6.8.10.4 Dräger Vapor 2000 Operating Instructions ARRB-F001
1. Fill Vaporizer - at least half full between minimum and maximum mark.
2. Allow the filled Vapor to warm up to room temperature of 20-24�C. Wait long enough
for the temperature to equalize - the time will vary depending on the temperature
differential '�T'.
1 hour = up top 2�C
3 hours = ±6�C
4 hours = ±10�C
5 hours = ±20�C
3. Check anesthetic agent monitor. Perform zero calibration of monitor with the desired
gas (AIR or O 2 )
4. Connect monitor to fresh gas outlet or Y-fitting. Make sure that all connections are leak-tight.
5. Connect and start scavenging system.
6. Switch OFF ventilator or set vent pressure to less than 5 cmH 2 O.
7. Set monitor to anesthetic agent being used and to continuous measurement.
8. Set flow between 2.5 and 4 L/min AIR. Use O 2 if AIR is not available.
9. Check 0 and T marks, 1 vol.% 4 vol % and at least three other concentrations.
10. Adjust control dial on the vaporizer.
11. Read concentration after it has reached steady state.
12. Correct measured values for the effect of carrier gas used. If AIR no correction required.
If O 2 use following correction factor:
Measured value vol.% =
