CAUTION: Only use vaporizers with Selectatec Interlock Systems with the A7 unit.
WARNING: Use vaporizers compliant to ISO 80601-2-13. See section A.9 (page A-4)
"Vaporizers". Refer to the vaporizer manufacturer’s Instructions For
Use for mounting, filling, or draining the vaporizer and other
information.
WARNING: Use care in lifting and manipulating vaporizers during the mounting
process as their weight may be greater than expected, based on their
size and shape.
NOTE: The barometric pressure may differ from the calibration pressure of the
anesthetic vaporizer. This may cause an inaccurate output of the
anesthetic agent. The operator should continuously monitor the
concentration of anesthetic agent during system use to determine if
the output concentration is accurate.
FIGURE 2-1 Location of Vaporizer Mounting System
1. If replacing and removing the vaporizer, lift each vaporizer straight up off the manifold. Do
not pull the vaporizer forward. Do not rotate the vaporizer on the manifold.
2. Align the new vaporizer over the valve cartridges of the mounting bar, slightly tilting back
the vaporizer. Hang the vaporizer on the mounting bar (see FIGURE 2-2). Ensure that the
