GE Healthcare | Care Station 600 Series
The rep says this machine
was specifically designed for
outpatient surgery centers,
and it's easy to see that it's
true. They really went through
the extra effort to see what's
needed in our environment,
and what isn't.
It's sleek, it's small and it's
easy to move. They scaled it
down so it works in smaller
spaces, but they still have an
excellent ventilator and
good monitors, among other
features. We don't need a lot
of what's in the typical hos-
pital setting.
One of the things I really
like about it is that you can run your flows low, measure the gas
you're using and actually measure the cost — what you pay for
sevoflurane, isoflurane or whatever. I think that's going to help facili-
ties significantly cut costs.
It's also scaleable. You can add on different software as your sur-
gery center evolves. For example, if you start doing total joints and
ventilation becomes more challenging, available software can accom-
modate that.
Bottom line: It's simple and safe, and the fact that it can help con-
trol your costs is very helpful.
• CUSTOM DESIGNED The Care Station 600 Series is just right for
smaller surgical facilities. It's sleek, small and easy to move.
