Do not put water or any other solvent into a vaporizer. A vaporizer should
be filled with the specified anesthetic agent only.
Do not immerse the vaporizer in water or any other liquid.
Do not autoclave the vaporizer.
To clean external surfaces, use a moist cloth and neutral detergent (pH 7 to 10.5).
Never allow cleaning agents to accumulate either in the filler, the gas inlet and outlet
ports or around the control dial.
If the vaporizer is filled or partly filled with an incorrect volatile agent or other
contaminant (such as water), proceed as follows:
1. Remove the vaporizer from service immediately and label the vaporizer stating
that it is contaminated. Discard all liquid.
2. Return the vaporizer to a Datex-Ohmeda Authorized Service Center stating that
the vaporizer is contaminated and, if possible, the type of contaminant in the
vaporizer.
Connect the Tec 7 to an Anesthesia Machine.
check
1. Set the oxygen output of the anesthesia machine to a flow of 5± 0.5 L/min.
2. Ensure that the fresh gas output is connected to a gas scavenging system.
3. Measure the concentration at the fresh gas outlet, using an agent monitor which
is calibrated to measure the specific agent.
4. Allow the readings to stabilize and check that the readings are within specified
tolerances.
5. Document and maintain the test results, including the date, person performing
the test, and serial number of the unit tested.
