Important:
The vaporizer manifold O-rings required for your NAD / Dräger anesthesia machine are dependent on the
place of manufacture of the anesthesia machine vaporizer manifold. Datex-Ohmeda cannot determine the
specific requirements of your NAD / Dräger anesthesia machine. Therefore, per a written request from
Dräger Medical, Inc., this D-Tec series vaporizer does not include replacement O-rings for the anesthesia
machine vaporizer manifold. Please contact your Dräger Medical representative to obtain the correct O-rings
for your system.
