Installation
The Apollo Tec 3 Style vaporiser must always be mounted between the flow
meter unit and the patient breathing circuit, but upstream of any absorber or
humidifier. The vaporiser must be connected so that the flow of gas to the
patient is as indicated by the arrows on the device.
Check the integrity of the fittings to ensure that they are leak tight. If in doubt,
seek advice from the manufacturer of the equipment to which the vaporiser is
attached.
Ensure that the vaporiser is cleaned prior to first use. Remove the vaporiser
from its packaging, clean the exterior of the Tec 3 style vaporiser with a cloth
dampened with CE marked disinfectant as per the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never allow cleaning agents to accumulate in the filler or gas inlet and outlet
ports or around the dial control.
