General Description
Fresh Gas Outlet
The fresh gas outlet delivers the fresh gas mixture (consisting of oxygen,
nitrous oxide, optional gases, and vapors of a liquid anesthetic) to the
patient breathing system. It is located on the front of the anesthesia
machine.
The outlet’s 15 mm cylindrical female fitting is designed to accept a
15 mm male fitting on the absorber fresh gas hose. The male fitting
slides into a retaining slot in the spring-loaded safety locking bar to
prevent inadvertent disconnection of the fresh gas hose. The 15 mm
male fitting on the fresh gas hose is unique to North American Dräger
design, and cannot be replaced by a hose from any other manufacturer.
