WARNING
2067226-001
Do not store filled or partially filled desflurane cassettes
above the normal working temperature of 35C/95F.
Storage at high temperature may cause the overpressure
valve to vent desflurane vapor into the ambient air.
•
Do not open or press the cassette filling port or the gas
connection valves with fingers or any kind of instrument.
Anesthetic agent liquid or gas may squirt into the air.
1.
Remove the cassette from the machine, and place it on a
horizontal surface. Make sure that the valve pins on the back of
the cassette do not come in contact with the machine or any
other object.
2.
Remove the cap from the desflurane bottle. Check that the o-
ring is correctly fitted on the bottle nozzle.

Watch the liquid level indicator. Do not leave the bottle
unattended while it is attached to the cassette.
6.
When the liquid level reaches the full mark, lower the bottle to
the lower stop position.
•
Keep the bottle firmly inserted.
•
Wait 5 seconds to allow the agent to drain from the filling
port back into the bottle.

Slowly remove the bottle from the filling port. Removing the
bottle quickly may cause the agent to splash or squirt out of the
