Turning the
Vaporizer On
OP10609
Before each case, check the following items.
1. Make sure the vaporizer contains a sufficient amount of anesthetic
agent as indicated in the sight glass.
2. Make sure the filling and draining valves are closed. For vaporizers
with the key indexed safety system, make sure the sealing plug is
properly fitted and locking screw is tight.
3. Make sure the handwheel is set to "0" (zero-point interlock) and that
the button is engaged.
To turn the vaporizer on:
1. Adjust the fresh gas flow.
2. Turn the vaporizer handwheel to the desired anesthetic
concentration. Do not set the handwheel between 0 and 0.2% volume
concentration (0.3% volume with Enflurane Vapor). This part of the
handwheel actuates the on/off switch and cannot be calibrated.
NOTE: After you turn on the vaporizer, activate the scavenger system
to collect and remove vented gas from the operating room.
