Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer
Effects of carrier gas composition
Small output decreases can occur when the carrier gas composition is
changed from 100% oxygen.
When either air or nitrous oxide is employed as the carrier gas, the out-
put is lowered compared to the output when oxygen is the carrier gas.
This effect is the greatest (up to 20% of setting) at low flows when ni-
trous oxide is employed, but using nitrous oxide reduces the required
inspired concentrations of volatile agent which can, depending upon
the proportion, mitigate the decreases in output from the vaporizer.
