Prima 320 Advance Now Available with Sidestream Anaesthetic Gas Monitoring and Age-related MAC

The Penlon Prima 320 Advance anaesthetic machine is now available with Masimo Sidestream anaesthetic gas monitoring options. The Prima 320 Advance is configurable with Masimo® ISA AX+ and ISA OR+ anaesthetic gas monitoring options. Both configurations provide real-time, accurate and continuous measurement of inspired and expired CO₂, N₂O, Halothane, Isoflurane, Enflurane, Sevoflurane, and Desflurane with automatic agent identification and optional paramagnetic O₂ measurement. In addition to the new Sidestream monitoring options, the Prima 320 Advance with anaesthetic gas monitoring provides an Age-related and Nitrous Oxide affected MAC (Minimum Alveolar Concentration) value in an easy-to-read display on the touchscreen.

The Prima 320 Advance is a high-specification anaesthesia machine with a 10.4” touchscreen and eight ventilation modes, which provide the ideal solution for today’s busy operating room.

Craig Thompson, Penlon’s Product Manager, said:

“This latest update to the Prima 320 Advance gives users a greater choice of anaesthetic gas monitoring options, with the added benefit of age-related and nitrous oxide affected MAC values easily visible on the touchscreen display and optional paramagnetic O₂ measurement.”
