Inspect the anesthetic delivery system before each use. The bulb should remain collapsed for at least 10 s. To test for leaks in the vapourisers, individual vapouriser should be turned on and above mentioned steps be repeated. Anesthesia providers should be competent in performing all aspects of the pre-anesthesia machine checklist and be aware of common equipment problems, the risk of patient injury, how to react when equipment failure occurs, and how to best prevent equipment from happening in the first place or resulting in patient harm.

There are definite hazards to patients when scavenging systems fail- so consider the scavenger part of the breathing system and check it each day. The checklist specifies outcomes rather than processes and covers all the equipment necessary to conduct safe anaesthesia, not just the anaesthesia workstation. [] The central supply of medical air can be from manifold, compressor or a proportionating (synthetic air) system and includes emergency reserve manifold. Somewhere in the scavenger apparatus, there will be a means of adjusting the negative pressure from the wall, so the suction will not be too strong or too weak to be effective. 4.1.2 Inhalational anaesthesia delivery devices 4.1.2.1 Ascertain that there are no leaks in the “on” and “off” state.
