Isoflurane is very caustic and may dull the paint finish of the EX3000 if spillage occurs. If spillage
should occur, allow it to evaporate. Do not attempt to wipe it with a cloth.

using a filler attachment to add anesthetic agents.

Make sure the EX3000 is properly secured to the wall of the facility if used as a wall-mounted
