WARNING
z When the anesthetic delivery system has three and more than three groups of plug-in
connectors, check if there is an interlock function between nonadjacent connectors.
Otherwise, vaporizers are recommended to be connected right next to each other.
z Check as per the above items. If these are not done, an incorrect concentration may be
displayed.
z Interlock device malfunction may cause several vaporizers to be switched on
simultaneously which endangers the patient by resulting in overdosing or a mixture of
anesthetic agents.
6. Check that the vaporizer, connector, and fresh gas circuit are leak-tight (see Instructions for
Use for Anesthetic delivery system).
7. Flush the breathing system with fresh gas before connecting a patient.
WARNING
z Do not operate the vaporizer until all checks have been carried out and the results meet
the requirements.
z All repairs must be carried out by qualified service personnel.
