Installation Install the Vaporizer
2.3 Install the Vaporizer
CAUTION: Only vaporizers with Selectatec Interlock Systems may be used with the
A5/A3 unit.
WARNING: Use vaporizers compliant to ISO 80601-2-13. See sectionA.9 (page A-4)
"Vaporizers". Refer to the vaporizer manufacturer’s Instructions For Use
for mounting, filling, or draining the vaporizer and other information.
WARNING: Use care in lifting and manipulating vaporizers during the mounting
process as their weight may be greater than expected, based on their
size and shape.
NOTE: The barometric pressure may differ from the calibration pressure of the
anesthetic vaporizer. This may cause an inaccurate output of the
anesthetic agent. The operator should continuously monitor the
concentration of anesthetic agent during system use to determine if
the output concentration is accurate.
FIGURE 2-1 Location of Vaporizer Mounting System
1. If replacing and removing the vaporizer, lift each vaporizer straight up off the manifold. Do
not pull the vaporizer forward. Do not rotate the vaporizer on the manifold.
2. Align the new vaporizer over the valve cartridges of the mounting bar, slightly tilting back
the vaporizer. Hang the vaporizer on the mounting bar (see
FIGURE 2-2). Ensure that the
locking mechanism handle is in the unlocked position. Ensure that the dial is in the “0”
(Transport) position or equivalent, depending upon the vaporizer manufacturer’s
Instructions For Use.
