Example of a concentration check
Test of a desflurane vaporizer at the 8 % setting
– The measured value is 8.58 Vol%.
Monitor display is in Vol%, therefore no
correction.
– According to the chapter "Technical Data", the
permissible range of the vaporizer is ±15 % of
the set value, i.e. 6.8 to 9.2 Vol%.
The technical data for the anesthetic agent
monitor lists an accuracy of ±5 % rel. For a
measured value of 8.58 Vol%, this results in a
tolerance of ±0.43 Vol%.
The permissible range is increased by this
amount to a value of 6.37 to 9.63 Vol%.
– The measured value of 8.58 Vol% is in the
permissible range.
