Abstract:
An anesthetic apparatus comprising:a plurality of individually activatable anesthetic evaporators connected to a holder and gas distributor;a plurality of mechanical elements, each of said evaporators having one of said mechanical elements uniquely associated therewith, said one of said mechanical elements being actuated when the evaporator associated therewith is activated; andsaid plurality of mechanical elements being disposed relative to each other so that all of said mechanical elements cross each other in a crossing region and mechanically interact with each other in said crossing region so that when a mechanical element is actuated, thereby becoming an actuated mechanical element, upon activation of the evaporator associated therewith, the actuated mechanical element blocks actuation of all other mechanical elements in said plurality of mechanical elements, thereby preventing activation of any other evaporator in said plurality of evaporators.
