The vaporizer will continue to provide reliable performance only if the manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions are followed. -
Page 4: Warnings And Cautions
If unit is accidentally tipped on its side, please call the manufacturer for specific instructions. • Do not have vaporizer serviced by anyone other than a SOMNI Scientific authorized service center. • Do not operate vaporizer prior to leak testing the anesthetic equipment, ensuring secure connections to prevent unnecessary anesthetic exposure •... -
Page 5: Principles Of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION VAPORIZER SUMP AND VALVE ASSEMBLY This anesthetic vaporizer is comprised of a vaporizing chamber and duct system (located within the sump cover), rotary valve and concentration dial. The Concentration Setting Dial concentration dial is connected to the rotary valve underneath. The rotary valve contains ducts and a vapor control channel. -
Page 6: Examination And Preparation For Use
1. Examine shipping carton for signs of external damage. 2. Remove contents from carton and inspect for visible damage such as dents or missing parts. 3. If damage or missing parts are discovered or suspected, notify customer service immediately at 1-877-637-3625. 4. Check that control dial operates freely. -
Page 7: Installation
The SOMNI 3 is supplied with mounting hardware consisting of a spacer and 3-6mm bolts. While supporting the weight of the vaporizer, install the spacer between the vaporizer and the mounting surface and secure the vaporizer using the mounting bolts provided. - Page 8 INSTALLATION IMPORTANT! Vaporizer Spacer Placement • The direction of gas flow must be from “inlet to outlet” (i.e. from left to right) when viewing the vaporizer from the front. • Ensure the liquid (which may accumulate in the breathing circuit or the CO2 absorber) can not enter the vaporizer while: -in use -during disassembly of the circuit...

Page 9: Operating Instructions
1. Observe all instructions and warnings on the vaporizer 2. Fill only with agent indicated with vaporizer in OFF position 3. Perform a leak test prior to first use (See instructions below- “10 Second Test”) 4. Depress locking button to turn dial from OFF position 5. - Page 10 10 SECOND PRESSURE TEST Before each use, “leak test” the machine, and also ensure that the waste gases have a clear way through your evacuation system. Before each use, “leak test” the anesthesia system and ensure the waste gases have a patent way through the evacuation system.

2. Hold an empty, properly labeled container under the tube. 3. Open the drain valve located on the right side of the fill assembly. After all liquid is drained, close the valve finger tight to seal. 4. Discard used anesthetic agent per proper protocol. - Page 13 ASSURING PERFORMANCE OF YOUR VAPORIZER To assure the continued performance of your vaporizer, the manufacturer recommends full factory preventative maintenance be performed every 2 years. Accurate and efficient anesthetic gas delivery is a primary consideration in patient care. Anesthetic agent vapors are extremely potent, and a very small error in concentration could be hazardous.

Figures will vary depending on flow meter type Vaporizers are calibrated at 21° C. The variation in output (and other varying factors). - Page 15 The valve design and temperature compensation system of causing the magnitude and rate of cycling pressure the Somni 3 vaporizers work to reduce the effects to levels fluctuations to decrease. considered not significant by clinical standards.
