The Dräger Fabius MRI anesthesia workstation is specifically engineered for safe, reliable operation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environments, supporting systems up to 1.5 and 3 Tesla. Combining precision performance with MRI compatibility, the Fabius MRI provides comprehensive ventilation capabilities — including volume control, pressure control, pressure support, SIMV/PS, manual, and spontaneous modes — making it suitable for a wide range of patient needs. Powered by Dräger’s E-vent piston ventilator, the Fabius MRI delivers consistent, high peak flow performance without the need for drive gas, ensuring efficient, ICU-level ventilation. A high-visibility color display with integrated warning and alarm LEDs ensures critical information is easy to read, even from a distance within the MRI suite. Designed with non-magnetic components and advanced electronic control, the system integrates all core anesthesia functions into a mobile trolley unit. It includes a 2-position vaporizer mount, pressure gauges, Dräger CLIC absorber, and Anesthetic Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) — all optimized for MRI use. The unit’s central brake, three large drawers, and compact breathing system offer ergonomic efficiency and safe mobility in confined MRI environments.
