The Cavendish 250 was designed to replace the now aging Cavendish Junior. The name 250 was given due to the width of the backbar Although compact in design it was very versatile and can have up to three gases and pipeline connections. It came with a removable stainless steel tray and optional monitoring shelf and drawer. The model shown has a “Jumbo” Carbon dioxide absorber, MIE Pulse monitor and Oscillotonometer fitted. The back bar is fitted with a Cyprane Temperature controlled Tec 3 vaporizer.
It also had an option to fit an Oxygen Failsafe device. This device in the event of oxygen supply failing, will cut off the supply of all other gases and open an inspiratory valve to atmosphere allowing spontaneous breathing patients to breathe.
Approximately four years after launch a fully stainless steel chassis was introduced in 1982.
