Vaporizer Clean & Calibration
Indications for Service:
Discoloration (yellowish-brown) in the "Fill" sight glass of a vaporizer may be an indicator
for the need for service by an authorized service center. Other indicators might include
cracked or damaged hoses, sticking valves or knobs, patients not responding (as anticipated)
to the level of anesthesia provided.
Avante provides specific documentation with every service:
- Date of last service
- Date of the validation test
- Initials of the person who performed the test
- Test results
- Vaporizers will have a certificate of the calibration date affixed after each service
- Documentation of service will be affixed to each anesthesia machine or vaporizer that is
in service
