operations. When the liquid level is below the warning line, more
anesthetic agent needs to be added. Refer to the vaporizer Instructions
For Use for filling the vaporizer and other information.
NOTE: The A5/A3 System is designed to be equipped with an anesthetic vapor
delivery device that complies with ISO 80601-2-13.
NOTE: The A5/A3 battery supply is not a user serviceable component. Only an
authorized service representative can replace the battery supply. If the
system is not used for an extended period, contact a service

NOTE: Opening the cylinder valve quickly may cause unexpected pressure
differentials and create a potential for fire or explosion arising from
oxygen pressure shocks. Open and shut the cylinder valve slowly.
NOTE: Accuracy of the flowrate may be affected by varying inlet pressure,
varying outlet resistance, or varying ambient temperature.
NOTE: The power device, terminal units and pipeline system can be supplied
by one or several different manufacturers.
NOTE: Regional or national regulations that apply to manufacturers of
