==Problem being addressed==
In remote locations, emergency situations and in the aftermath of disasters, medical facilities may be limited or virtually non-existent. Emergency surgical procedures requiring anaesthesia, such as caesarean section, may be necessary in these situations, where power supplies and medical gases are absent or unreliable.
==Detailed description of the solution==
The Diamedica Portable Anaesthesia (DPA) Series provides a complete inhalation anaesthesia system in a case, suitable to carry as aircraft hand luggage and robust enough for any field, emergency or remote situation. Designed for field use the DPA series requires no electrical supply or compressed gases to function. It uses ambient air as a carrier gas, although supplementary oxygen can be used if available. Built to withstand extremes of temperature and humidity. Contained in a shockproof, waterproof Peli case. Quick and easy to set up and pack away.
==Designed by==
Diamedica (UK) Ltd, Grange Hill Industrial Estate, Bratton Fleming, Devon EX31 4UH, United Kingdom
==When and where it was tested/implemented ==
In use in over 20 countries worldwide, mainly low-income countries, and utilised by emergency humanitarian relief charities.
