Anesthesia machines are devices used to mix and make a flow of different medical gasses to specifically induce and maintain anesthesia. Often, anesthesia machines are used along with other breathing systems and monitoring devices, and many systems are all-in-one units that combine and integrate many devices into a freestanding unit known as an anesthesia machine. If you are looking to buy, sell, or repair anesthesia machines, look no further than Dr’s Toy Store, where we buy, sell, and repair all varieties of new and pre-owned medical equipment.

History of Anesthesia Machines
Anesthesia machines were made popular by Boyle’s anesthesia machine, which was invented by Henry Boyle, a British anesthetist at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London in 1917. Often, contemporary anesthesia machines are referred to as “Boyle’s machine” due to the originator Henry Boyle, and are usually attached to wheels so they can be conveniently transported.
Components of Anesthesia Machines
Whether you are buying, selling, or repairing an anesthesia machine, you need to consider the specific components in a typical anesthesia machine. These include at least the following:
- The anesthesia machine’s connections to oxygen, nitrous oxide and medical air coming from a wall supply in the facility, or alternatively gas cylinders attached to the anesthesia machine consisting of oxygen, nitrous oxide and air.
- Specific anesthesia machine pressure gauges, pop-off valves and regulators that are used to monitor gas pressure while protecting all of the anesthesia machine’s components along with the patient.
- Flowmeters which consist of rotameters for air, oxygen and nitrous oxide.
- Vaporisers that provide the perfect dosage control for the anesthesia machine.
- An oxygen flush for the anesthesia machine that is high-flowing, providing pure oxygen to the patient.
- Systems in the anesthesia machine that monitor all of the gasses that are exhaled by and administered to the patient, while also providing an oxygen failure warning device for emergencies.
