Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
Vaporizers (Optional)
Note: Before operating the vaporizer, pay special
attention to the Instructions for Use of the
vaporizer being used. Note especially the
vaporizer flow limits.
The Dräger Vapor anesthetic agent vaporizers are
used to enrich the fresh gas with a precisely metered
quantity of vapor from the liquid anesthetic agent
being used, i.e. Isoflurane, Halothane, Enflurane,
Sevoflurane, or Desflurane.
When using a Desflurane vaporizer, it must be
connected to mains power. The auxiliary power outlet
(IEC/EN 60320-2-2/F) near the vaporizer exclusion
system is provided for that purpose.
The vaporizers being used must comply with
standard ISO 8835-4. If the internal gas
measurement system fails, an independent
measurement system complying with ISO 21647
must be used
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
Risk of ambient air contamination
To prevent vaporizer leakage, which may lead to
low fresh-gas delivery, impaired manual
ventilation, or contamination of the ambient air,
the D-Vapor must be mounted very carefully.
Avoid catching the D-Vapor power cable behind/
underneath the housing. Make sure that the
D-Vapor is upright. Always perform a leak test
after mounting the vaporizer.
CAUTION!
Risk of patient injury
If the vaporizer is not correctly mounted, the fresh-
gas flow will not be supplied with anesthetic agent
and the patient will not receive the correct
anesthesia.
Always double-check the position of the vaporizer,
make sure it is correctly mounted and do not mount
the vaporizer park holder close to the operable
vaporizer.
