Smoothbore Anesthesia Circuit Kit

This smoothbore anesthesia circuit kit uses tubing with a smooth inner wall, which offers lower resistance to gas flow than a corrugated tube of the same diameter. The tubing is also lighter, which reduces drag on the airway, and the smooth transparent wall makes condensate easier to see. Each kit is assembled from a fixed combination of circuit length, single tube, breathing bag and connectors.

The smooth inner wall is the defining feature of this circuit type. With no ribs to disturb the gas flow, resistance is lower and the tube is lighter than a corrugated circuit of the same diameter. Smooth walls also allow condensate to be seen more easily through the tubing, and the reduced weight means less pull on the airway. Smoothbore circuits are often chosen for low-flow anesthesia and for pediatric patients, where lower resistance is an advantage.

Other combinations of circuit length, bag size and accessories can be supplied to order: Breathing bag, Breathing system filter, Anesthetic mask, Gas sampling line

Key Features:

• Smooth inner wall for lower resistance to gas flow

• Lighter tubing weight reduces drag on the airway

• Transparent wall makes condensate easier to see

• Supplied as a fixed kit with circuit, single tube, connectors and breathing bag

• Available for adult, pediatric and infant patients

• Optional breathing system filter, anesthetic mask and gas sampling line

• Accessories and combinations can be customized

Applications:

• Low-flow anesthesia

• Pediatric anesthesia where lower resistance is an advantage

• Procedures where a lightweight circuit reduces drag on the airway

• Where condensate needs to be monitored visually

Important Notes:

• Single use only unless components are specified as reusable.

• Do not use if the package is damaged or opened.

• Smoothbore tubing kinks more readily than corrugated tubing; check the routing of the circuit during use.

• Do not allow the tubing to become compressed or trapped under equipment.

• Check that all connections are secure before use.

• Do not use the breathing system filter with a nebulizer; medication may be trapped.

• This product is a breathing system. It does not provide ventilatory support on its own.

The duo-limb circuit in this kit is listed in Verification of Conformity No. ICR/VC/HM2603270 and manufactured under an ISO 13485:2016 certified quality management system (Certificate No. CN25-10207H). Components are included in our FDA device listing, Owner/Operator No. 10096597.
