Frequently asked questions
Is this vaporizer compatible with Isoflurane or Sevoflurane?
Yes, the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is designed for precise anesthetic delivery using one of two specific agents.
It is available in variants dedicated to either Isoflurane or Sevoflurane.
It is crucial to note that the unit is agent-specific and calibrated for the agent chosen. Therefore, when ordering, you must select the appropriate variant (Isoflurane or Sevoflurane) to ensure correct usage and accuracy.
Is this vaporizer certified refurbished?
Yes, the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is Certified Refurbished.
This condition ensures the device has been fully tested and restored to meet high standards for performance and reliability, providing accurate and dependable agent concentration delivery.
What anesthetic agents does this unit support?
The GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is available in variants supporting one of two common inhalation anesthetic agents. Each individual unit is designed and calibrated for only one agent, so you must select the appropriate variant when ordering.
The supported agents are:
- Isoflurane (Iso)
- Sevoflurane (Sevo)
This is a precision device featuring comprehensive temperature, flow, and pressure compensation technology to ensure highly accurate and consistent output of the selected agent.
Does the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer have a high liquid capacity?
The GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer features a generous 300 ml liquid capacity, ensuring sufficient supply for continuous flow inhalation anesthesia.
Is the vaporizer fully compensated for stable output?
Yes, the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is engineered with comprehensive compensation to ensure highly stable and accurate delivery of the anesthetic agent, regardless of operational variables. This is a key selling point for reliability in clinical environments.
The unit includes triple compensation mechanisms:
- Temperature Compensation: Maintains consistent output concentration despite the cooling effects caused by the evaporation of the liquid anesthetic agent.
- Flow Compensation: Ensures accurate dosing even with variations in the inlet carrier gas flow rate.
- Pressure Compensation: Guarantees output stability by adjusting for minor fluctuations in the system pressure.
What type of mounting system is the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer designed for?
The GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is designed for use on Selectatec Series Mounted Manifolds.
Is the Tec 5 used for continuous flow inhalation anesthesia?
Yes, the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is specifically engineered for out-of-circuit use within continuous flow techniques of inhalation anesthesia.
Its primary function is to provide dependable and precise agent concentration delivery. A major benefit is its advanced compensation system:
- It is fully compensated for variations in temperature, gas flow, and pressure.
- This ensures the output concentration remains relatively constant, enhancing patient safety.
- The vaporizer is designed for integration onto Selectatec Series Mounted Manifolds and is compatible with either Isoflurane or Sevoflurane (depending on the specific unit).
Does the vaporizer use a single control dial?
Yes, the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is engineered for straightforward use with an ergonomic design featuring a single control dial.
This primary interface allows for:
- Simple Adjustment: Precise and easy setting of the required anesthetic agent concentration.
- Reliable Performance: The single dial complements the unit’s built-in temperature, flow, and pressure compensation, which ensures consistent agent output regardless of operational fluctuations.
Is the vaporizer output accurate and stable?
Yes, the GE Tec 5 Selectatec Vaporizer is engineered for highly accurate and stable delivery of anesthetic agents, which is essential for continuous flow anesthesia. Its reliable performance is achieved through a robust, integrated compensation system that ensures output constancy despite environmental and operational variables.
Compensation Features
The vaporizer automatically compensates for:
- Temperature: Corrects for cooling effects caused by agent evaporation.
- Flow: Stabilizes delivery against variations in the incoming carrier gas flow rate.
- Pressure: Accounts for fluctuations in the overall system pressure.
This precision is maintained across the intended operating temperature range of 16°C to 35°C.
Accuracy Specifications
The device is accurately calibrated. Under standard test conditions (5 liters/minute Oxygen flow at 21°C
± 2°C), the required accuracy tolerances are:
- 5% Dial Setting: +/- 0.25% of the delivered agent OR +/- 15% of the dial setting (whichever is greater).
- 8% Dial Setting: +/- 0.4% of the delivered agent OR +/- 15% of the dial setting (whichever is greater).
Does this device integrate well with existing anesthesia manifolds?
Yes, this unit is specifically engineered for seamless integration with Selectec Series Mounted Manifolds. Its design prioritizes professional compatibility and stable, reliable performance within clinical anesthesia setups. Key integration benefits include:
- Secure Mounting: Built specifically to meet the mechanical standards of the Selectec series.
- Workflow Efficiency: The ergonomic design allows for quick and secure attachment to existing continuous flow inhalation anesthesia systems.
