Field Operations Unit or to an Datex-Ohmeda Authorised Distributor. Additional copies of this manual, quoting Tec 5 Continuous Flow Vaporizer O & M Manual Part No. 1105-0100-000, can be requested from a local Datex-Ohmeda Field Operations Unit or from an Datex- Ohmeda Authorised Distributor.
Servicing Policy During initial installation of a Tec 5 vaporizer, the Next Service Date label located on the vaporizer dial must be completed by the Technician/Engineer/Customer responsible for the installation. Datex-Ohmeda recommends that all Tec 5 Vaporizers are serviced every three years, irrespective of conditions of use.
The vaporizer must be locked on to the manifold before it can be turned ON. 2. Only one vaporizer at a time can be turned ON when two or more Tec 4, Tec 5 or Tec 6 vaporizers are fitted on a Selectatec Series Mounted Manifold.
Selectatec Manifolds but the interlock system is designed to function on Selectatec Series Mounted Manifolds only. Mounting a Tec 5 vaporizer on a Selectatec 7 Compatibility Block is not recommended. Warning: It is a requirement of European Standard prEN 740 - Anaesthetic Workstations And Their Modules, that the gas monitoring device referred to at 3.1 of this manual is in operating condition,...

5.1.2 Every Three Years Datex-Ohmeda recommends that all Tec 5 Vaporizers are serviced every three years, irrespective of conditions of use. The vaporizer should be serviced at an Datex-Ohmeda authorised Service Centre.
Return the vaporizer to a Service Centre stating, if possible, the type of contaminant used. Repairs Repairs must only be performed by the Manufacturer's Service Representatives. Page 14 Tec 5 Vaporizer August 1999 O & M Manual Part No. 1105-0100-000...

Tec 4, Tec 5 and Tec 6 vaporizers. Warning: Connecting any vaporizer other than a Datex-Ohmeda Tec 4, Tec 5 or Tec 6 vaporizer to the Selectatec Series Mounted Manifold defeats the interlock system. This action results in the ability to administer anaesthetic agent mixtures, possibly resulting in patient injury.
Conversely, if the temperature of the vaporizer increases, the thermostat opens, the by-pass flow through the thermostat increases and therefore the vaporizing chamber flow decreases. Thus the output of the vaporizer remains relatively constant under conditions of changing temperature. Page 18 Tec 5 Vaporizer August 1999 O & M Manual Part No. 1105-0100-000...
6.4.1 General The output concentration of the Tec 5 vaporizer is regulated by the 'variable flow-split' method described in the following text and illustrated on Fig. 16 and 17: A total flow of fresh gas from upstream flowmeters enters the vaporizer at where it is immediately split into two streams.
