Fault
Response to tilting during transportation:
Anaesthetic runs out.
Vaporizer not set to "T"
even though not
connected to anaesthestic
machine.
Odour of anaesthetic
during or after
transportation.
5327.400 Vapor 2000
Cause
Handwheel not locked at "T"
and vaporizer tilted beyond
30°.
The vaporizer may have been
tilted beyond 30° the last
time it was handled. This
may have caused liquid
anaesthetic to run out or
enter the flow control valve,
and so produced incorrect
concentrations.
Due to an extreme increase
in temperature and/or a
decrease in air pressure,
anaesthetic vapour may
escape in the vaporizer.

Remedy
Set vaporizer upright. Lock
handwheel at "T".
− Flush vaporizer for
2 hours at 10 L/min or
for 8 hours at 4 L/min.
− Flush vaporizer at
maximum concentration
for 5 minutes at
10 L/min.
− Check concentration at
handwheel position "0"
at 0.5 L/min air flow.
The concentration must
be less than 0.1 vol.%.
Otherwise flush - see
above.
Check concentration.
If the delivered
concentration is not
within the permitted
range, do not operate
the vaporizer.
Repair (only by trained
specialists).
Before start-up, flush and
check concentration; see
above.
Do not inhale anaesthetic
vapour. Ventilate the room.
Temperature-stabilize the
vaporizer. Keep to the
operating range for the filled
vaporizer in handwheel
position "T". Check
concentration.
