ISOFLURANE FILLER


The Isoflurane bottle has notches in them arranged in a way that is specific for Isoflurane.  The Isoflurane key filler has specific corresponding cuts where the notches the notches of the bottle will fit.  This makes sure that you cannot fix the wrong filler key into the wrong bottle.


The notches on the bottle fit perfectly into the key filler.


The correct key filler is on the correct bottle


Note the corner notch in the vaporiser end of the Isoflurane key filler.


The corner notch in the Isoflurane key filler aligns with the corner notch of the Isoflurane vaporiser.
