Used anesthesia machines do handle the life of given individuals. Life as we know is a very sensitive part in the creation of God. It is mandatory that these equipments be fitted with the required safety measures thereby not endangering the lives of patients and the doctors using them.
To begin with, oxygen is a supporter of life. Once it fails then there is no life. This facilitates the need for an oxygen failure alarm to be fitted in the equipment. This device is composed of a Ritchie whistle that alerts the staff when the oxygen pressure is descending hence, the necessary steps would be needed to be put in place.
Another safety tip as far as oxygen supply is concerned is nitrous cut-off. This is the regulator of the flow of oxygen in the pipes to the individual. It does the regulation just allowing the required amounts to pass through. When air comes in, this device prevents other types of air to pass through and reach the patient.
Availability is another major determinant that gives them an edge over the rest in the market. These equipments are easily available in the market with no shortage befalling on them. This means that their supply is at most constant throughout a given period of time.
Moreover, ratio controllers are a must requirement for the efficient working of the machine. Their location and control is done electrically without the interference of people. They play a very important role in ensuring that there is no mixture of gases in supply. This means that they act as sieves in sieving the air in supply to the patient.
In conclusion, used anesthesia machines need interlocks as another safety measure. Interlocks are located in between the vaporizers. They assist in breathing. Moreover, monitors are a requirement so as to take a closer look at the patients and what is going on. In addition to this, the presence of interlocking gas hoses help in preventing plugging into the wrong sockets.
