The GE Datex-Ohmeda Aestiva 5 is a versatile anesthesia workstation engineered for precision, reliability, and adaptability across a broad range of surgical environments. Designed to support both pediatric and adult patients, the Aestiva 5 integrates advanced ventilation performance with an ergonomic, modular design that enhances clinical efficiency and safety. Equipped with the 7100 or 7900 SmartVent™ ventilators, the Aestiva 5 delivers ICU-quality ventilation and advanced respiratory control. Its integrated breathing circuit allows for low- and minimal-flow anesthesia, reducing anesthetic agent consumption and operating costs without compromising performance. The Aestiva 5’s flexible design supports two or three vaporizer configurations, compatible with Tec 5, Tec 6 Plus, and Tec 7 vaporizers. Its modular construction also offers customizable drawers, shelves, and accessory rails to fit any clinical setup. Built-in diagnostics and self-check systems further ensure reliability during every case. With its compact footprint, durable design, and optional MRI-compatible variant (Aestiva/5 MRI), this system remains a trusted solution in operating rooms worldwide for dependable anesthesia delivery.
