What Is Vaporizer Service?
Many vaporizer manufacturers recommend annual cleaning and calibration to ensure accuracy. In order to assure vaporizer accuracy, most manufacturers recommend each vaporizer be serviced and calibrated annually – with the exceptions of the D19 & D20, which are calibrated for life.
Internal components involved with vaporization, bypass, pressure compensation, temperature compensation, and wicking are all potential problems if not serviced on a regular schedule. The Vaporizer Exchange Program eliminates those problems by making the process simple and fast.
The Expense to Maintain an Accurate Vaporizer Is Easily Justified:
Economic savings through reduced anesthetic waste Health concerns are addressed by eliminating waste anesthetic gas leaks Anesthetic accuracy is improved and confidence in the equipment leads to patient safety
How It Works:
1) Place an order for a vaporizer exchange by specifying the vaporizer model, agent, and funnel or key fill. For Tek 4 vaporizers, we also must know if it is Latch or Bolt style
2) When the replacement vaporizer arrives to you, empty the agent and detach your existing vaporizer from your anesthesia machine
3) Attach the refurbished, calibrated, & certified vaporizer to your anesthesia machine
4) Place your old unit* into the shipping box, apply the pre-paid return shipping label and return it to Vetland Medical
*Return core vaporizers must be the same make, model, and attachments as the replacement unit supplied. Return core vaporizers must be functional & cosmetically intact for acceptable return to the exchange pool. Any deficiencies will be corrected & billed accordingly.
NOTE: Ohio style vaporizers are vintage and will be serviced on a “best-effort” basis due to lack of parts and availability
Watch this instructional video on removing your old vaporizer and replacing it with the exchange unit.
