The newest member to the family of Draeger anesthesia machines is said to be designed specifically to meet the requirements for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment.
According to the company, the Fabius MRI employs the same user interface as Draeger’s Fabius GS, Fabius Tiro and Apollo machines, creating a uniform and consistent interface for the anesthesia provider wherever anesthesia is required.
The Fabius MRI is designed for use with 1.5T and 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. An integrated Teslameter provides an acoustic alarm if the Fabius MRI is positioned within field strength greater than 40mTesla. Draeger also offers a range of MRI-compatible accessories, all tested and certified for use with the Fabius MRI machine.
Robert Clark, director of anesthesia care for the US, said: “We now offer an ICU-quality ventilator in an MRI setting, as well as a broad platform of anesthesia machines that are appropriate for any acuity situation.”
