The Dräger Perseus A500 is the first anesthesia workstation, which was stringently designed to combine state-of-the-art workplace ergonomics with the latest device technology taking both, esthetic and functional aspects into account. Together with users from all over the world, a highly flexible device configuration concept was created to allow for more than 120 individual workplace set-ups. Apart from the new, characteristical worktable the new concept provides a choice of storage shelves, drawers as well as an integrated cable management solution to further optimize the workplace.
