About the GE Datex Ohmeda Tec 6 Plus Anesthesia Vaporizer
The GE Datex Ohmeda Tec 6 Plus handles desflurane’s unique physical properties with electronic control instead of traditional thermal compensation. Unlike conventional vaporizers that rely on temperature-sensitive bypass chambers, this unit uses electronic monitoring to maintain precise concentration delivery across varying flow rates and temperatures.
The built-in LED display shows real-time status and concentration data, while automatic self-diagnostics run at startup to verify system integrity. Worth noting: the unit stays operational during refilling, so you won’t need to interrupt cases for agent changes. The concentration range spans 1 to 18% with ±0.5% accuracy at standard flow rates.
Key Features
- Electronic desflurane delivery with LED status display
- Self-diagnostic protocol at power-up
- Hot-swap refilling during active use
- Saf-T-Fill valve prevents accidental vapor release during filling
- 390 mL liquid capacity with 240 mL refill indicator
