Intended Use
Dräger Vapor®2000 is an unheated, calibrated anaesthetic
vaporiser for the enrichment of dry, fresh medical gas in
anaesthesia delivery systems with accurately-controlled
concentrations of vapour from liquid anaesthetic agents.
The concentration delivered is, for the most part, not
influenced by operating and ambient conditions, such as
temperature, gas flow and ventilation pressure.
The Vapor 2000 is suitable for use in strong magnetic fields
(MRI equipment) when used in accordance with the operating
instructions on page 24.
Each Vapor is calibrated for a specified anaesthetic agent and
is only suitable for that anaesthetic agent.
Different models of Vapor are specified for different
anaesthetic agents and are marked accordingly.
The Vapor is inserted in the fresh-gas line of the anaesthesia
delivery system which typically delivers a continuous fresh-gas
flow. The Vapor is connected between the fresh-gas flow-
control unit and the fresh-gas outlet.
The Vapor is not suitable for use with a breathing system due
to high pneumatic resistance.
Proper functioning of the Vapor is dependent on the direction
of flow. It must be connected and operated in accordance with
the direction of flow specified on the machine.
The use of the Vapor with different anaesthesia delivery
systems is, therefore, only permissible and safe when it is used
with the appropriate special adapters.
Simultaneous operation of several Vapors switched in series is
not permissible, particularly for different anaesthetic agents.
Dräger recommend that the output concentration is monitored
to detect any hazardous output values, using a monitor which
has continuous measurement and upper and lower alarm
limits.
Installation and/or operation with anaesthesia delivery systems
in mobile vehicles, aeroplanes, helicopters and ships is only
permissible after consultation with Dräger and their
agreement.
According to US and Canadian law these machines must only
be used by or on the instructions of a fully qualified medical
practitioner.
The Vapor must only be used by qualified medical
personnel to ensure that any malfunction can be
remedied without delay.

2turn control dial clockwise to »T« transport setting –
»0« button engages.
3For plug-in adapter: engage locking lever in control dial.
Connecting and Interlock systems
When the Vapor is used with different anaesthesia delivery
systems, different connecting systems have to be used.
When anaesthesia delivery systems have several Vapor
connectors, the different Interlock systems1ensure that only
one Vapor can be used at any one time, while the others are
switched off and blocked.
The interlock system on the vaporiser and anaesthesia delivery
system must be functional. Especially with Interlock 2, the
nibs must be engaged and undamaged in both openings of
the interlock disc. See also "Checking Readiness for
Operation" Page 36.
A malfunctioning Interlock may endanger the patient by
causing overdosing or a mixture of anaesthetic agents.
Plug-in adapter/plug-in connector
to connect Vapor safely and change over quickly.
Most plug-in connectors have valves to allow fresh gas to flow
through, whether the Vapor is, or is not, connected. These
plug-in connectors can be identified by the moveable valve
inserts in the inner holes on the connector pins.
Many Vapors with plug-in adapters carry an anaesthetic agent
code on the back, which can be read and displayed by
anaesthesia delivery systems designed for the purpose.
4To connect/disconnect, control dial must be at the »T«
setting and the locking lever must be engaged in the control
dial.
5The holes in the plug-in adapter on the Vapor fit onto the
pins on the plug-in connector on the anaesthesia delivery
system.
6To secure/release, swing locking lever into position and
engage/disengage the pin in the cover plate on the Vapor.
7The locking lever and pin help to ensure that the Vapor is
handled correctly and that it can only be fitted and
disconnected when the control dial is at the »T« setting.
At »T« setting Vapor may be moved in any position.
If not at »T« setting, risk of incorrect output concentration,
or of anaesthetic agent escaping otherwise.
1 The different Interlock systems are not compatible with each other.
However, the Vapor can be modified from one system to another.

