The electronically controlled electrically driven piston ventilator technology of Atlan A300/XL anaesthesia machine helps to deploy lung protective ventilation measures that can be beneficial for perioperative lung function and may improve outcomes.

• High precision piston ventilator enables accurate tidal volume delivery down to 5 ml (in VC mode)*
• Synchronised piston movement with the patient expiration flow reduces the expiratory resistance and can reduce work of breathing
• The set PEEP is maintained even in case of small leakage and during spontaneous breathing to reduce risk of atelectasis development
• High trigger sensitivity can detect even weak spontaneous breathing efforts of patients
• Fresh-gas decoupling seperates the ventilation from the fresh-gas flow and the O₂ flush so changes to the fresh-gas flow have no influence on the applied tidal volume and the ventilation pressures
• Features optimise low- and minimal-flow application, which can contribute to improved humidity of anaesthetic gases, mucociliary clearance, maintenance of body temperature and reduced fluid loss. They include:
  – built-in breathing system warmer to warm breathing gas and to reduce condensation
  – optimised breathing system architecture to enable fast changes in fresh-gas and agent concentrations
  – sample-gas recirculation to eliminate gas loss
• Lung recruitment maneuver option** comprises One-step and Multi-step recruitment methods, Insp./Exp. Hold function and reminder function to support recruitment maneuver deployment
• AutoFlow option ensures the delivery of the set tidal volume with the lowest required pressure to avoid pressure peaks and unintentional high tidal volumes
• Highly accurate APL valve with a nearly linear increase and decrease in pressure pattern

** Requires software 2.0 or higher}

Breaking the chain of infection and complying with your hospital's hygiene protocols is critical in today's clinical environment. For this reason, during the development phase of Atlan anaesthesia machines, we designed them with infection prevention regulations in mind to support hygiene measures in the OR.

• Quick disassembly of breathing system with few parts to be compliant with infection prevention regulations
• Smooth and rounded surfaces ease cleaning/wipe disinfection
• Cable ducts and channels reduce number of potential contamination sources
• Compatible with original Dräger single-use consumables support hygiene standards

  – Compact or large trolley, ceiling or wall variants supports good patient access, ergonomic working environment, and low turnaround times with customised workplaces
  – Comes with or w/o integrated patient-gas measurement module to offer flexibility and avoid redundant cost for clinics with gas bench monitors
• Standardised Dräger user interfaces, operating principles, nomenclature, and accessories across other Dräger anaesthesia devices and ventilators reduce training efforts, optimise fleet management and reduce risk of errors
• Graphically illustrated walk-through pre-test checklist enables easy and intuitive preparation of the machine for system test
• Fully automated system test* (no user interaction needed) enhances operational efficiency and saves staff time for other tasks
• Auto On** function enables an automatic system test and switching on of the tested machine at a defined time that helps to reduce time for start-up
• Ex- and import of machine configuration via USB mass storage device saves manual efforts and time**
• Large work surface, lockable drawer, and additional shelves (optional) for optimal working conditions and supply storage
• Workplace illumination improves readability during Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) cases
• Cable management channels reduce cable clutter, connection failures and cleaning efforts
• Improved manoeuvrability via combination with ceiling supply units simplifies positioning of machine in the OR
• Anaesthetic agent and gas consumption measurements help to analyse potential savings in agent and gas consumption
• Generates a message*** when the maximum period of use of the RFID technology-based accessories (Infinity ID breathing circuit, Infinity ID WaterLock 2 water trap, Infinity ID flow sensors, Infinity ID CLIC absorber) are exceeded to remind personnel about the required replacement of consumables
• Generates message*** when the RFID technology-based Infinity ID breathing bag connector or breathing circuit is connected incorrectly and if the Infinity ID CLIC absorber is not firmly connected to avoid potential human errors
• Design flexibility enables different mounting positions of hardware components, e.g. patient monitors, IV pumps, IT hardware and shelves, etc., to offer customised workstation solutions

The Atlan A300/XL anaesthesia machine was designed with security in mind to combat dangerous and damaging cyber-attacks.

We implemented measures considering the NIST security best practices framework.

• Identify:
  Dedicated documents with security relevant information are provided for asset risk management (e.g. Software Bill of Material, MDS2 Form, comprehensive cybersecurity whitepaper).
• Protect:
  – A secure boot ensures the integrity of the software running on the device
  – Role-based authentication & authorisation prevents unauthorised access to critical settings and data
  – Hardened operating system by omitting all unnecessary software components and disabling all unused ports minimises attack surface
• Detect:
  Security relevant events are detected, logged in a tamper-proof security log file and IT-admin is notified via SNMP traps
• Respond:
  The system health monitor observes the system load carefully and reacts in case of suspected malicious events, i.e., disable network interface if load is unusually high.
• Recover:
  The system can reboot into last good known state if security event is detected. Dräger service can restore hard- and software quickly, clinical configuration can be transferred from other devices via USB drive

Atlan was developed as to our secure development lifecycle encompassing:

• Threat analysis to identify vulnerabilities during the development phase
• Automatic code analysis along software development
• Independent 3rd party penetration testing to discover residual vulnerabilities
• Execution only of signed (trusted) code on the device
• Release of patches if relevant vulnerability was detected
• Continuous vulnerability monitoring along the lifecycle of the product

The Atlan A300/XL interoperates with other Dräger solutions as an advanced workstation to enhance patient care and workflows. The Atlan A300/XL workstation can be networked to communicate securely with hospital information systems, other networked machines to share data and information that can help to increase efficiency and reduce errors in anaesthesia.

• Time and date synchronisation*: Identical date and time setting on all connected machines to enable consistent and accurate documentation
• Data export and EMR Integration*: Collection of high-quality and standardised data from the Atlan workstations which is directly integrated into the patient’s electronic medical record system that reduces time spent on administrative tasks
• Cardiac bypass mode synchronisation: Activation of Cardiac bypass mode (CBM) on Atlan anaesthesia machine deactivates all alarm monitoring (including arrythmia alarms) and the alarm bar of the connected Dräger patient monitoring during extracorporeal oxygenation of the patient by heart-lung machine
• Analysis Tool page of the Dräger IACS provides contextual information to assess the effects after a lung recruitment maneuver is performed
• Mobile Patient Watch: Displays near real-time ventilation numeric parameters and gas analysis waveforms from connected Atlan anaesthesia workstations on a (remote) web-enabled mobile phone or desktop computer to enable remote clinical supervision**
