Background:

Anesthesia devices are used to administer anesthesia in medical settings, allowing people to get through intolerable or difficult procedures. Functions of an anesthesia machine include oxygenation, mixing anesthetic vapors, ventilation.

The Siare Perseo anesthesia system, manufactured by Siare Hospital Supplies S.R.L., is a medical device used for gaseous anesthesia. The device can be used with newborns, children, and adults. The system comes in the form of a trolley, on 4 antistatic wheels.

It can be used to administer oxygen, air, nitrous oxide, halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane, and halocarbon 22 mixtures. There are options built in to adjust the flow and concentration of the gas mixtures. Additional devices, such as a spirometer, can be purchased and attached to the original Siare Perseo system.
