GE HealthCare announced the unveiling of Carestation 850, its next-generation, US Food and Drug Administration 510(k) pending anesthesia delivery system designed to help care teams adapt to evolving clinical and operational needs. The FDA 510(k) submission for Carestation 850 follows the recent CE mark in Europe and Australian Therapeutic Goods approval in Australia and New Zealand.
“In the dynamic operating environment, anesthesia professionals are focused on safety while managing increasingly complex cases and changing patient needs,” says John Beard, MD, anesthesiologist and chief medical officer of patient care solutions at GE HealthCare, in a release. “As anesthesia care teams face new challenges, technology can help ease the burden and support safer and more effective care delivery. We’re excited about the potential of Carestation 850 to meet today’s demands in anesthesia delivery and evolve with health systems in the future.”
Carestation 850 is designed to help clinicians more confidently care for each patient and optimize procedural outcomes. To support clinical decision making, the widescreen display and an enhanced user interface aim to deliver clear data visualization. The system also features a vaporization platform designed with advanced alerting capabilities and the ability to refill while in use that could help anesthesia providers proactively manage cases and minimize disruptions. Additionally, Carestation 850 is designed to include tools and applications to aid health systems’ sustainability goals.
“The unveiling of Carestation 850 reinforces our commitment to advancing care that can think one step ahead with its potential to evolve with the changing health systems’ needs through continuously optimized algorithms and adaptable technologies,” says Alla K. Woodson, general manager, anesthesia and global services, GE HealthCare, in a release. “We listened to our customers, and with their help we created Carestation 850, a solution that has potential to transform the future of perioperative care and complement the expertise of clinicians in the operating room by delivering precision, sustainability, and efficiency.”
