What is a Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer?
‘The Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer adds Suprane™ (desflurane) inhalant anes-
thetic vapor to the medical gasses supplied to a patient. The Datex-
‘Ohmeda vaporizer should be used in anesthesia systems equipped
with a Selectatec® Series Manifold only.
‘The North American Drager vaporizer should be used in anesthesia
systems equipped with an exclusion manifold, Both variants of the Tec
6 Plus Vaporizer must be supplied with dry medical gas and be con-
nected to a suitable AC power supply.
‘The Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer is designed to meet UL 2601-1, EN 60601-
1 and IEC 601-2-13

Description
Mechanical and electrical interlocks incorporated into the vaporizer
help to ensure that:
+The vaporizer dial can only be turned from © (Standby) when.
the vaporizer is locked onto the manifold and the green
OPERATIONAL light is illuminated to indicate that the
vaporizer has attained the correct operating temperature.
* Only one vaporizer can be operated at a time.
+ The gas flow only enters the selected vaporizer.
‘+ Unwanted anesthetic trace vapor is minimized after the
vaporizer is tumed to © (Standby).
European Standard EN 740 - Anesthetic Workstations and Their Mod-
Ules requires that an appropriate gas monitor is used to monitor the
concentration of anesthetic agent vapor in the inspiratory gas when
the vaporizer is in operation in order to provide protection against haz-
ardous output in the event of a device malfunction.

A WARNING
This manual and its associated documentation must be
studied before any attempt is made to install, operate or
clean any part of the Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer.
The performance of the anesthesia machine and vaporizer
can be degraded if the machine and vaporizer are mis-
matched.
To avoid explosive hazards, flammable anesthetic agents
such as Ether and Cyclopropane must not be used in this,
vaporizer. Only anesthetic agents which comply with the
requirements for non-flammable anesthetic agents in the
IEC 601-2-13 Standard, particular requirements for the
safety of anesthesia machines, are suitable for use in the
presence of this vaporizer.
As this vaporizer is not suitable for use with flammable
anesthetic agents such as Ether or Cyclopropane, the use
of antistatic breathing tubes and face masks is not
necessary. The use of antistatic or electrically conductive
breathing tubes when utilizing high frequency electric
surgery equipment may cause bums and is therefore not
recommended in any application of this vaporizer.
The functioning of this vaporizer can be adversely effected
by the operation of equipment such as high frequency
surgical apparatus or short-wave therapy equipment in the
vicinity.
Do not operate the vaporizer other than with dry medical
gases.
The Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer must not be used in a Magnetic
Resonance Imaging environment.
The functioning of this Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer can be
adversely affected by electromagnetic interference
exceeding the levels specified in EN 60601-1-2.

‘The Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer operates from a 100 to 120VAC 50/60 Hz or
220 to 240V AC 50/60 Hz electrical supply. A label on the rear panel
of the vaporizer states the voltage requirement for the vaporizer.
The integral power supply unit consists of a transformer and an AC to
DC converter that provides the 12VDC and 5VDC supplies for the
electrical system.
‘The filler assembly uses an agent specific fitting to ensure that only a
Suprane™ (desflurane) specific bottle equipped with a Saf-T-Fill™
valve can be inserted to fil the vaporizer.

Sump__ The sump contains the agent and includes the agent filling port, the
drain, the heaters and the agent level sensor.
‘The sump has a total nominal capacity of 390 milliliters (ml) which con-
sists of a nominal 330 ml indicated volume and a nominal 60 ml
reserve
Heater elements Two 100W neater elements, located in the base of the sump, heat the
agent to a nominal 39 °C (102 °F) to generate the working pressure.
Two 100W heater elements located in the upper part of the vaporizer
help prevent condensation of the anesthetic agent in the vaporizer.
The current supplied to power the heaters altemates between the two
heaters in the sump and the two heaters in the upper part of the vapor-
izer. This minimizes the current requirement.
While it is connected to the electrical supply, the casing of the vapor-
izer is normally warm to the touch.
Sensors __ Internal electrokmechanical sensors monitor and maintain the fresh
gas/agent vapor pressure balance and the agent volume.
The intemal sensors monitor and display operational status and acti-
vate the appropriate alarm indication.

equipped with an exclusion manifold. The installation must
be performed by an individual trained in the servicing of
NAD anesthesia equipment. Each vaporizer is supplied
with O-rings and screws for the service person to install the
vaporizer onto the manifold.
Do not mount the vaporizer downstream of the common
gas outlet. Mounting the vaporizer in any position other
than that recommended in this manual can cause patient
injury.
Do not connect any vaporizer other than a Tec 6 Plus,
Tec 6, Tec5, or Tec 4 onto a Selectatec™ Series Manifold.
Connecting any other vaporizer onto the manifold may
make the interlock system ineffective and can result in the
ability to administer anesthetic agent mixtures, possibly
causing patient injury.
Before mounting a vaporizer onto the Selectatec™ Series
manifold, ensure that each manifold port valve O-ring is
intact and that there is no foreign matter around the mating
surfaces. A damaged O-ring and/or foreign matter around
the mating surfaces can cause leaks.
Some versions of the Selectatec™ Series Mounted
Manifold provide mounting positions for three vaporizers.
These versions require the center position to be occupied
even if only two vaporizers are fitted. If the center position
is not occupied, the interlock which helps to ensure that
only one vaporizer at a time can be turned on is ineffective.

The Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer is calibrated in percent viv and the calibra~
tion is not affected by ambient pressure changes. The partial pressure
of the delivered agent at any selected dial setting varies directly with
the changes in ambient air pressure. The required dial setting can be
calculated using the following formula:

The performance of the Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer is not significantly affect-
ed by the temperature variations within the operating range specified
in Performance.
Fluctuating back pressure does not significantly affect the output of the
Tec 6 Plus Vaporizer.
Steady back pressure does not significantly affect the concentration of
the agent delivered (viv), but does increase partial pressure of the
agent. The increase is in the ratio of total back pressure to the vapor-
izer calibration pressure of 760 torr.

Effects of carrier gas composition
‘Small output decreases can occur when the carrier gas composition is.
‘changed from 100% oxygen.
‘When either air or nitrous oxide is employed as the carrier gas, the out-
Put is lowered compared to the output when oxygen is the carrier gas.
This effect is the greatest (up to 20% of setting) at low flows when ni-
{ous oxide is employed, but using nitrous oxide reduces the required
inspired concentrations of volatile agent which can, depending upon
the proportion, mitigate the decreases in output from the vaporizer.
