Blackstone Standard Model HS-01B

Product Code: SATE-AAAME-3130

5.4 Inch Panel above an Integral Ventilator, One Vaporiser Position, Four Flowmeter Tubes and Six Breathing Modes

The Blackstone HS-01B standard model is a single vaporiser with a 5.4-inch panel and an integral ventilator. Oxygen and nitrous oxide reach it through four flowmeter tubes; one position holds the volatile agent; the delivered volume ranges from 50 to 1500 mL; and it offers six breathing modes, with the inspiratory band ranging from 4:1 at one end to 1:10 at the other. Available through Medigear.uk.

Place the two HS-01B versions side by side, with a single line dividing this vaporiser machine from its counterpart. This standard version mounts one vaporiser. The ADV mounts two. Panel size, breathing modes, delivered volume, inspiratory band, flowmeter arrangement and gas supply are printed word for word the same on both sheets. Where a department runs one volatile agent throughout, that difference takes nothing away, and the second mounting position would simply stand idle on the machine.

The awkward comparison is not with the ADV but with the HS-820. That machine also carries one vaporiser. It also runs oxygen and nitrous oxide on four tubes with no air. Its delivered volume and inspiratory band are identical. And it adds two breathing modes that this reference lacks. PEEP and volume-controlled ventilation, on a panel fractionally larger at 5.7 inches. On published specification alone, nothing here is offered that the HS-820 does not offer as well or better.

That is worth stating plainly rather than leaving a reader to work it out. Something absent from both sheets may separate them. Availability, lead time, servicing arrangements or terms of sale, none of which appears on a specification. Even so, a department choosing between the two on printed capability has no recorded reason to take this one. The absent PEEP is the same question raised by the ADV version, and it matters just as much.

Medigear.uk establishes the PEEP position and what genuinely distinguishes these machines before offering either.

A single vaporiser machine suits a department that has settled on one agent, and many have. Sevoflurane for induction and maintenance covers much general work, and on such a list, a second mounting position is hardware acquired and then never used. Where agents are alternated, the picture changes. Exchanging a vaporiser by hand between cases is an interruption nobody wants mid-list, and removing it is precisely what the ADV version is for.

This single vaporiser machine shares all its limitations with its relatives. Air is not piped to the flowmeter block, so nitrous oxide dilutes every mixture, which rules the machine out in departments that avoid the agent or have removed the supply. Delivered volume starting at 50 ml keeps infant anaesthesia outside its range. Capnography appears nowhere on the sheet in any form, and British practice calls for it continuously through the whole of each case.

PEEP remains the question that decides everything else. Used as routine rather than rescue, it counters the lung collapse that begins soon after induction, and it is leaned on hardest in precisely the cases a general list throws up: larger patients, head-down positioning, and anything that runs long into an afternoon. Both HS-01B versions omit it from the printed mode list, while both of the larger Blackstone machines include it without qualification.

Medigear.uk establishes whether PEEP is genuinely unavailable, and on what basis, before putting this single vapouriser machine in front of any theatre.

Nothing Fitted That Goes Unused

When a department has settled on one volatile agent, a single mounting position is the honest configuration; a second would stand idle.

An Inspiratory Band Published Properly

Running 4:1 down to 1:10 is the span a machine of this type ought to give, and Blackstone prints it clearly across this family.

Six Modes for Straightforward Work

Assist control, IPPV, SIPPV, IMV, SIMV and hand ventilation cover adult lists where end-expiratory pressure is not being applied.

Paired Tubes on Each Gas

Four tubes divided between two gases allow llow-flowadjustment with more precision than a single control per gas 

Hand Ventilation Listed

Manual sits among the modes beside the automatic ones, so bagging remains available exactly as an anaesthetist expects.

A Small Theatre Footprint

At 5.4 inches, the panel and the machine beneath it take up less room than the larger HS-850 requires.

Monitor Available Separately

A patient monitor may be ordered alongside, which carries weight given how little this machine monitors on its own.

Identical Ventilator to the ADV

Choosing this version rather than the two-vaporiser one gives up nothing whatever in breathing capability.

Panel of 5.4 inches

TFT, matching the ADV version exactly.

Integral Ventilator

Built into the machine rather than attached.

Six Modes of Breathing

Assist control and IPPV through to SIPPV, IMV, SIMV and hand.

PEEP Not Among Them

As on the ADV, though both larger machines list it.

Delivered volume: 50 to 1500 mL

Shared with the ADV and the HS-820.

Inspiratory Span, 4:1 through 1:10

Likewise shared with both of those.

Four Flowmeter Tubes

Divided between oxygen and nitrous oxide.

One Vaporiser Position

The single entry separating this from the ADV.

Halothane Vaporiser Optional

Supplied apart from the machine.

Patient Monitor Optional

Orderable alongside the unit.

Two comparisons matter here, and they point in different directions. Against the ADV version, this machine differs by one vaporiser position and nothing else printed, so a department using a single agent throughout gives up no capability by taking it. Against the HS-820, the picture is harder. That machine carries the same one vaporiser, the same two gases, the same delivered volume,e and the same inspiratory band, on a larger panel, and adds PEEP and volume-controlled ventilation. Nothing printed on this sheet is better. Something unprinted may separate them,m and we ask what it is, but capability alone gives no reason to choose this reference. PEEP, capnography, the oxygen monitor, an anti-hypoxic interlock and conformity marking all remain unresolved throughout the Blackstone range. Medigear.uk settles them before quoting this single vapouriser machine.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The vaporiser count, and nothing else that is printed. This has one position; the ADV has two. The panel, modes, delivered volume, inspiratory band, flowmeters, and gases appear identically on both sheets, so a department running a single agent loses nothing by taking this one.

Unfavourably, on paper. The HS-820 carries the same single vapouriser and the same two gases, on a slightly larger panel, and lists PEEP and volume-controlled ventilation, which this machine does not. We have found nothing printed that this reference does better.

That question cannot be answered from the sheet. Availability, lead time, servicing arrangements or commercial terms may separate them, and none of those appears on a specification. What we can say is that published capability gives no reason to prefer this machine over the HS-820.

The mode list omits it, as on the ADV version, while both HS-820 and HS-850 print it. PEEP is applied routinely in anaesthesia rather than occasionally, so establishing whether this is a real limitation or a printing shortfall comes before every other consideration on the sheet.

No. Four tubes serve oxygen and nitrous oxide, and air is piped nowhere, so every diluted mixture must use nitrous oxide. Departments avoiding that agent, or those which have removed the supply entirely, cannot use this machine for routine lists.

Not infants. Delivered volume opens at 50 ml, whereas the HS-850 descends to 20. The small end of paediatric anaesthesia therefore falls outside what this machine publishes, and it should be specified for adult work and treated accordingly throughout.

By exchanging the vaporiser on its single position. The ADV version avoids that by carrying two mounted units, so a department alternating agents between cases should weigh the handling involved rather than assume one position is sufficient.

What genuinely distinguishes this reference from the HS-820: whether PEEP and VCV are available, conformity marking and design standard, capnography, oxygen monitoring, the hypoxic interlock, breathing rate and pressure bands, gas flow, flush, alarms, scavenging, circuit, mains, size, and mass.
