In close cooperation with renowned physicians at home and abroad, F. Stephan GmbH has succeeded in the on-going development of an anesthesia system which fulfils all possible requirements in terms of reliability, robust design and efficiency. ARTEC stands out particularly with its clear operation concept and modular structure which permits an optimum configuration for every specific requirements profile. A proven concept which can be combined with the oxygen generator STAXEL for fully autonomous operation, with its own oxygen and AIR generation. Whether for daily use in hospitals or for crisis and disaster regions, ARTEC guarantees outstanding results and is almost indestructible. The ideal addition to the anesthesia system ARTEC which can be equipped with an internal battery as optional feature, is the ventilator ABV-U with a large number of ventilation possibilities and safe monitoring of stenosis, disconnection and power failure. Other almost indispensable components for optimum patient care include the anesthesia gas monitor NGM 1000 together with an O2 and volume monitor, each with adjustable alarm limits.
