The GAV vaporizer provides an
effective means of controlling agent delivery over a broad spectrum
of clinical situations. It is designed for use in continuous flow
techniques of general anesthesia and has a finely graduated dial
coupled with an output which remains largely unchanged over a wide
range of dial settings, flow rates and temperatures.
Safety features such as interlock, non-spill and keyed filler are
incorporated and many convenience features are also included to
provide reliable and trouble free operation. The vaporizers are
agent specific with clear labeling and color coding to identify the
agent with which they are designed to be used. The warranty period
three years from day of supply. We recommend that the calibration is
simply checked on site each year after that.

Calibration |
| · |
Each GAV vaporizer has a single control dial which is calibrated
in percentage of anesthetic agent vapor per total volume (% v/v). |
| · |
The dials for Isoflurane and Halothane are calibrated to 5% v/v in
steps of 0.2% up to 1% and in steps of 0.5% from 1% to 5%. |
| · |
The dial for Sevoflurane is calibrated to 8% v/v in steps of 0.2%
up to 1% and in steps of 0.5% from 1% to 8%. |

Accuracy |
| · |
When the vaporizer is `Off' it is
isolated so it offers no resistance to gas flow. |
| · |
With the dial turned on, the
resistance is 15-20cm H2O at a flow of 5 I/min 02. |