Fitting connectors
Use only authentic Dräger parts.
Only selected materials may be used with anaesthetic
agents in breathing gas.
Connectors may only be fitted by trained service personnel,
because they must be dismantled and checked.
Risk of incorrect output concentration or escape of
anaesthetic agent otherwise.
●Remove protecting cap on gas inlet/gas outlet at the back
– when fitted.
●Always connect Vapor in such a way that the gas flow
matches the illustration given and the arrow on the back.
●Follow Instructions for Use for Anaesthesia Delivery
System.
●For conical connectors: the male cone on the connecting
piece is the Vapor inlet; the female cone on the connecting
piece is the Vapor outlet.
1Two new screws – do not re-use old screws:
— strength class 10.9, surface A2R conforming to
DIN ISO 4042, heat treated.
— dimensions DIN EN ISO 4762-M4 x length depending
on connector.
Screws fitted through the connector must be screwed
into place with a thread length of not less than 5 mm and
not more than 7 mm.
If screws less than 25 mm long are used, additional
centering pins must be fitted.
●Do not use fan locking washers, washers or similar.
●Before fitting, check that the connecting surfaces,
particularly the sealing areas, are clean and undamaged.
2Place 2 sealing rings, item no. M 21929, on the sealing
areas around the gas passages.
●Tighten screws to 270 to 300 Ncm once, do not tighten
once more.
●Check that the connector is secure.
If the flow is in the wrong direction an incorrect
concentration may be delivered, often an increased
concentration.
If these requirements are not met, the Vapor might fall
off. Risk of injury.

Check that the Vapor fits flush with the lower installation points
and, when viewed from the side, is suspended from the
machine in a vertical position.
●"Filling Vapor", see page 13.
After filling for the first time wait 15 minutes for the dry
wicks inside to become saturated.
The filling level of the anaesthetic agent may drop; refill if
required.
●"Checking concentration", see page 39.
●Use on anaesthesia delivery systems made by other
manufacturers only after a system function check for
geometry, pressure and flow has been carried out by
trained service personnel (on each type of anaesthesia
delivery system).
Risk that fresh gas and anaesthetic agent vapour may
escape otherwise.
The technical data for Vapor 2000 and the anaesthesia
delivery system must be adhered to. Any deviations might
result in incorrect concentrations being delivered.

Filling Vapor
Recommendation: ensure adequate ventilation when filling
Vapor when not connected to anaesthesia delivery system.
Only fill Vapor with the anaesthetic agent specified on it.1
Observe use-by date for anaesthetic agent.
When using branded products from different manufacturers
make sure that the correct agent is used, for instance,
following the colour coding of the Vapor and the anaesthetic
agent bottle:
From a technical viewpoint the same anaesthetic agent from
different manufacturers with different tradenames, which are
identical in composition and physical and chemical properties
and are approved as medicaments, can be administered
separately or in combination in Vapor and monitored with
Dräger anaesthetic agent monitors.
If this has happened, mark Vapor for appropriate substance
and call DrägerService for repair.
Make sure that the drainage valve is closed as significant
quantities of anaesthetic agent may escape if it is not.
Keep Vapor upright, or hanging vertical, while it is being
filled.
Take care not to spill anaesthetic agent.
Do not inhale anaesthetic agent vapour.
Danger to health.
1 Only use anaesthetic agents approved in the country of use.
Halothane red
Enflurane orange
Isoflurane purple
Sevoflurane yellow
Do not use a Vapor which has been filled or partly filled
with the wrong anaesthetic agent or other substances.
The concentration delivered may be significantly higher or
lower than the concentration set on the control dial.
Risk of explosion from combustible substances.
Many anaesthetic-agent monitors do not identify mixtures
of anaesthetic agents and/or detect that the anaesthetic
agent being measured differs from the agent that was
set. Unusual deviations in the concentration displayed on
a monitor may indicate incorrect filling.
If it is at an angle it can be overfilled which may lead to
concentrations which are too high or too low.

●Unscrew filling adapter.
●Close bottle even if it is completely empty, or allow residues
of anaesthetic agent in the filling adapter and on the
anaesthetic agent bottle to evaporate under an extractor
fan.
If this is not done properly, fresh gas and anaesthetic
agent vapour may escape.
Anaesthetic agent bottle must not be stored with the
filling adapter screwed on. Anaesthetic agent will escape.
If this is not done properly, anaesthetic agent vapour will
escape into the ambient atmosphere.

millimetres the anaesthetic agent will start to overflow
through an overflow hole.
To finish filling process:
6Reduce pressure on bottle and pull bottle out slowly.
4Check filling level on sight glass – Vapor must be hanging
vertical during this check or standing upright.
Filling level must be visible and not above maximum mark.
If maximum mark has been exceeded there is a risk of
incorrect output concentration, so:
●Empty Vapor at least to maximum mark,
see "Draining Vapor", page 41.
8Screw cap onto bottle adapter.
Always keep bottle closed.
If, however, the filling adapter has not been connected to
anaesthetic agent bottle securely and tightly enough,
anaesthetic agent may continue to flow into Vapor.
7 Tighten screw cap firmly. If this is not done properly
fresh gas and anaesthetic agent may escape when
Vapor is next switched on.
