Vapomatic Vaporizer
Filling & Draining Procedure
Make sure or ensure Vapomatic Vaporizer is upright at all times. Ensure vaporizer is turned off when not in use.
Warnings:
Do not fill Vaporizer with any agent other than the one specified on front cover. Vaporizer is designed for that agent only. Use of any agent other than the one specified can be dangerous to patient.
Do not fill vaporizer unless control knob is in “off” position.
Do not turn dial “on” during filling.
Do not drain the agent into any container other than a properly marked container.
Draining Vaporizer:
Remove filler knob to reveal drain screw. Using a flathead screwdriver and while holding agent specific bottle under filler block, turn drain screw counter clockwise to drain. Retighten drain screw clockwise. Properly discard container for disposal.
Filling Vaporizer:
Ensure that dial is in “off” position. Remove the filler knob by turning it counter clockwise.
Verify the agent to be used is the same as that specified on front cover of vaporizer. Pour agent slowly on drain screw. When ¾ full on sight window, vaporizer is full. Replace filler knob by turning clockwise. To prevent leakage, ensure that the filler knob is fully tightened.
NOTE: If vaporizer was dry before filling, level will decrease slightly as wicks absorb the agent.
