The AneFin 100 is intended to speed emergence from the effects of volatile inhaled anesthetics by removing unwanted anesthetic gases and generating CO2 through partial rebreathing. It is intended for use with only Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and Desflurane.
Device Story
AneFin 100 is a gas scavenging and rebreathing device used in the operating room. It consists of dead space tubing placed between the endotracheal tube and the Y-piece of the breathing circuit, combined with an activated charcoal-based anesthetic gas absorber. The device functions by allowing partial rebreathing of expired gases, which increases CO2 levels to prevent hypocapnia during emergence from volatile anesthesia, while simultaneously scavenging waste anesthetic gases via charcoal adsorption. It is operated by clinicians in surgical settings. By managing CO2 levels and removing anesthetic agents, the device facilitates a faster recovery from anesthesia for the patient.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Activated charcoal, polypropylene housing, rebreathing hose. Form factor: Dead space tubing placed between endotracheal tube and Y-piece. Scavenging principle: Charcoal adsorption. CO2 management: Partial rebreathing via dead space. Connectivity: Standalone. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for surgical patients receiving volatile inhaled anesthetics (Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, Desflurane) to speed emergence from anesthesia.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gas-scavenging apparatus is a device intended to collect excess anesthetic, analgesic, or trace gases or vapors from a patient's breathing system, ventilator, or extracorporeal pump-oxygenator, and to conduct these gases out of the area by means of an exhaust system.
