We have incorporated a whole host of features into our ConSed systems, to ensure total control for the healthcare team and in turn, absolute safety for the patient undergoing the procedure. They include:
For trained medical personnel, it is impossible to confuse between the gas types, as all connections of the ConSed have different and clearly identifiable color codes.
It is impossible to breathe back into the breathing bag as it is prevented by a check valve. This will not cause CO2 poisoning.
A system of standardized connections exists between cylinders of medical gases and flow meters or pressure regulators. Each gas line has connections of specific sizes to prevent accidental hookups of the wrong gas.
The Pin-Index Safety System (PISS) is a precise configuration of pins and holes that facilitate the connection between a specific medical gas cylinder and the delivery system of these gases.
An integrated Oxygen flush button conveniently located on the front part of the machine facilitates an immediate 20LPM Oxygen flow to the patient.
Should an Oxygen supply failure occur during a procedure, Nitrous Oxide supply will be immediately interrupted. Needless to mention, it is impossible to administrate Nitrous Oxide without the Oxygen supply.
On the extremely rare occasion that a breathing bag becomes empty and contracted, it immediately opens a valve to the environment to provide fresh air to the patient.
A patient will never get an over dose on Nitrous Oxide. ConSed machines are equipped with a maximum limit of Nitrous Oxide emission. The maximum N2O for sedation is 70%. As a result, the patient will be supplied at least 30% Oxygen (room air 20.5% Oxygen).
