The Tec 6 Plus vaporizer for North American Drager
(NAD) must be installed on a NAD anesthesia machine
equipped with an exclusion manifold. The installation must
be performed by an individual trained in the servicing of
NAD anesthesia equipment. Each vaporizer is supplied
with O-rings and screws for the service person to install the
vaporizer onto the manifold.
Do not mount the vaporizer downstream of the common
gas outlet. Mounting the vaporizer in any position other
than that recommended in this manual can cause patient
injury.
Do not connect any vaporizer other than a Tec 6 Plus,
Tec 6, Tec 5, or Tec 4 onto a Selectatec™ Series Manifold.
Connecting any other vaporizer onto the manifold may
make the interlock system ineffective and can result in the
ability to administer anesthetic agent mixtures, possibly
causing patient injury.
Before mounting a vaporizer onto the Selectatec™ Series
manifold, ensure that each manifold port valve O-ring is
intact and that there is no foreign matter around the mating
surfaces. A damaged O-ring and/or foreign matter around
the mating surfaces can cause leaks.
Some versions of the Selectatec™ Series Mounted
Manifold provide mounting positions for three vaporizers.
These versions require the center position to be occupied
even if only two vaporizers are fitted. If the center position
is not occupied, the interlock which helps to ensure that
only one vaporizer at a time can be turned on is ineffective.
