Elegant modern design in a slim, compact frame well suited for constrained environments. The intuitive CARESCAPE* inspired user interface helps deliver a unified Carestation user experience.
15” Touchscreen
The intelligently organized, easy to use 15” touchscreen ventilator display includes time saving tools to help simplify your workload. Scalable software and hardware choices allow you to “build your own” Carestation to suit your needs.
CBS600: Compact Breathing System
The Compact Breathing System (CBS600) is specifically designed with low flow anesthesia in mind. Fast gas kinetics support rapid wash-in and wash-out of agent and gases. Digitally controlled flow valve ventilator supports all patient types.
Intelligent lighting
Active flow controls and auxiliary ports are illuminated when in use. Digital sensors recognize when gas flows are paused or ACGO controls are in use and are reinforced with clear, on screen information.
Workspace lighting
Bi-level work surface illumination and intelligent flow control lights provide lighting to support clinician workflows and clearly indicate active flow controls when in use.

Benefits

High touch precision. Low flow performance.

GE is a leader in designing Carestations specifically suited to the practice of low-flow anesthesia delivery and its fast wash-in/wash-out requirements. Ensuring quick patient response to changes in fresh gas and anesthetic agent may positively impact anesthetic costs and improve induction and emergence - optimizing time in the OR.

Elegantly engineered and appointed with ergonomic touches and software driven time-savers, the Carestation 600 series can help enhance workflows, optimize precious OR time and help hospitals bend the cost curve.

Small footprint: mobility & rugged durability
Simple and fast guided daily checkout process -as fast as three minutes
Intuitive flat menu UI & ergonomic touches
Advanced ventilation & automated procedures¹
ecoFLOW Option & Pause Gas Control¹
Easy disassembly & cleaning

Automated procedures and time saving workflow tools

Vital Capacity procedure

Automated bag “squeeze and hold”

Set PEEP to help sustain open lung 2,3

Cycling procedure

Clinician-configured ventilation procedures

Programmable steps for increasing and decreasing PEEP levels

Pause Gas Flow

Simplifies temporary circuit disconnects. One button temporarily stops all gas flows and suspends alarms, agent delivery and ventilation so you can place all your focus on the patient.

Pause Gas feature helps prevent OR pollution

Stops gas & agent flow and silences all alarms for up to 1 minute

Uncompromised Ventilation – Pediatric to Adult Low Tidal Volume Delivery

Tidal Volumes as low as 5 ml to the patient¹

Sampling flow down to 120 ml/min

Lung Capacity and FRC

Compliance Measurement and Spirometry

Smart Agent Settings Design

Circuit Compliance Compensation ensures that what you set is what you get, precisely showing what is delivered to the patient and taking into account volume in the patient circuit.

Monitors and responds to changes in the patient’s airway pressure or respiratory efforts up to 250 times per second.

Precision volume and pressure delivery to the patient Y-piece, breath by breath, help reduce the challenges in managing pediatric patients.

Anesthetic agents are the biggest ongoing expense associated with anesthesia units. Reducing fresh gas flow during maintenance of anesthesia is associated with several benefits. Enhanced preservation of temperature and humidity, cost savings through more efficient utilization of inhaled anesthetics, and environmental considerations are three key reasons to implement a low-flow friendly practice.¹

ecoFLOW is a display option that provides a graphical representation of oxygen flow and anesthetic agent use that has the potential to reduce agent costs when agent waste gases are reduced.²

ecoFLOW Display: How it looks…how it works.

The "Fi25 O2" target is the target to maintain patient circuit oxygen at 25%

Maintain "O2 total" to be greater than "Fi25 O2 flow"

Adjust flow to help mitigate the risk of hypoxic delivery or avoid excess FGF delivery
