MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA PRODUCTS
Activated Charcoal to Prepare an Anesthesia Machine for the SUSCEPTIBLE PATIENT
Removes unwanted anesthetic gas from the breathing circuit
Do you have suspected cases of malignant hyperthermia?
Use MHAUS approved Vapor Clean Filters!
Ready in Under 90 Seconds The internal components of modern anesthesia machines capture and hold volatile anesthetics which are released when the machine is used for a new patient. Even trace amounts of vapor can be harmful for susceptible patients 1 . Previously, flushing the anesthesia machine with high fresh gas flow for an extended time before a case was thought to help decrease the risk to susceptible patients. Now, in less than 90 seconds, Vapor–Clean activated charcoal filters reduce exposure to less than 5ppm of desflurane, sevoflurane and isoflurane molecules from reaching the patient for an entire case lasting up to 12 hours. • A peer-reviewed study shows that FDA-cleared Vapor-Clean filters lower anesthetic vapor to less than 5 ppm in less than 90 seconds 2 . • Vapor-Clean filters maintain trace anesthetic vapor levels below 5 ppm for an entire case (up to 12 hours). • There is no need to flush the anesthesia machine for up to 104 minutes 2,3,6 prior to delivering anesthesia to an MH-susceptible patient. • Simply connect inspiratory and expiratory Vapor-Clean filters between the anesthesia machine and a new breathing circuit to deliver a vapor-free anesthetic.
Standardize Anesthesia Machine Preparation for MH
“With the advent of the Vapor-Clean device, it would seem that the challenge of protecting MH susceptible patients from trace amounts of anesthetic vapor has been solved.” - Jeffrey M. Feldman M.D., M.S.E., New Device Simplifies Workstation Preparation for Malignant Hyperthermia-susceptible Patients, Anesthesiology August 2011 - Volume 115 - Issue 2 - p 434
Compatible with both standard two-limb and coaxial breathing circuits.
• Compatible with all anesthesia machines • Two-year minimum shelf life • Reduces costly operating room delays due to “surprises” • MH-susceptible patients • Negligible additional breathing circuit resistance • No need to remove CO 2 absorbent
