Dräger Apollo
The Dräger Apollo Anesthesia Workstation delivers advanced ventilation technology and ergonomic efficiency for modern operating environments.
The Dräger Apollo Anesthesia Workstation delivers advanced ventilation technology and ergonomic efficiency for modern operating environments. Engineered with an E-Vent Plus servo-controlled piston ventilator, the Apollo provides ICU-level precision and eliminates the need for drive gas—achieving exceptional control and quiet operation. Its low-flow anesthesia capability significantly reduces anesthetic agent consumption and overall operating costs, allowing fresh gas flow rates as low as 1 L/min without compromising patient safety. Designed with workflow optimization in mind, the Apollo integrates the breathing system, power supply, and monitoring modules into a single, compact platform. This reduces external hoses and cables, minimizing clutter and the risk of accidental disconnection during critical procedures. The user interface is intuitive, featuring a 12.1-inch full-color touchscreen, streamlined startup, and a fully automatic self-test sequence that completes in approximately three minutes. The system’s robust construction, quiet operation, and comprehensive ventilation modes—including volume, pressure, SIMV, and pressure support—make the Dräger Apollo a premier choice for hospitals seeking reliability, accuracy, and comfort for both patients and clinicians.
