Machine and CALIBRATED VAPORIZER
PURPOSE
To measure the calibration accuracy of anesthetic gas delivery equipment through a range of dial settings based on manufacturers suggested flow rate parameters.
PROTOCOL
Calibrated vaporizers are verified on-site on their assigned machine for proper performance of output. A Riken Analyzer, the preferred system for verification of vaporizer output, is use for this procedure. Written documentation noting actual vaporizer output is completed and left with the hospital.
