Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Ohmeda Tec 5 Vaporizer is a non-heated anesthesia vaporizer designed for delivering sevoflurane in inhalation anesthesia. Classified as a Class II device, it operates using continuous flow techniques and is intended for out-of-circuit use, ensuring precise vapor concentration regardless of environmental conditions. Its design adheres to regulatory standards for anesthesia delivery systems, ensuring safety and reliability in clinical settings.
This device is supplied as a reusable medical instrument, requiring proper maintenance and calibration to comply with regulatory requirements. It is temperature-, flow-, and pressure-compensated to maintain consistent output despite cooling from evaporation. The Tec 5 is compatible with Datex-Ohmeda anesthesia machines and select Drager models, featuring a fill system (Key Fill or Funnel Fill) to minimize leaks during refueling. Authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K942091), it is regulated under the anesthesia vaporizer category (CAD) and falls under the Anesthesiology specialty.
