6.3 Switching off the Vaporizer
1. Turn the control dial clockwise until the “0” button pops out to prevent it from being
switched on accidentally.
2. If required, turn off the fresh gas flow on the anesthetic delivery system.
WARNING
z The vaporizer must never be left switched on without fresh gas flow. Otherwise
anesthetic agent vapor at a high concentration can get into the machine circuit and
ambient air and harm people and materials.
3. If the vaporizer is not going to be used for up to six months, then the anesthetic agent inside
the vaporizer should be drained.
4. If the vaporizer remains on the anesthetic delivery system:
(1) The locking lever on the plug-in adapter should remain locked on.
(2) Keep within the permissible temperature and humidity range.
(3) Observe use-by date of the anesthetic agent.
5. If the vaporizer has to be removed from the anesthetic delivery system, see 6.4
Disconnecting the Vaporizer and 6.5 Moving when Filled.
6.4 Disconnecting the Vaporizer
CAUTION
z Take care not to drop the vaporizer. Do not use the vaporizer if it has been dropped.
Damage may cause incorrect output concentration. Do not carry by the control dial or
locking lever handle to avoid the risk of injury.
z Disconnect the vaporizer only when the control dial is set to “0” to avoid the risk of
incorrect output concentration and of anesthetic agent escaping.
z Place vaporizers only on firm even surfaces or hang on stable brackets.
1. Turn the control dial back to “0” position clockwise.
2. Turn the handle for locking lever for 90º
counter clockwise until it springs up automatically.
3. Use both hands to lift the vaporizer off the anesthesia machine.
