You Need These Filters To Comply With MH
Guidelines
Comply with current malignant hyperthermia (MH)
recommendations from MHAUS* with Vapor-Clean filters from
Dynasthetics. These charcoal filters for anesthesia machines
reduce patient exposure to the hazardous anesthetic vapors
that trigger MH episodes. They're fast-acting. Place the filters
on your anesthesia machine's inspired and expired ports and
be virtually vapor-free within just 90 seconds. No need for slow
flushing. Vapor-Clean filters' new orange color helps remind
you to remove and dispose them after use. Compatible with
all anesthesia machines.

Everyone Loves This Pain Pump
Which pain pump saves you money and produces happier
patients and physicians? The InfuBLOCK post-surgical pain
management system from InfuSystem. When a patient's
insurance plan covers the pump, the company bills the insurer
for you. If not, you'll still be able to buy the InfuBLOCK for half
the price of your normal elastomeric pump. Patients also love
the InfuBLOCK—its accuracy is impressive, and it features
audible safety alarms and an optional bolus. Trained
InfuSystem staff contact patients daily to record pain and
satisfaction scores; you can see their data via the online,
HIPAA-compliant BlockPain Dashboard. A toll-free, 24/7
support hotline staffed by trained nurses answers patient
questions—no more after-hours calls to physicians!

Never Replace Another Costly OR Wire,
Hose or Probe
Protect delicate wires and hoses in the OR with ingenious
CASTrGARD wheel covers. These one-piece devices are easy
to use; simply snap them around the outside of the wheels of
your anesthesia machine, and presto! You will have created a
barrier that pushes wires, probes and hoses away from the
wheel, saving you up to $1,000/year/OR. Fits Draeger, Datex-
Ohmeda (GE) and Datascope machines, among others.
