Also known as an anaesthesia machine, it may include an oxygen concentrator or function with mounted medical gas cylinders, and typically has mechanical gas-delivery devices (e.g., flowmeters and vaporizers). It may incorporate a powered or manual anaesthesia ventilator, a patient breathing circuit, and gas monitoring devices; patient monitors are typically separately mounted (not integral).
