Instructions for use D-Vapor/D-Vapor 3000
Essential performance
The essential performance of D-Vapor and
D-Vapor 3000 anesthetic vaporizers consists in the
enrichment of medical fresh gases with desflurane
vapor and the generation of alarms in the event of
overpressure or underpressure in the internal
desflurane vapor supply with an accuracy which
can be found in the technical data.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Risk of incorrect output concentration and im-
peded breathing due to high breathing resis-
tance
The vaporizer is not suitable for use in a
breathing system.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
High desflurane settings reduce the O
2 con-
centration in fresh gas.
High desflurane concentrations can affect hot
wire volume measurement! The indicated vol-
ume is too high.
High-frequency ventilation or the use of anes-
thesia machines with discontinuous fresh-gas
flow or repeated use of the O
2 flush can cause
the vaporizer to switch off.
Observe the instructions for use for the anes-
thesia machine.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Device functions can be manipulated or
switched off via the RS232 interface.
The available RS232 interface must only be
used for service purposes.
WARNING
Risk of the device catching fire
The vaporizer may ignite as a result of a fire on
the patient side.
In the event of a fire, disconnect the oxygen-
carrying connections from the vaporizer.
CAUTION
Health hazard
Take care not to spill anesthetic agent.
Do not inhale anesthetic agent vapors.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury
Observe the instructions for use provided by the
manufacturer of the anesthetic agent. Pay particu-
lar attention to the described indications, contrain-
dications, side-effects, MAC values, and expiration
date of the anesthetic agent used.
