EVALUATION OF A NEW HALOTHANE VAPORIZER: THE CYPRANE FLUOTEC MARK 3

Abstract
The construction working principles and evaluation of the new Cyprane Fluotec Mark 3 vaporizer for halothane are described. The high output facilities at low flows with the Fluotec Mark 2 have been omitted. With the Mark 3, the output is linear at all flows, and the “Hill-Lowe pumping effect” is negligible. The construction and overall performance are satisfactory, the vaporizer providing halothene in acceptably consistent concentrations over a wide range of conditions encountered during routine use by anaesthetists.
