5.2. Replacement of Soda Lime Canister
Warning Please observe the applicable safety regulations:
If the anesthetic is chloroform or trichloroethylene, the absorption canister should not be
used.
Avoid exposing the skin or eyes to the substances in the absorption tank. In case of
contact with the skin or eyes, please wash the affected department with water
immediately and take medical measures.
Do not replace the absorption tank during ventilation.
Absorbants are replaced frequently to prevent the deposition of non-metabolic gases
when the system is not working.
After completing each case, check the absorber color. During no use, the color of the
absorbent may be restored to its original color. See absorbent labeling for details on
color changes.
If the absorbent is completely dry, it will release carbon monoxide after contact with the
anesthetic agent. For safety reasons, please replace the absorber.
After opening the absorption tank, perform the respiratory system leak test in manual
mode.
The absorption tank is a reusable absorption tank. A single absorption tank can hold 1,500 mL of the
absorbent.
The absorption tank can only use air, oxygen, laughing gas, anofurane, isoflurane, desflurane and
sevoflurane.
5.2.1. When Should Replace Soda Lime
The color gradient of the soda lime in the absorption tank indicates the absorption of carbon dioxide.
The color variation of soda lime is shown only as an approximation. Use a carbon dioxide monitor to
determine if the absorber tank should be replaced.
Once the absorbent changes color, it should be discarded. If left for several hours, soda lime will
return to its original color, which will be misleading.
