Abstract
An anaesthesia apparatus has a control unit that controls a gas flow of a flushing gas through at least part of the anaesthesia apparatus so as to flush anaesthetic agent from the apparatus when the apparatus is not connected to a patient. In this way the remaining anaesthetic agent can be removed from the anaesthesia apparatus after use before connecting another patient. Pre-use check of the apparatus can be performed automatically.
