Smiths Medical 371056-NL - CIRCUIT ANESTHESIA ADULT 50.8MMDIA 40INL DUAL-LIMB GAS SAMPLING PORT ELBOW STRAIGHT WYE 3L BAG 10FTL MALE/MALE GAS SAMPLING LINE PORTEX LATEX-FREE DISPOSABLE (20/CS)

The Smiths Medical 371056-NL anesthesia circuit is a disposable, latex-free adult breathing circuit designed for use during anesthesia delivery and respiratory gas management. This dual-limb circuit features a 50.8 mm diameter configuration, a 40-inch circuit length, a gas sampling port elbow, a straight wye connector, a 3-liter breathing bag, and a 10-foot male-to-male gas sampling line.

Designed for efficient operating room preparation, the complete circuit configuration helps establish a reliable connection between compatible anesthesia equipment and the patient airway interface. The product is supplied in a case of 20 individually configured disposable circuits.

Key Benefits

• Dual-limb adult anesthesia circuit supports separate inspiratory and expiratory gas pathways.
• 40-inch circuit length provides practical positioning flexibility around the anesthesia workstation.
• Gas sampling port elbow supports connection to compatible respiratory gas monitoring equipment.
• Included 10-foot male-to-male gas sampling line provides extended reach for monitoring connections.
• Straight wye connector helps create an organized connection near the patient airway.
• Included 3-liter breathing bag supports manual ventilation and observation of breathing system activity.
• Latex-free construction helps facilities accommodate patients and healthcare workers with latex sensitivities.
• Disposable design supports infection-control practices and reduces reprocessing requirements.
• Case packaging of 20 circuits supports inventory management in high-volume surgical departments.

Compatibility and Applications

The Smiths Medical 371056-NL circuit is intended for use with compatible adult anesthesia delivery systems, breathing system components, gas monitoring equipment, airway connectors, masks, and endotracheal tube assemblies. Compatibility must be confirmed according to the dimensions, connector requirements, and operating instructions of all equipment being used.

Typical applications include general surgery, outpatient procedures, hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, procedural sedation areas, and other clinical environments where adult anesthesia gases and respiratory support are administered under professional supervision.

Usage Guidelines

Before use, inspect the package and circuit components for damage, contamination, loose connections, or visible defects. Assemble the inspiratory and expiratory limbs according to the anesthesia machine configuration and connect the straight wye, gas sampling components, breathing bag, and patient interface as required.

Perform the anesthesia machine and breathing circuit leak test recommended by the equipment manufacturer before connecting the circuit to a patient. Confirm that all fittings are secure, the gas sampling line is unobstructed, and the breathing bag inflates and deflates appropriately. Continuously monitor airway pressure, ventilation, oxygenation, carbon dioxide levels, and other required clinical parameters throughout the procedure.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The Smiths Medical 371056-NL should be used in accordance with the manufacturers labeling, applicable healthcare regulations, institutional policies, anesthesia equipment instructions, and recognized respiratory care practices. Healthcare facilities should verify current regulatory status and product documentation for their location before clinical use.

Only trained anesthesia, respiratory care, or other qualified healthcare professionals should assemble and operate the circuit. The product should not be used when the packaging is damaged, the connectors do not fit securely, or the circuit fails a required pre-use inspection or leak test.

Comparison with Competitors

Unlike basic adult breathing circuits that may require separate sourcing of monitoring accessories, the Smiths Medical 371056-NL combines a dual-limb circuit, gas sampling port elbow, straight wye, 3-liter breathing bag, and a 10-foot male-to-male gas sampling line in one convenient configuration.

The 40-inch length provides a compact option for standard anesthesia workstation setups, while the latex-free disposable construction supports efficient turnover between procedures. Buyers should compare circuit length, limb diameter, connector type, sampling line configuration, breathing bag capacity, packaging quantity, and anesthesia machine compatibility when evaluating alternative products.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This adult anesthesia circuit is suitable for anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesia assistants, operating room nurses, respiratory therapists, and clinical supply teams. It may be selected by hospitals, surgical centers, specialty clinics, and outpatient facilities that require a disposable dual-limb breathing circuit with integrated gas sampling components.

Common scenarios include preparing an anesthesia workstation for an adult surgical case, replacing a used breathing circuit between patients, supporting respiratory gas sampling during anesthesia, and maintaining standardized procedure-room inventory.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Store unopened circuits in a clean, dry area away from excessive heat, moisture, direct sunlight, and potential physical damage.
• Verify the product number and configuration before opening the package.
• Check all circuit limbs, connectors, elbows, sampling ports, and tubing before use.
• Secure the circuit to reduce pulling, twisting, compression, or accidental disconnection.
• Keep the gas sampling line free from kinks, fluid accumulation, and obstruction.
• Complete all required anesthesia machine checks and breathing system leak tests before patient connection.
• Monitor the circuit continuously for condensation, disconnection, leakage, increased resistance, or impaired gas flow.
• Do not attempt to clean, reprocess, or reuse a product identified as disposable.
• Dispose of the used circuit according to facility procedures and applicable medical waste requirements.

Regulatory and Safety Information

This product is intended for professional healthcare use in appropriately equipped clinical environments. Clinicians must confirm patient suitability, equipment compatibility, circuit integrity, and correct assembly before initiating anesthesia or respiratory support.

Improper connection, blocked tubing, excessive condensation, circuit leakage, component separation, or incorrect use may interfere with ventilation and gas monitoring. Follow the manufacturers current instructions for use, facility safety procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements. Product specifications and packaging information should be verified before ordering or clinical use.
