Intended Use

The Vapamasta 6 Anaesthesia Vaporiser a temperature-compensated concentration-calibrated vaporiser. They are designed to introduce an accurately metered volume of vaporised anaesthetic agent into the fresh gas flow of a continuous-flow anaesthetic apparatus. Their purpose of these devices is to vaporise an inhalable anaesthetic agent for which they have been calibrated and which is indicated on the labelling. They may be used for the induction and maintenance of a state of anaesthesia in humans during a medical procedure, usually involving a surgical operation. They may additionally be used for veterinary procedures. The devices are calibrated for a specific anaesthetic agent and vaporisers for the following anaesthetic agents are available in the Vapamasta 6 range; Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane or Sevoflurane. It is recommended by the manufacturer that the device is prepared for use by trained technicians, and that they are used by trained physicians for the purpose for which they are designed and manufactured as described above. It is recommended that suitable agent monitoring should be utilised at all times when these devices are in use. It is recommended that servicing and re-calibration shall be done at intervals prescribed by the manufacturer and performed by fully trained and authorised persons.

Device Story

Vapamasta 6 is a temperature-compensated, concentration-calibrated anesthetic vaporizer; integrates into continuous-flow anesthesia apparatus. Device receives fresh gas flow; introduces metered volume of vaporized anesthetic agent (Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, or Sevoflurane). Operated by trained physicians in clinical settings; prepared by trained technicians. Output is a precise concentration of anesthetic gas for patient inhalation. Benefits include controlled delivery of anesthesia for surgical procedures. Requires agent monitoring during use; periodic servicing and recalibration by authorized personnel.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; device relies on established principles of temperature-compensated, concentration-calibrated vaporization.

Technological Characteristics

Temperature-compensated, concentration-calibrated anesthetic vaporizer. Designed for integration into continuous-flow anesthesia systems. Specific calibration for Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, or Sevoflurane.

Indications for Use

Indicated for induction and maintenance of anesthesia in humans during medical/surgical procedures and for veterinary procedures. Compatible with Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, or Sevoflurane.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An anesthetic vaporizer is a device used to vaporize liquid anesthetic and deliver a controlled amount of the vapor to the patient.
