ACCURACY VERIFICATION OF ANESTHESIA
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.
