Only operate the vaporiser with dry medical gases
The MSS 3 looks like a Tec 3 but thats where the similarity ends.
Over the past 10 years we have made many improvements to the original design. In addition to those highlighted below (Tec 3). We have created a more stable vaporiser that gives accuracy of output between +/- 2% and 5% of Dial setting, plus a longer period of “Duration of use”.
Features
Calibrated for the specific anaesthetic drug.
Calibrated 0.25 to 5% (Sevoflurane 8%) using a “Laser Refractometer” (Tec 3 0.5 to 5.0% No 8% Sevoflurane).
Temperature, flow and duration of use compensation.
Safety lock to help prevent accidental turn-on of dial.
Specification
Calibrated at 22 deg C and 35 deg C +/- 1 deg C.
Calibration range: 0.25% – 0.5% through 5% (Sevoflurane 8%)v.v. (Tec 3 0.5 to 5% No 8% Sevoflurane)).
Fluctuations in temperature, flow rate and duration of use is automatically compensated for during use.
When used with I.P.P.V the variation in output is negligible.
Nominal Working Range : Fresh gas flow – 200 cc to 15 litre/min.
Ambient temperature – 18 deg C to 35 deg C.
Resistance to Gas Flow:
5 cm wg. at “OFF” setting at 5 litre/min oxygen.
21-29 cm wg. when delivering vapour in 5 litre/min oxygen at 21oC.
Liquid Capacity:
Amount of anaesthetic drug to fully charge the vaporiser – 150ml (Tec 3 125ml).
Amount retained by the wick system – 35ml.
