Allied Healthcare Litholyme Carbon Dioxide Absorbent

The Litholyme utilizes a reliable visual indicator system to clearly signal when the absorbent is spent, helping ensure timely disposal and safety during anesthesia procedures.

• The absorbent granules are initially white when fresh.
• Upon saturation (after absorbing carbon dioxide, Compound A, and excessive heat), the pellets permanently change to a pale violet color.

This permanent color shift clearly indicates that the material must be discarded.

Yes, the patented Litholyme formula offers enhanced efficiency. It is designed to last 30% longer than conventional carbon dioxide absorbents. This extended lifespan provides key benefits, including increased safety during procedures and a reduced frequency of canister changes.

The Litholyme Carbon Dioxide Absorbent is available in seven distinct configurations to ensure broad compatibility across various anesthesia delivery systems. These options include both bulk/refill supplies and machine-specific cartridges:

• Bulk & Refill Options (4 types):
  • Cylindrical Canister (1 kg)
  • Bag Refill (1.5 liter)
  • Jerry Can (5 liter)
  • Bulk Pail (21 liter)
• Machine-Specific Cartridges (3 types):
  • GE Multi-Style Cartridge: Compatible with GE Avance Aespire and Aisys Systems.
  • GE Compact Style Cartridge: Compatible with the GE ADU Carestation.
  • Drager Style Cartridge: Compatible with Drager Apollo, Fabius GS, Pallas, and Primus Systems.

Yes, the Litholyme formula is specifically designed for enhanced safety and will not interact with sevoflurane or other inhalation anesthetics.

This is a critical safety feature because its patented formula is free of NaOH and KOH (Sodium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide), eliminating the risk of degradation or unwanted interactions with these critical agents during standard or low-flow anesthesia procedures.

Yes, the Allied Healthcare Litholyme absorbent is specifically engineered for use across a wide range of anesthesia machines. Due to its superior efficiency (lasting 30% longer than standard absorbents), it is particularly beneficial for standard and low-flow anesthesia techniques.

Litholyme is available in seven configurations, including specialized cartridges designed for seamless integration with major manufacturer systems:

• GE Systems: Compatible with Avance Aespire, Aisys, and ADU Carestation models.
• Drager Systems: Compatible with Apollo, Fabius GS, Pallas, and Primus Systems.

Additionally, standard containers such as cylindrical canisters, bulk pails, jerry cans, and refill bags are available for universal compatibility with systems that accept these types.

Yes, the Allied Healthcare Litholyme absorbent uses a patented, soda lime-based formula that is entirely free of NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and KOH (potassium hydroxide).

This absence of strong bases is a critical safety feature, as it eliminates the risk of interaction with sevoflurane and other inhalation anesthetics during procedures, contributing to a safer environment.

Yes, the Litholyme absorbent utilizes a high-performance, soda lime-based material specifically formulated for enhanced safety and efficiency in anesthesia applications. Key indicators of its quality include:

• Extended Efficiency: It lasts approximately 30% longer than conventional carbon dioxide absorbents, reducing the need for frequent canister changes.
• Chemical Safety: The patented formula is guaranteed to be free of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH). This crucial exclusion prevents unwanted chemical interactions with sevoflurane and other inhalation anesthetics.
• Comprehensive Absorption: It effectively removes carbon dioxide, Compound A, and excessive heat from the breathing circuit.
• Visual Indicator: Granules feature a clear, permanent color change from white to pale violet when exhausted, ensuring accurate monitoring.

Yes, Litholyme is specifically engineered to be highly effective for both standard and low-flow anesthesia delivery.

Its superior performance in these environments is supported by:

• Optimized Safety: The formula is free of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH), meaning it does not interact with sevoflurane or common inhalation anesthetics. This prevents the formation of compound A and minimizes heat generation during low-flow use.
• Enhanced Efficiency: The patented formula lasts 30% longer than standard carbon dioxide absorbents, providing reliable performance and reducing the frequency of canister changes in busy clinical settings.

The Litholyme Carbon Dioxide Absorbent is highly versatile and is offered in seven distinct container configurations to ensure compatibility with a wide variety of anesthesia systems and usage requirements.

These configurations are categorized to meet different needs:

• Bulk & Refill Options: Ideal for high-volume use or replenishing existing containers.
  • Bulk Pails (21 liter)
  • Jerry Cans (5 liter/case)
  • Bag Refills (1.5 liter/case)
• Standard Canister:
  • Cylindrical Canisters (1 kg/case)
• Specialized Cartridges: Designed for direct integration with leading anesthesia machines.
  • GE Multi-Style Cartridge
  • GE Compact Style Cartridge
  • Drager Style Cartridge

This variety ensures compatibility with popular models like the GE Avance Aespire, GE ADU Carestation, and Drager Apollo systems, provided the correct cartridge style is selected.

Yes, the Litholyme Carbon Dioxide Absorbent is specifically formulated to manage multiple elements within the anesthesia breathing circuit.

It efficiently absorbs:

• Carbon Dioxide
• Compound A
• Excessive heat

This comprehensive capability is essential for contributing to a safer and more stable anesthesia procedure.
