Preparation Preparation Fitting connectors Use only authentic Dräger parts. Only selected materials may be used with anaesthetic agents in breathing gas. Connectors may only be fitted by trained service personnel, because they must be dismantled and checked. Risk of incorrect output concentration or escape of anaesthetic agent otherwise.
(on each type of anaesthesia delivery system). The technical data for Vapor 2000 and the anaesthesia delivery system must be adhered to. Any deviations might result in incorrect concentrations being delivered.
Preparation Filling Vapor Take care not to spill anaesthetic agent. Do not inhale anaesthetic agent vapour. Danger to health. Recommendation: ensure adequate ventilation when filling Vapor when not connected to anaesthesia delivery system. Only fill Vapor with the anaesthetic agent specified on it. Observe use-by date for anaesthetic agent.
Preparation Vapor with keyed filling system Note warnings on page 13. If Vapor is connected to anaesthesia delivery system: control dial remains engaged at »0«. When filling during operation: ● Fresh-gas flow can remain as set. 1 Set control dial to »0« Wait for 5 seconds for pressure to equalise, as fresh gas and anaesthetic agent vapour may escape otherwise.
Page 15
Preparation 1 Swing lever slowly so that pressure in Vapor can escape slowly. 2 Pull sealing block out completely and fold down. ● Hold anaesthetic agent bottle below Vapor. The holes on the adapter must be on the underside. 3 Push filling adapter into the opening of the filling system until it engages.

Operation Two Vapors with Interlock 2: 1 Slide latch on Interlock 2 into the control dial on the Vapor which has been used until it engages. On Vapor to be used: 2 Press »0« button and set control dial to anaesthetic agent concentration required.
Operation Disconnecting Vapor Take care not to drop Vapor. Do not re-use Vapor if it has been dropped. Damage may cause incorrect output concentration. Do not carry by the control dial, control dial caps or locking lever for the plug-in adapter. Risk of injury.
Operation For conical connectors 1 Press »0« button and turn control dial clockwise to »T« until it engages. 2 Detach gas supply and gas delivery line from Vapor. ● The Vapor can now be disconnected. The fresh-gas line is now disconnected. Fresh gas and anaesthetic agent vapour may escape.

Shut-down Shut-down Draining Vapor Take care not to spill anaesthetic agent. Do not inhale anaesthetic agent vapour. Danger to health. Recommendation: Drain Vapor under suitable scavenging as small amounts of anaesthetic agent vapour will always escape. Whilst draining, avoid contamination. Anaesthetic agent which has been drained off must be handled, stored and disposed of as medicament.
Shut-down 1 Turn drainage valve clockwise to close. 2 Push sealing block in fully. 3 Close lever, as fresh gas and anaesthetic agent vapour may escape when Vapor is switched on again, otherwise. If the lever cannot be closed completely, release lever and push sealing block in fully, otherwise the sealing block will not function properly and may damage the seal.
Shut-down ● Close anaesthetic agent bottle. Anaesthetic agent may otherwise be released. Mark bottle "Used anaesthetic agent". Recommendation: Do not re-use. Vapor with Quik Fil filling system Note warnings on page 41. If Vapor is connected to anaesthesia delivery system: 1 Control dial must be engaged at »0«.

Description Description Operating principle Control dial at »0« (switched off) Fresh gas (arrow) flows from Vapor inlet 1 to the vaporising chamber-bypass 2 and then passes from the outside to the inside through this gap. In parallel, some of the fresh-gas flows via an additional bypass 3 and flow control cone 4 to Vapor outlet 5.
Description Control dial above »ON« (switched on) Fresh gas (arrow) is routed through valves 7a and 7b, linked to the control dial 8 and through the vaporising chamber 6. Valve 7c closes off bypass 3. Some of the fresh gas is enriched with anaesthetic-agent vapour (arrow with dot) in the saturated wick 9.
Description Influence of temperature Vapor compensates for changes in temperature. The Output concentration saturation concentration of the anaesthetic agent, which rises Halothane concentration [vol.%] as temperature rises, is automatically balanced by routing a [vol.%] higher proportion of the gas flow through the vaporising chamber-bypass (see page 53).
Description Influence of flow Within the specified flow range, the concentration delivered by Output Halothane Vapor is only slightly dependent on the fresh-gas flow. concentration concentration [vol.%] [vol.%] The output concentration is reduced slightly when high concentrations are set at the same time as a high fresh- gas flow.
Description Influence of gas composition The concentration delivered is dependent on the composition of the fresh gas since the viscosity and density of the gas changes from one gas to another. Vapor is calibrated with Air because the concentration delivered is then exactly in the middle of the range for the anaesthetic gas mixtures which are available.
Description Influence of atmospheric pressure The anaesthetic agent partial pressure delivered by Vapor (see "Calibration", page 53) is all but independent of atmospheric pressure, so that weather-based fluctuations do not need to be taken into account and altitude-based pressure changes in the range 700 to 1100 hPa will only lead to small deviations within the accuracy specified.
Description Influence of fluctuations in pressure during ventilation When ventilation is being carried out or when the O flush is operated without fresh-gas de-coupling, pressure fluctuations on the anaesthetic vaporiser can cause a higher concentration to be delivered than is shown on the control dial setting. The vapour in the vaporising chamber is compressed when pressure rises, and it expands when pressure falls.
Description Influence of running time Evaporation of the anaesthetic agent during operation cools Concentration Halothane delivered Vapor slowly. [vol.%] The saturation concentration of the anaesthetic agent in Vapor decreases more rapidly the longer the duration of operation, the higher the concentration set and the higher the fresh-gas flow selected, i.e.
