Description
Mechanical and electrical interlocks incorporated into the vaporizer
help to ensure that:
The vaporizer dial can only be turned from © (Standby) when
the vaporizer is locked onto the manifold and the green
OPERATIONAL light is illuminated to indicate that the
vaporizer has attained the correct operating temperature.
Only one vaporizer can be operated at a time.
The gas flow only enters the selected vaporizer.
Unwanted anesthetic trace vapor is minimized after the
vaporizer is turned to © (Standby).
European Standard EN 740 - Anesthetic Workstations and Their Mod-
ules requires that an appropriate gas monitor is used to monitor the
concentration of anesthetic agent vapor in the inspiratory gas when
the vaporizer is in operation in order to provide protection against haz-
ardous output in the event of a device malfunction.
Datex-Ohmeda strongly recommends the use of anesthesia gas mon-
itoring with this equipment. Refer to local standards for mandatory
monitoring.
