Background and Identification
The Drager Vapor machine is a vaporizer that is used for anesthetic procedures. It was originally used in the army as a mobile surgical unit due to upholding the clinical regulations for anesthesia use. The machine can be operated in a temperature range from 10-40 degrees celsius. This is beneficial for any circumstance of heat or cooling being an important factor in the procedure. It also has a battery pack that it can be run off when power goes out.
The advantage to this machine is that it is able to be transported very easily. It is also large enough to withhold a full bottle of the anesthesia so that a minimum level is reached. It is also good to note that the machine doesn’t have to be emptied before it is transported to another location; instead it can be set to a different setting (T-setting) to ensure safety.
The D-Vapor is a smaller compact machine that is placed into a bigger machine. This device is big enough to hold a big bottle of anesthesia but easy enough to transport. The different colors of the machine tell the color code of the anesthetic agent used for that design. The shape of the filling nozzle prevents the possibility of filling with the wrong agent. The model of the device is on the front of the machine, indicating what version it is.
