Draining halothane cassettes
13-10
The decomposition of halothane causes the release of halides, which
may corrode metal components particularly in the presence of
moisture. A preservative, added to halothane by its manufacturers to
impede decomposition, can leave a residue which may cause
cassette components to stick.
•
Have the halothane cassettes drained every two weeks.
•
If halothane is used infrequently, have the halothane cassette
drained after use.
•
Do not flow gas through the halothane cassette to dry out the
cassette.
