AX400 Anaesthesia Machine
Compact anaesthesia workstation with an 8.4-inch touchscreen and five ventilation modes, for adult and paediatric cases in open, semi-closed and closed circuits.
AX-400Overview
The AX-400 is an anaesthesia workstation sized for general theatres, district hospitals and day-surgery units. It delivers anaesthesia through open, semi-closed and closed breathing circuits for adult and paediatric patients, and its integrated ventilator runs VCV, PCV, SIMV-VC, SIMV-PC and pressure support, with tidal volumes from 15 ml to 1500 ml at 4 to 100 breaths per minute.
An 8.4-inch touchscreen shows airway pressure, flow and volume alongside the settings, with end-tidal CO2 and further gas monitoring available as options. Fresh gas is set on mechanical flow controls with dual flow tubes, which keeps low-flow anaesthesia precise, and the autoclavable breathing system has a leak rate of 65 ml/min. The AX-400 shares its platform with the AX-500, so theatres running both can use the same accessories and training.
Medix East Africa supplies the AX400 Anaesthesia Machine with pre-installation site assessment, delivery, installation and commissioning by our own biomedical engineers, and acceptance testing before handover. Operator training is delivered to the staff who will use it day to day, and technical training is available for your biomedical department.
After handover we hold genuine spare parts for the equipment we supply, run preventive maintenance under annual contract, and respond to faults across Kenya and the wider East African region. Pricing is issued by formal quotation, because it depends on configuration, quantity, delivery terms and warranty.
