1.4 What is an Engström Carestation?
The Engström Carestation (EC) is a critical care ventilator that is flexible and
physically adaptable to a variety of work environments. It has an intuitive user
interface that is common to many Datex-Ohmeda products. A wide selection
of performance options gives the user full control of the system configuration.
The Engström Carestation is a complete system featuring patient monitoring,
patient ventilation, and the capability of interfacing with central monitoring.

of the product. Some photos and drawings show accessories and options that
may not be present or available on all variants. This manual does not cover
the operation of every accessory; refer to the accessory documentation for
further information.
The EC must only be operated by authorized medical personnel well trained in
the use of this product, for patient ventilation in the intensive care
environment. It must be operated according to the instructions in the User’s
Reference manual. The ventilator is designed to be used with infant through
adult patients with a body weight of 5 kg or greater. If the neonatal option is
installed on the ventilator, patients weighing down to 0.5 kg may be ventilated
by the EC. The EC is designed to maintain lung ventilation in the absence of
spontaneous breathing effort as well as in support of the patient’s existing
spontaneous breathing effort.
