What is the Dräger Perseus A500 Anaesthesia Workstation?
The Dräger Perseus A500 combines proven ventilation technology with advanced ergonomics and systems integration in an anaesthesia workstation designed with experts worldwide. Its TurboVent2 electronically controlled blower ventilator supports ICU-quality ventilation across adults, paediatrics and neonates — including APRV and Volume AutoFlow — while the Low Flow Wizard guides clinicians to the lowest viable fresh gas flow, cutting agent consumption and cost. A timer-based fully automatic self-test prepares the machine before the operating team arrives.
