“…Marrett recommended that the apparatus should be used with halothane according to an algorithm and patient response but, of course, true concentrations would not have been known xiv . A Fluotec mark II (Cyprane Ltd., Keighley) 27,28 was bolted on the front by some anaesthetists xv but the vaporizer in circle function would have been lost. By then, the army had long ceased to use the apparatus.…”

“…With the introduction of halothane in 1957, anaesthetists became more accustomed to using known concentrations of volatile agents and so the apparatus became less popular although it continued in production until 1976 (Marrett, personal communication would not have been known xiv .

Major Rex Marrett in 1945 was commissioned to design an anaesthetic apparatus for field use to replace the Field Pattern Boyle's apparatus in use during the Second World War. His design was both elegant and avant garde and was capable of being used with all agents and circuitry then in current use. It was an economical machine with vaporizer in circle and carbon dioxide absorption as its chief mode of operation. The equipment and its later developments are described. Eventually the desire for knowing volatile agent concentrations led to its decline with production ceasing in 1976.
