## Indications for use
The Datex-Ohmeda Tec 7 vaporizer is designed for the metered delivery of specific inhalation anesthetic agents for use in continuous flow techniques of inhalation anesthesia. It is available in halothane, isoflurane and sevoflurane variants. Each vaporizer is agent specific and is clearly labeled with the name of the anesthetic agent that it is designed for. The vaporizer is temperature, flow and pressure compensated so that its output remains relatively constant despite cooling due to evaporation, variations in inlet flow and fluctuating pressures. The vaporizer is designed to be used on Selectatec series mounted manifolds.
