The Key Filler system is in compliance with ISO5360. Quik-Fil system complies with the performance data of ISO5360. Mindray recommends that the output concentration is monitored through an anesthetic gas monitoring device in compliance with ISO80601-2-55 to detect any hazardous output values.
V60 Anesthetic Vaporizer is an unheated, calibrated anesthetic vaporizer used for evaporating liquid anesthetic agents and delivering mixed gas of controlled concentration to an anesthetic delivery system. The V60 Anesthetic Vaporizer is available in models specific for use with Isoflurane and models available specific for use with Sevoflurane. WARNING The anesthetic vaporizer is intended to be operated only by licensed clinicians and qualified anesthesia personnel who have received adequate training in its use.
When the anesthetic delivery system is connected to multiple vaporizers, the interlock systems of the vaporizers ensure that only one vaporizer can be switched on at any one time while the others remain off and in a locked state. Interlock device V60 Anesthetic Vaporizer Operator’s Manual...
