Smiths Medical 371804-NL - Circuit Breathing Portex Anesthesia Adult 60" Corr 3L NS 15/Ca

The Smiths Medical 371804-NL Circuit Breathing Portex Anesthesia Adult 60 Inch Corrugated 3 Liter NS is a single-patient-use anesthesia breathing circuit designed for adult respiratory and anesthesia applications. Its dual-limb configuration provides separate pathways for inspiratory and expiratory gases, supporting organized gas delivery and removal during procedures requiring anesthesia equipment or compatible breathing systems.

This adult breathing circuit includes 60-inch corrugated tubing and a 3-liter breathing bag. The extended tubing length supports practical positioning between the patient and anesthesia machine while helping clinicians maintain an efficient and orderly procedural setup. The product is supplied 15 circuits per case for convenient inventory management in hospitals, surgery centers, and other clinical environments.

Compatibility and Applications

The Smiths Medical 371804-NL adult anesthesia breathing circuit is intended for use with compatible anesthesia machines, breathing systems, and respiratory equipment that accept standard adult circuit connections. It may be used in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, procedural suites, and other controlled clinical environments where adult anesthesia gases must be delivered and expired gases appropriately managed.

Before use, clinicians should confirm compatibility with the anesthesia machine, patient connection, ventilation mode, gas delivery components, and any additional accessories required for the procedure. Compatibility should always be verified according to the equipment manufacturers instructions and the healthcare facilitys established protocols.

Usage Guidelines

Remove the circuit from its packaging using appropriate clinical technique and inspect all tubing, connectors, and the breathing bag for visible damage, obstruction, disconnection, or contamination. Connect the inspiratory and expiratory limbs to the corresponding ports on the compatible anesthesia system, taking care to maintain the correct gas-flow orientation.

Attach the patient end and 3-liter breathing bag according to the selected anesthesia setup. Before connecting the circuit to the patient, perform the required pre-use system check, including leak testing, ventilation verification, gas-flow confirmation, and evaluation of all connections. Monitor circuit performance throughout the procedure and replace the circuit immediately if leakage, damage, obstruction, excessive condensation, or another performance concern is identified.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The Smiths Medical 371804-NL breathing circuit should be used in accordance with the manufacturers current instructions for use, applicable medical device requirements, institutional policies, and accepted anesthesia and respiratory care practices. Healthcare facilities should confirm current regulatory documentation, product labeling, and applicable standards for their jurisdiction before clinical use.

Only qualified healthcare professionals trained in anesthesia equipment, breathing circuits, airway management, and patient monitoring should prepare and use this product.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with generic adult anesthesia circuits, the Smiths Medical 371804-NL provides a recognizable Portex configuration with 60-inch corrugated dual-limb tubing and an included 3-liter breathing bag. The complete setup can reduce the need to source major circuit components separately and may help standardize anesthesia preparation across procedural areas.

Alternative circuits may use expandable, coaxial, single-limb, or different-length tubing. The appropriate choice depends on the anesthesia machine, clinical procedure, patient requirements, available workspace, and facility protocol. The 371804-NL is particularly suitable when a traditional adult dual-limb corrugated circuit with a 60-inch reach and 3-liter bag is preferred.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This anesthesia breathing circuit is commonly selected by anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesia technicians, respiratory therapists, operating room nurses, and other qualified clinical personnel. It is suitable for healthcare organizations that require dependable adult breathing circuits in case quantities.

Typical application scenarios include general anesthesia procedures, scheduled surgeries, outpatient procedures, and other clinical situations requiring connection between an adult patient and compatible anesthesia or breathing equipment. Final product selection must be based on the patients condition, procedural requirements, and the responsible clinicians judgment.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Store unopened circuits in a clean, dry area within the manufacturers recommended environmental conditions.
• Inspect the packaging and product before every procedure.
• Confirm that all connections are secure and properly oriented.
• Complete the anesthesia machine and circuit leak test before patient use.
• Position the tubing to reduce pulling, kinking, compression, and accidental disconnection.
• Monitor for condensation, obstruction, leakage, or changes in ventilation performance.
• Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize a single-patient-use circuit.
• Dispose of the circuit according to facility policy and applicable regulations.

Regulatory and Safety Information

This product is intended for professional medical use under the supervision of qualified healthcare personnel. It is not intended for unsupervised home use. Users must review the current product labeling and manufacturers instructions before preparing or using the circuit.

Do not use the product if the packaging is open, damaged, contaminated, or otherwise compromised. Verify the circuit configuration and all required accessories before beginning a procedure. Continuous patient monitoring is required during anesthesia and assisted ventilation. Any suspected malfunction, leak, obstruction, disconnection, or deterioration in circuit performance should be addressed immediately according to clinical protocol.
