Care and Cleaning
Vaporizer
Every two weeks, the vaporizer should be drained into appropriately-marked containers and
disposed of properly. Less frequent intervals may be used when the anesthetic does not contain
additives or a stabilizing agent.
WARNING: Do not drain the vaporizer into a container that is not properly marked.
Draining the Vaporizer:
1. The control dial should be in the OFF position.
2. Remove the filler cap from the fill cylinder to reveal the bottom drain plug.
3. Place a suitable container under the drain outlet on the fill cylinder.
4. Slowly unscrew the drain plug until liquid begins to flow into container. DO NOT unscrew
the drain plug all the way.
5. When all of the liquid agent has been drained, tighten the drain plug and replace the filler
cap.
Servicing the Vaporizer:
The vaporizer must be fully serviced and calibrated at least every three years. Servicing
must be completed by an authorized service technician. Contact UVP for vaporizer service
information.
WARNING: DO NOT MODIFY, TAMPER WITH OR DISASSEMBLE THE VAPORIZER.
THIS UNIT MUST ONLY BE SERVICED BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
