Operation
88 Instructions for use Fabius Tiro SW 3.n
Setting the anesthetic gas concentration
Prerequisite: The vaporizer is mounted in
accordance with the instructions for use of the
respective vaporizer.
The following section describes the operation of
Vapor 2000.
Set the fresh-gas flow on the anesthesia
workstation.
CAUTION
Risk of inaccurate measured values
When the O
2 supply is again established after a
failure of the O
2 supply, a supply pressure of at
least 2.7 kPa x 100 must be maintained for at
least 20 seconds. New failure of the O
2 supply
will only be detected if the supply pressure is
stable for at least 20 seconds.
Do not use any functions during this time that
require O
2, for example:
–O
2 flush
–O2 fresh-gas flow
– Endotracheal suction
WARNING
Risk of material damage and risk to health
A vaporizer must never remain in operation
without a fresh-gas flow. High concentrations
of the anesthetic gas flow into the ventilation
circuit and the ambient air. This can lead to
material damage and contamination of the
ambient air with anesthetic gases.
Never cut off the fresh-gas flow before the
vaporizer is switched off.

WARNING
Risk of patient injury
When the vaporizer is in the control dial
position T, has heated up due to high ambient
temperature, and is then used, a high
anesthetic gas concentration might be
delivered.
After connecting the vaporizer to the
anesthesia workstation, always turn the
control dial of the vaporizer to position 0 and
wait at least 15 seconds to enable a pressure
equalization.
