is not higher than 15 L/min.

anaesthesia workstation and must not be blocked by another vaporizer through the inter-
lock system. If the vaporizer is not mechanically locked on the connector panel of the an-
aesthesia workstation, or if it is blocked by the interlock system from dispensing Desflu-
rane, this will be displayed by the corresponding symbol on the main section of the screen.
