Vaporizer Installation and Disassembly

3 - 4 Operator’s Manual of Anesthesia System

3.4 Vaporizer

The equipment contains a 2-position vaporizer system to enable anesthetic agents to be introduced

into the fresh gas flow. Two vaporizers are supported, but only one vaporizer can be used at a time.

Isoflurane, Desflurane and Sevoflurane vaporizers can be used.

CAUTION: Only vaporizers with Selectatec® Interlock-Systems may be used with

this equipment.

WARNING: Use vaporizers compliant with ISO 80601-2-13. Refer to the vaporizer

manufacturer’s Instructions For Use for installing, filling or draining the

vaporizer and other information.

WARNING: Use care in lifting and manipulating vaporizers during the installing

process as their weight may be greater than expected.

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.

1. To replace or remove a 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 installing bar, slightly tilting back the

vaporizer. Hang the vaporizer on the installing bar as shown in Figure 3-1. Ensure that the

locking mechanism handle is in the unlocked position.

NOTE: If installing a Desflurane vaporizer, refer to the manufacturer’s Instructions

For Use on installation and use of the vaporizer.
