== Background ==

The AB800 CO2 Absorber is a circular rebreathing system intended for continuous gas inhalation anesthesia in both adult humans and children weighing over 5 kg. It provides a method for introducing fresh gas into the circuit through the inspiratory limb and offers controlled flow through a soda-lime absorber canister in the expiratory limb to remove CO2.

The AB800 system is adaptable and can be used with varying flow rates of fresh gas for patient ventilation, including high flow, low flow, or minimal flow. Additionally, positive pressure ventilation can be administered either manually using a bag or through a bellows system powered by an anaesthetic ventilator and a manual switch control led by the user is used to determine which of these positive pressure sources is connected to the circle system.

== Identification ==

The AB800 CO2 Absorber is an integral component of a semi-closed patient breathing system that utilizes a circle absorber to eliminate CO2. The circle absorber section of the AB800 comprises two key elements:

# A canister designed for holding soda-lime absorbent.
# A machined block that contains the interconnections between the absorber system and external connectors.

The soda-lime canister is capable of accommodating up to 1 kg of soda-lime and is constructed from reusable polysulphone material. It securely attaches to the underside of the AB800 system by using a lever locking mechanism.

* Removable valve cover
* Silicone shutter unidirectional valves
* Fresh Gas Connector
* Patient Pressure manometer connector

The AB800 has been designed to be used in conjunction with the Signet 615 Anaesthetic Workstation, which provides a mounting bracket suitable for attachment of the absorber.
