System overview
Overview of functions
Each vaporizer is calibrated for the anesthetic
agent specified on the device and is only suitable
for that anesthetic agent.
The delivered concentration is, for the most part,
not influenced by operating and ambient
conditions, such as temperature, gas flow and
ventilation pressure. See chapter "Description",
page 109 to page 111.
The vaporizer is inserted in the fresh-gas line of the
anesthesia workstation which typically delivers a
continuous fresh-gas flow. The vaporizer is
connected between the fresh-gas metering unit and
the fresh-gas outlet.
Functional integrity of the vaporizer is dependent
on the direction of flow. The vaporizer must be
connected and operated in accordance with the
direction of flow specified on the device. The use of
the vaporizer with different anesthesia workstations
is therefore only permissible and safe when it is
used with the appropriate special adapter.
Simultaneous operation of several vaporizers
connected in series is not permissible, particularly
for different anesthetic agents.
The vaporizer is not suitable for use in a breathing
system due to high pneumatic resistance.
D-Vapor / D-Vapor 3000 may only be used with
anesthesia machines which conform to one of the
following standards:
– IEC 60601-2-13
– ISO 80601-2-13
– ASTM F 1850
