Anesthetic agent will go into the atmosphere instead of
into the breathing circuit.
Perform either the
“Negative low-pressure leak test”
or the
depending on local requirements. It is not
necessary to perform both tests.
Negative low-
pressure leak test
1. Make sure the System switch is set to Standby.
2. Turn off all vaporizers.
3. Turn the ACGO switch to the ACGO position.
4. Compress and release the bulb until all air is removed from the

Occlude the inlet of the test device. Make sure it is a tight
seal.
•
If the bulb of the test device inflates in less than 60 seconds,
use a different test device.

•
Turn the flow controls one and a half turns counterclockwise.
•
Connect the test device to the auxiliary gas outlet.
•
Compress and release the bulb until all air is removed from
the bulb.
•
The floats will move. If the bulb inflates in 30 seconds or less,
there is a leak in the low-pressure circuit. See
in the
section.
•
Disconnect the test device.
6. Test each vaporizer for low-pressure leaks.
•
Turn on one vaporizer.
•
Set the vaporizer to 1%.
•
Perform step 5.
•
Repeat this test with each vaporizer.
•
If a low-pressure leak occurs while testing any of the
