Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer
As this vaporizer is not suitable for use with flammable
anesthetic agents such as Ether or Cyclopropane, the use
of antistatic breathing tubes and face masks is not
necessary. The use of antistatic or electrically conductive
breathing tubes when utilizing high frequency electric
surgery equipment may cause burns and is therefore not
recommended in any application of this vaporizer.
Filling procedure When filling the Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer, observe the following:
Step 1
Remove the bottle cap from the
Suprane™ (desflurane) bottle
and ensure that the O-ring is
correctly fitted to the bottle
probe.

The vaporizer must only be filled when it is in an upright
position.
The vaporizer sump can be filled when the vaporizer is in its
WARM-UP cycle or at any time the vaporizer is in use except
as noted in the warning. If the vaporizer is in its
OPERATIONAL condition, the time taken for the agent to flow
into the vaporizer may be increased.
Only agent bottles with a Saf-T-Fill™ bottle probe specific to
Suprane™ (desflurane) should be inserted into the filler port.
