Smiths Medical 372007 - CIRCUIT ANES 2L GAS SAMP STRT PED 20/CA
The Smiths Medical 372007 is a disposable pediatric anesthesia breathing circuit designed to support controlled delivery and return of respiratory and anesthetic gases during pediatric procedures. This Portex dual-limb circuit features 40-inch corrugated tubing, a gas sampling port elbow, a straight wye connector, a bacterial and viral filter, and a 2-liter breathing bag.
Supplied as 20 circuits per case, the Smiths Medical 372007 provides healthcare facilities with a complete, procedure-ready breathing circuit configuration for operating rooms, surgical centers, pediatric anesthesia departments, and other controlled clinical environments.
Key Benefits
- Pediatric configuration supports age-appropriate anesthesia and respiratory procedures.
- Dual-limb design provides separate inspiratory and expiratory pathways.
- Gas sampling port elbow supports connection to compatible respiratory gas monitoring equipment.
- Straight wye connector provides a practical patient-side connection.
- Bacterial and viral filter supports infection-control protocols and circuit protection.
- Corrugated tubing offers flexibility for positioning around anesthesia equipment and the patient area.
- Included 2-liter breathing bag supports manual ventilation and respiratory system observation.
- Disposable construction helps reduce cleaning requirements and cross-contamination concerns.
- Case packaging of 20 supports routine stocking in high-use clinical departments.
Compatibility and Applications
The Smiths Medical 372007 pediatric anesthesia circuit is intended for use with compatible anesthesia machines, breathing systems, respiratory monitoring equipment, and standard clinical connectors. Its dual-limb configuration is suitable for pediatric surgical procedures requiring controlled gas delivery, exhaled gas return, filtration, and gas sampling.
Typical applications include pediatric general anesthesia, outpatient surgery, hospital operating rooms, procedural care areas, and other environments where a disposable pediatric breathing circuit is clinically appropriate. Compatibility should be confirmed with the anesthesia machine, monitor, patient interface, and any additional accessories before use.
Usage Guidelines
- Inspect the package before opening and do not use the circuit if the packaging is damaged, opened, or contaminated.
- Confirm that the product number and pediatric circuit configuration match the planned procedure and equipment.
- Connect the inspiratory and expiratory limbs to the corresponding ports on the compatible anesthesia machine.
- Secure the straight wye connector and gas sampling port elbow according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
- Attach the 2-liter breathing bag and bacterial and viral filter in the correct positions.
- Perform the required pre-use leak, flow, pressure, and connection checks before attaching the circuit to the patient.
- Monitor ventilation, airway pressure, gas concentrations, oxygen delivery, and circuit integrity throughout the procedure.
- Dispose of the circuit after use according to facility policies and applicable regulations.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The Smiths Medical 372007 should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's current labeling, institutional clinical protocols, anesthesia equipment instructions, and applicable healthcare safety requirements. Users should review the product packaging for current regulatory information, material disclosures, storage instructions, and approved indications.
Only qualified healthcare professionals trained in pediatric anesthesia, airway management, and respiratory monitoring should assemble and operate the circuit. The complete breathing system should be tested before every procedure to verify secure connections, unobstructed gas flow, and acceptable leak performance.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with basic pediatric breathing circuits that require multiple separately sourced components, the Smiths Medical 372007 combines dual-limb tubing, a gas sampling port elbow, a straight wye connector, a bacterial and viral filter, and a 2-liter breathing bag in one convenient configuration. This can simplify product selection, preparation, and inventory management.
The 40-inch tubing length provides a balance between working reach and manageable circuit volume for pediatric applications. The integrated gas sampling connection also distinguishes this model from circuits without a dedicated sampling port. Healthcare facilities should compare tubing length, limb configuration, connector design, filter inclusion, breathing bag capacity, material requirements, and equipment compatibility when evaluating alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This pediatric anesthesia breathing circuit is commonly selected by anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesia technicians, respiratory therapists, operating room nurses, and clinical supply teams. It is appropriate for hospitals, children's hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty surgical facilities, and procedural departments that maintain pediatric anesthesia supplies.
A typical application involves connecting the circuit to an anesthesia machine before a pediatric surgical procedure, completing the required breathing-system checks, and using the gas sampling port with compatible monitoring equipment. The included filter and breathing bag support an organized setup without requiring each primary component to be obtained separately.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
- Store unopened circuits in a clean, dry area within the temperature and environmental conditions stated on the packaging.
- Rotate inventory according to expiration dates and facility stock-management procedures.
- Keep protective packaging sealed until the circuit is required for a procedure.
- Check every connector, limb, elbow, filter, and breathing bag before use.
- Support the tubing to prevent excessive pulling, compression, twisting, or accidental disconnection.
- Position the circuit to reduce unnecessary mechanical pressure on the patient's airway interface.
- Keep the gas sampling connection secure and confirm that the sampling pathway is functioning correctly.
- Continuously observe the circuit for condensation, obstruction, leakage, damage, or changes in ventilation performance.
- Do not clean, reprocess, or reuse a circuit labeled for single-patient or disposable use.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The Smiths Medical 372007 is intended for professional clinical use. Product selection, assembly, testing, monitoring, and disposal must be performed under the direction of qualified healthcare personnel. Confirm the patient's clinical requirements and the compatibility of all anesthesia machine connections, monitoring lines, filters, accessories, and patient interfaces before beginning ventilation.
Do not use the circuit if any component appears damaged, blocked, loose, contaminated, or incorrectly assembled. Verify material and latex-related requirements from the current product packaging before use, particularly when treating patients or staff with known sensitivities. Follow institutional infection-control procedures and applicable regulations when disposing of used breathing circuits.
