Annual preventive maintenance and certification by qualified personnel
is recommended to ensure proper operation. General upkeep and daily
maintenance will enhance the longevity of your compact anesthesia
system.
Warning: Do not modify, tamper with or disassemble
the vaporizer. Doing so could damage the unit and
alter the accuracy of graduation.
Observation of the operating instructions, regular servicing and normal
professional vigilance is normally all that is required to maintain the
vaporizer in a safe working condition.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the vaporizer with a damp cloth.
Never allow cleaning agents to accumulate in the filler, gas inlet and
outlet ports, or around the control dial.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth.
The stand is coated with a baked-on enamel that will withstand most
cleaning/disinfectant solutions. If a solution is to be used, it is
recommended that you initially test its effect on an inconspicuous spot of
the enamel.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Plastic flowmeter covers may be
removed and cleaned with a damp cloth. The exterior of the glass
flowtube may be cleaned in the same manner. Should dirt or an
obstruction get inside the flowtube, contact VisualSonics for assistance.
The flow control requires no maintenance.
This valve requires no maintenance.
