Instructions for Use D-Vapor 5
For Your Safety and that of Your Patients
Recommendations for Safe Use
Use the apparatus under the supervision of qualified
medical personnel only to ensure that malfunctions are
remedied without delay!
To operate D-Vapor, observe the anaesthesia delivery
system's Instructions for Use.
Handle D-Vapor with care! Do not drop!
Do not carry the apparatus by the control dial,
control dial cap or locking lever!
Do not use a D-Vapor that has been dropped!
A D-Vapor that toppled over must be tested (see
’Checking the Concentration’, page 46). Do not use
D-Vapor if the test cannot be performed.
Damage could result in the delivery of incorrect
concentrations.
The European Norm EN 740 'Anaesthetic Workplaces
and their Modules' requires the use of an anaesthetic gas
monitor to monitor the content of anaesthetic vapour in
the inspiration gas as protection against dangerous
output values when the anaesthetic workplace is
operated with a vaporiser.
Dräger strongly recommend using an anaesthetic gas
monitoring device when using D-Vapor.
Country-specific standards on the mandatory use of
monitors must be observed.
When the D-Vapour is used with an anaesthetic device in
A cone operation, an anaesthetic gas monitor must be
used.
Do not use D-Vapor during magnetic resonance
tomography (MRT)!
The apparatus' function could be disrupted.
Establish the potential equalisation for intracardiac or
intracranial operations.
Only fill D-Vapor with Desflurane (Suprane®)!
If liquids other than Desflurane get into D-Vapor, the
apparatus could get damaged and the patient harmed.
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions
regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to
be installed and put into service according to the EMC infor-
mation provided in the technical documentation available from
Dräger Service upon request.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect
medical electrical equipment.
Pins of connectors identified with the ESD warn-
ing symbol shall not be touched and not be con-
nected unless ESD precautionary procedures
are used. Such precautionary procedures may
include antistatic clothing and shoes, the touch
of a ground stud before and during connecting the pins or the
use of electrically isolating and antistatic gloves. All staff
involved in the above shall receive instruction in these proce-
dures.
Only use dry, medically pure gases!
To reduce the hazard of fire, do not use flammable
substance such as ether or cyclopropane near D-Vapor!
Installation and/or operation with anaesthesia delivery
systems in moving vehicles, aeroplanes, helicopters, and
ships is only permissible after consultation with Dräger
and their approval.
High Desflurane settings reduce the O2concentration in
the fresh gas.
High Desflurane concentrations can influence the hot-
wire volume gauge! The volume displayed is too high.
High-frequency ventilation, the use of anaesthesia
delivery systems with non-continuous fresh gas flow, or
the repeated activation of the O2flush can switch off
D-Vapor.
Follow the anaesthesia delivery system's Instructions
for Use.
The available RS-232 interface is provided for service
purposes only.
General information on electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) according to the international
EMC standard IEC 60601-1-2: 2001

Intended Use
6Instructions for Use D-Vapor
Intended Use
D-Vapor – heated, calibrated anaesthetic vaporiser for the
enrichment of dry, fresh medical gas with vapour of the
anaesthetic agent Desflurane (Suprane®) in concentrations
of 2 to 18 vol.% in anaesthesia delivery systems.
D-Vapor is inserted in the fresh-gas line of an anaesthesia
delivery system. The vaporiser is connected between the
fresh-gas flow-control unit and the fresh-gas outlet.
The operation of D-Vapor depends on the direction of flow
of the fresh gas. It must be connected and operated in
accordance with the direction of flow specified on the
apparatus.
The use of D-Vapor with different anaesthesia delivery
systems is only permissible and safe when used with the
appropriate special adapters.
D-Vapor is not suitable for use in a breathing system.
The simultaneous operation of several vaporisers switched
in series is not permissible, particularly when different
anaesthetic agents are used.
D-Vapor must not be used in rooms for magnetic
resonance tomography!
When D-Vapor is connected to anaesthetic devices by
manufacturers other than Dräger, make sure the connection
values required for the intended use, e.g. for the geometry,
pressure and fresh-gas flow, and the electrical values,
including the leakage current, are observed see 'Technical
Data'.
Deviating from the required connection values can result in
the delivery of incorrect concentrations.
D-Vapor may only be used with anaesthesia delivery
systems that correspond to one of the following standards:
EN 740, ISO 8835, IEC 60601-2-13, ASTM F 1161,
ASTM F 1850, CSA-Z 168.3.
Installation and/or operation with anaesthesia delivery
systems in moving vehicles, aeroplanes, helicopters, and
ships is only permissible after consultation with Dräger and
their approval.
Use the apparatus under the supervision of qualified
medical personnel only to ensure that malfunctions are
remedied without delay!

Connecting and Interlock Systems
Using D-Vapor with different anaesthesia delivery systems
requires using different connecting systems.
On anaesthesia delivery systems with several vaporiser
connections, the different Interlock systems* ensure that only
one vaporiser is used at a time and that the others are
switched off and locked.
Plug-in Adapter/Plug-in Connector
Enables vaporisers to be safely and quickly connected and
changed.
Most plug-in connectors have valves that allow fresh gas to
flow through whether a vaporiser is connected or not. These
plug-in connectors can be identified by the moveable valve
inserts in the inner holes on the connector pins.
Many vaporisers 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.
1To connect/remove, the control dial must be in the
»T« position and the locking lever must be engaged in
the control dial.
2The holes in the plug-in adapter on D-Vapor fit onto the
pins on the plug-in connector on the anaesthesia delivery
system.
3To secure/release, swing the locking lever into position
and engage/disengage the pin in the cover plate on the
vaporiser.
4The locking lever and pin help ensure that D-Vapor is
handled correctly and that it can only be fitted and removed
when the control dial is in the »T« position.
Plug-in DW-2000 adapter with Interlock 2
To connect to Dräger plug-in connectors.
* The different Interlock systems are not compatible with each other.
However, D-Vapor can be modified for use with other systems.

Preparation
20 Instructions for Use D-Vapor
Fitting Connectors
Use only authentic Dräger parts.
Connectors must be fitted by skilled personnel because
they have to be dismantled and checked. Risk of delivering
incorrect concentrations and/or release of anaesthetic
agent.
lRemove the cap, if present, from the gas inlet/outlet at the
back of the apparatus.
lAlways connect D-Vapor in such a way that the gas flow
matches the illustration and the arrow on the back of
D-Vapor.
lFollow the anaesthesia delivery system's Instructions for
Use.
lFor conical connectors: the male cone on the connecting
piece is the D-Vapor inlet; the female cone on the
connecting piece is the D-Vapor outlet.
Use two new screws, article no. 13 43 947, – do not re-use old
screws:
— Property class 10.9, surface A2R according to
DIN ISO 4042, thermally cured
— Dimensions DIN EN ISO 4762-M4 x each connector's
length. Screws fitted through the connector must be
screwed into place with a thread length of no less than
5 mm and no more than 7 mm. If screws shorter than
25 mm are used, place additional centering pins between
the plug-in adapter and D-Vapor.
lDo not use serrated lock washers, flat washers or similar.
lBefore fitting, make sure the sealing surfaces are clean and
undamaged.
lPlace the sealing washers, article no. M 21929, on the
sealing surfaces of the gas bores.
lFasten the screws to 270 to 300 Ncm, do not tighten.
lCheck that the connector is securely in place.
Only selected materials may be used with anaesthetic
agents.
An incorrect direction of flow leads to an incorrect
concentration!
If these requirements are not adhered to, D-Vapor
could fall off.
Risk of injury. Risk of delivering incorrect concentrations.
