Checks before Use
5.1 Checklist—checks before each use
Use the vaporizer within the specified operating range.
WARNING
z
Under no circumstances should the vaporizer ever be used at atmospheric pressure and
temperature at which the anesthetic agent could start to boil, as the concentration
delivered will rise and be uncontrolled. For more information, see 11.3 Influence of
Temperature.
z
This Anesthetic Vaporizer is not suitable for use in an MRI environment.
Prepare the anesthetic delivery system in accordance with Instructions for Use and connect
the waste gas scavenging system. Switch on the anesthetic agent monitor. Set the correct
anesthetic agent and alarm limits. Switch on the oxygen and CO
2
monitor and set the alarm
limits.
WARNING
z
The Anesthetic Vaporizer may become unstable if the unit is tilted beyond 10 degrees.
z
If a vaporizer is operated at an angle of more than 30
°
(fixed position), uncontrolled
concentrations may occur. Connections, plug-in connectors/plug-in adapters may leak
when used at greater angles.
z
The filling level shown in the sight glass will not be correct when the vaporizer is used
at an angle. This may lead to overfilling.
