With the oxygen and the vaporizer turned off, you can now fill the vaporizer with the appropriate agent up
9.
to the maximum fill line. You will need to let the vaporizer sit for a minimum of 1 hour and then add more
agent up to the maximum fill line. The wick inside the vaporizer is dry and will soak up the agent.
WARNING! Failure to let the vaporizer absorb agent for 1 hour after the initial fill and before use may
result in inconsistent patient anesthetic depth.
Cover the threaded opening at the top of the absorber canister with your finger or a piece of tape and fill
10.
the absorber canister to about ½ - 1” from the top.
NOTE! If absorbent gets down into the threaded opening at the top of the canister, it will cause a leak in
the anesthesia machine.
Once the absorber canister is filled, locate the guide pin at the top front of the canister. Match the guide
11.
pin with the notch underneath the anesthesia machine block. Secure the canister in place using the draw
knob.
CAUTION! Overtightening the absorber canister draw knob may cause damage to the canister and result
in leakage. Do not overtighten.
Using a wrench, attach oxygen hose (not included) to the male threaded fitting (DISS male) on the back of
12.
the oxygen flowmeter. Attach the opposite end of the oxygen hose to an oxygen source (e-tank, h-tank,
wall outlet, ceiling drop) that is regulated to 50-55psi.
CAUTION! Do not over tighten the oxygen hose on the back of the anesthesia machine as this may
inadvertently loosen the fitting at the back of the flowmeter and may result in leakage.
CAUTION! Do not apply compressed gas to a machine that is unregulated. Using compressed gas
delivered in excess of 65
psi may damage the flowmeter, plumbing and flush valve.
