Revolutionise your Morning Routine with Auto-On and the Self-Test Tracker

To make your daily work easier, our Atlan® family and Perseus® A500 anaesthesia machines are equipped with our unique time-controlled*, fully automatic self-test**. In addition to the calibration of all sensors, this also includes an O2 real gas test** and the detection of a possible exchange of breathing tubes. All you need to do is complete the manual preparation checklist*** (e.g., the night before) and set the time you want the machines to be ready for use.

In addition, you can view the current status of all our networked anaesthesia machines conveniently and centrally via the Self-Test Tracker in the OR Companion dashboard. And even if the system test did not run successfully, the reason for this is displayed in the dashboard. This gives you the opportunity to go directly to the unit with the right replacement part. Gain valuable time and save yourself long journeys through the operating theatres.

Self-Test: Indispensable for patient safety

Self-Test matters

Modern anaesthesia has put more focus on facilitating the anaesthetist’s work and to increase the patient’s safety for example by integrated assistance systems of the anaesthesia machine. However, while it may appear obvious that in daily work instruction and training on the handling of anaesthesia machines is sometimes to be of minor importance, research findings imply that failure to perform functional testing can be a common cause of critical incidents in anaesthesia. 

The Auto-On function of Atlan® family and Perseus® A500 anaesthesia machines together with Self-Test Tracker of the OR Companion offer an intuitive and efficient self-test procedure that encourages you to perform checks regularly as they can save a significant amount of time in your daily routine.

Self-Test Tracker of OR Companion Dashboard

The current status of your anaesthesia machines at a glance at all times

As recommended, performing machines self-test on daily basis increases patient safety by putting the equipment in a “safe to operate with “state and can avoid machines related complications during anaesthesia.1,2

The Self-Test Tracker option of OR Companion provides, a quick, centralised overview of the self-test results of the networked Atlan® family and Perseus® A500 anaesthesia machines and targeted troubleshooting in case of a self-test failure. 

The Self-Test Tracker function can minimise the downtime of the anaesthesia machines and ensures that the operating status of the machines are always transparently displayed.

Automates important steps of the system test procedure

With the unique Auto On function of our Perseus® A500 and Atlan® family* workstations, the system tests can be initiated automatically at a preconfigured time and will already be completed when staff enter the OR department in the morning. With a glance at the Self-Test Tracker from anywhere within the hospital, staff are informed about the operational readiness of the anaesthesia machines and can, in case of complications, quickly shift their focus to troubleshooting.

Enables fast troubleshooting to reduce downtime

Operating rooms contribute strongly to the financial success of a hospital and operating room downtime, for example because devices are inoperable, results in financial losses.3 In case an anaesthesia machine system tests isn’t completed successfully, the Self-Test Tracker acts as an assistance system and immediately provides staff with error information and troubleshooting steps.

Supports a secure operation

Gas leakage values are shown per anaesthesia machine to indicate the secure operation of a device. It is utmost important to operate with a leak-tight breathing system during minimal- and low-flow anaesthesia application.

Enhanced fleet management opportunities

The software provides staff with insights to the runtime and system test history of a connected anaesthesia machines which increases transparency on the machine's performance.
