is a
cornerstone of End Tidal (Et) Control**
Advanced Breathing System
Exceptional breathing circuit kinetics enables
rapid wash-in and wash-out profiles to optimise
agent and oxygen delivery
Digital Vapourizer
Maintenance-free vapourisers with digital vapour
delivery to optimise agent delivery, reduce agent
wastage and reduce environmental pollution
Time to reach the target concentrations are statistically significantly shorter with Avance * than
with Primus ® on all saturation and washout profiles 2
Aespire * , Avance and Aisys * utilize the same ABS 2,7 litre breathing circuit.
Avance, with a reduced volume breathing circuit (2,7litres versus Primus’ 4,5litres) mainly
through excluding manual circuit (balloon gas mixer) during mechanical ventilation; moreover
tubular geometry of the breathing circuit generates less turbulences and allows faster
sevoflurane saturation and washout
