Vetland Medical’s Vaporizer Exchange Program

Many vaporizers have manufacturer recommendations that they are cleaned and calibrated annually to ensure accuracy.  Previous options for this function were downtime with your equipment while you sent your vaporizer in for service, or an incomplete overhaul if you had a technician perform the service in-house.  Now, the process is easy with Vetland Medical’s Vaporizer Exchange Program!

How It Works

 1) Call us to place an order for a vaporizer exchange (please specify vaporizer type, agent, model, and brand of the machine if it is to be mounted to)

2) When replacement vaporizer arrives:

  • Empty the agent and detach your existing vaporizer from your anesthesia machine
  • Attach the new, refurbished vaporizer to your anesthesia machine
  • Place your old unit in the shipping box, apply the pre-paid return shipping label and send the unit to us

Tek 4 Vaporizer

The GE Datex Ohmeda Tec 4 is a widely respected anesthesia vaporizer designed for “out of circuit” use in continuous flow techniques. Engineered for precision and stability, the Tec 4 features advanced internal mechanisms that ensure output remains relatively constant despite the cooling effects of vaporization or variations in inlet flow. With its robust construction and intuitive design, this unit provides veterinary clinicians with reliable control over anesthetic depth during surgical procedures.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Temperature and Flow Compensation: The vaporizer is fully compensated to maintain accurate output across a wide range of ambient temperatures (18-35°C) and flow rates.
  • Safety Lock Mechanism: To prevent accidental activation, a release button is incorporated into the dial assembly; the unit can only be turned “ON” when the locking lever is engaged.
  • Precise Control Dial: Features a single control dial with a clear concentration scale calibrated in percentage of anesthetic agent (v/v).
  • Versatile Configuration: Available for use with Isoflurane or Sevoflurane agents and compatible with Funnel or Keyed filling systems.
  • Selectatec Mounting: Designed with the standard Selectatec mounting system for easy installation and removal from anesthesia machines.
  • Efficient Vaporization: Approximately 1.0 ml of liquid anesthetic provides 200 ml of vapor, ensuring efficient agent usage.

  • Wick Retention: 35 ml.
  • Dry Wick Capacity: 135 cc.
  • Flow Range: 0.25 to 15 LPM.

Clinical Applications

The Tec 4 Vaporizer is a staple in veterinary anesthesia due to its versatility:

  • Continuous Flow Anesthesia: Specifically designed for out-of-circuit use in continuous flow setups, making it suitable for a wide variety of patient sizes.
  • Diverse Environments: The temperature compensation allows for reliable performance in operating environments ranging from 18°C to 35°C.
