NOTE:The following procedure is performed after all host NARKOMED Anesthesia Systems
have been upgraded, if applicable, in accordance with TSB #103.
NOTE:The desflurane vaporizer shall be installed in the extreme right position (as viewed
from the front) on the machine.
NOTE:If the host machineisaNARKOMED4, its gas analyzer must be configured to include
desflurane. Refer to Service Procedure SP00117 for details.
If the host machine is a NARKOMED 3, its gas analyzer must be configured to include
desflurane. Refer to Service Procedure SP00121 for details.
NOTE: Proceed to Step 5 if you are not
removing an existing vaporizer.
1.Beforeremovinganexisting
vaporizer or bypass block from the
machine, perform a low pressure
leak test at the fresh gas outlet to
verify gas circuit integrity.
2.If there is an existing vaporizer in
place, it must be drained and dried
as follows:
CAUTION
Thefollowingstepsmustbe
performed in the sequence given.
2.3Open the APL valve by turning it
fully counter-clockwise.
2.4Short circuit the inspiratory and
expiratory valves with a 22 mm
hose.
2.5Ensure that the fresh gas hose is
connected to the 15 mm connector
on the machine.
2.6Turn the System Power switch to
ON.
2.7Set all vaporizer handwheels to
their Zero or OFF position.
WARNING
2.1Activate the waste gas scavenger
system.
2.2Attach a breathing bag to the bag
mount connector.
Do not inhale anesthetic vapors as
this could result in personal injury.

2.8Open the filler and drain plugs, and
drain the vaporizer into a suitable
container. Dispose of the residual
agent in an approved manner.
2.9Close the filler and drain plugs.
2.10 Turn the vaporizer handwheel to
themaximumconcentrationsetting.
2.11 Set the oxygen flow to 10 l/min. for
at least 20 minutes.
2.12 Turn the vaporizer handwheel to 0
(zero), turn the oxygen flow off and
set the System Power switch to
STANDBY.
3.Whileholdingthevaporizer,
remove the mounting screws and
carefully separate the vaporizer
from the machine.
4.Place the vaporizer in a suitable
container for transport or storage.
5.Remove the desflurane vaporizer
from its packing container and
inspect the vaporizer for damage.
6.Verify that the dial (handwheel) is
set to Standby.
7.Place an O-ring (supplied by the
vaporizer manufacturer) in each
recess of the mounting surface of
the vaporizer.
WARNING
DO NOT use the Dräger O-rings
wheninstallingthedesflurane
vaporizer. The Dräger O-rings may
cause occlusion of the gas passages
when used with desflurane.
8.Secure the vaporizer to the machine
withtwo35 mmlongscrews
(Ohmeda supplied by the vaporizer
manufacturer). See Figure 1.
WARNING
If the Desflurane vaporizer is later
removed from the machine and a
Dräger vaporizer installed in its
place, DO NOT use the Ohmeda
screws or the Ohmeda O-rings to
mount the Dräger vaporizer. The
longer Ohmeda screws will bottom
out and will not allow a gas tight
seal between the Dräger vaporizer
and the machine.
