Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
In addition the alarm “PINSP. NOT ACHIEVED” or “VT
NOT ACHIEVED” is displayed if the system is unable
to maintain the defined ventilation.
To ensure continued ventilation, the anesthesia
machine will use ambient air to supplement the gas
volume if it is too low. This may change the gas
composition. Carefully check the gas composition.
DrägerService can change the behavior of the device
so that it does not use ambient air for supplementing
the gas volume. The device will then ventilate with
limited V
T or PINSP. if possible.
1. Increase the fresh-gas flow.
2. Seal any possible leaks.
Setting vaporizer concentration
Note: Refer to the appropriate Instructions for Use
for the vaporizer being used. Vapor 2000 is
shown and described below.
For the Dräger Interlock 2 exclusion system:
Figure 54. Setting Vaporizer Concentration - Dräger
Interlock 2 Exclusion System
1. Lock the unused vaporizer by moving the
selector lever completely towards it. For
example, to lock the left vaporizer, move the
lever to the left (1 in Figure 54.).
2. With the handwheel set to >T< position on the
unlocked vaporizer, press the button and engage
the handwheel at >0< (2 in Figure 54.) Wait
5 seconds for the pressure to balance.
3. Press the button and turn the handwheel
counterclockwise to set the required anesthetic
gas concentration (3 in Figure 54.).
WARNING!
Risk of patient awareness
If a complete gas supply failure occurs, the
anesthesia machine will continue to function
with ambient air. However, anesthestic agents
will no longer be delivered and the inspiratory
gas composition will be diluted.
Carefully monitor the gas mixture and, if
necessary, use IV anesthetics.
