Buy Anaesthesia Vaporizer in Nigeria.

Where can I buy an anaesthesia vaporizer in Nigeria?

Request your quotation from Franance. Name the agent, the anaesthesia machine the vaporizer will be fitted to, the quantity and the delivery location. A listing on this site starts an enquiry. It does not establish current stock, a reserved unit, a price or a delivery date, and each quotation is confirmed against your configuration.

Tell us whether you are equipping a new theatre, replacing a vaporizer on a machine you already own or adding a second agent to an existing back bar. For a replacement, send the make and model of the anaesthesia machine and a photograph of the existing vaporizer mount. That one detail removes most of the compatibility risk. For a new theatre, say which workstation is being supplied, because the vaporizer and the machine should be specified together.

Franance can quote the vaporizer alongside the machine, breathing circuits and scavenging, or on its own. Ask for each item and each piece of requested technical work to be listed separately, so that clinical, engineering and procurement reviewers compare the same package. The catalogue is a quotation service, not an online shop, and there is no online payment.

Which anaesthesia vaporizers does Franance currently list?

Three vaporizer references are listed under this category. They are different instruments for different agents and machines, so treat them as separate choices rather than interchangeable alternatives.

The Dräger Vapor 2000 is a vaporizer for volatile anaesthetic agents. Dräger describes a 300 mL liquid agent capacity, connection options for the DW-2000, the Selectatec S-2000 and standard 23 mm ISO interfaces, an AutoExclusion mounting system and an operating temperature range of 10–40 °C. It is agent-specific, so the quotation must name the variant.

The Dräger D-Vapor 3000 is an electronic vaporizer for desflurane only. Dräger lists a 2–18 vol% dosage range, 300 mL total fill, an Auto Exclusion plug-in system, a 0.2–15 L/min flow range and an 18–30 °C operating range. It draws about 30 W, has a five-minute battery backup on mains failure and includes illumination and an acoustic low-fill alarm.

The Penlon Sigma Delta is offered here as the sevoflurane 8% configuration, catalogue reference 410502S. Penlon describes accurate agent delivery across changing flow and temperature, with the strongest performance at low flow, and lists key-fill, Quik-Fil and pour-fill filling options with several mounting systems.

Browse every listing in one place on the anaesthesia vaporizer category page, or narrow the view to the Dräger vaporizers or the Penlon vaporizers.

Which agent should the vaporizer be specified for?

Vaporizers are agent-specific. A unit built and calibrated for one agent should not be used for another, so decide the agent before you decide the make. Sevoflurane, isoflurane and desflurane each need a correctly specified vaporizer, and the quotation should name the agent in plain words, not only a model number.

Desflurane is the special case. It boils close to room temperature, which is why Dräger offers the D-Vapor 3000 as an electronic unit rather than a conventional dial vaporizer. Because it needs mains power, it is the one choice here where theatre power quality is part of the purchase decision. If your hospital does not plan to stock or use desflurane, a D-Vapor 3000 is not the right purchase, however attractive its feature list.

For the Penlon Sigma Delta, the manufacturer's page lists halothane, isoflurane and sevoflurane variants, with maximum settings of 5% for halothane and isoflurane and 8% for sevoflurane. The listing on this site is the sevoflurane 8% variant. Ask Franance if you need a different Sigma Delta agent, because that is a separate configuration and the quotation must confirm it.

Check the agent your pharmacy can actually source and fund. A vaporizer is a long-term asset, but agent supply is a recurring cost and a recurring logistics question. Make sure the agent you choose is one your hospital can buy reliably before you commit to the vaporizer.

How do I confirm a vaporizer fits my anaesthesia machine?

This is the most common source of error, and it is avoidable. Vaporizers attach to the machine's back bar through a mounting system, and the systems are not interchangeable. Dräger lists DW-2000, Selectatec S-2000 and 23 mm ISO connection options for the Vapor 2000. Penlon lists Selectatec, Dräger Plug-In, North American Dräger, Dräger Auto-Exclusion and Cagemount compatibility for the Sigma Delta. The D-Vapor 3000 uses an Auto Exclusion plug-in system.

Several of these are exclusion or interlock arrangements, which are designed so that two vaporizers on the same back bar cannot be switched on at the same time. That is a safety feature, but it also means the vaporizer's mount, the back bar and any existing vaporizers have to belong to the same family.

For the enquiry, send the following:

- The make, model and approximate age of the anaesthesia machine.
- The type of vaporizer mount on the back bar, and a photograph if you are unsure.
- How many vaporizer positions the machine has and which agents already occupy them.
- Any existing vaporizers you intend to keep and the filling system they use.

Do not assume that a vaporizer will fit because it is from the same brand as the machine, or because it carries the same mount name as another unit. Dräger notes that product availability and features vary by country, and Penlon notes that Dräger Auto-Exclusion is not available in the United States. Ask for written confirmation of the interface in the quotation. If the machine is a Mindray, review the anaesthesia workstation category and confirm vaporizer compatibility with the exact model.

Dräger or Penlon: how should I compare them?

Compare on your requirements, not on brand reputation. The two makers offer different options, and the right answer depends on the machine and the agent.

Consider a Dräger vaporizer when the machine is a Dräger or uses a Dräger-compatible mount, when you need desflurane, or when you already hold Dräger vaporizers and want a common mount and filling approach. The Vapor 2000 covers the volatile agent route, and the D-Vapor 3000 is the desflurane route. Read the Dräger equipment guide for the wider range.

Consider a Penlon Sigma Delta when you need sevoflurane and want a choice of mount types, including Selectatec. Penlon markets the Sigma Delta as service-free, based on an assumed ten-year product life with no preventive maintenance, and recommends a service at ten years. Halothane vaporizers need a service every five years. Treat the service-free claim as the manufacturer's conditional statement, not a promise about your own site. The Penlon equipment guide covers the wider range.

Whichever you shortlist, ask each supplier the same questions: the exact variant, the mount, the filler, accessories, documents supplied, installation scope and who services the unit afterwards. Place the answers side by side before looking at the price.

What filling system and capacity do I need?

The filling system affects daily practice as much as the vaporizer itself. Penlon lists key-fill, Quik-Fil and pour-fill options for the Sigma Delta, with a key filler or a Quik-Fil drain funnel available as accessories. Agent bottles carry matching adapters, so the bottle adapter, filler and vaporizer must correspond. Dräger describes a 300 mL liquid agent capacity for the Vapor 2000, and lists 300 mL total fill and 240 mL refill volume for the D-Vapor 3000.

Ask your anaesthetists which filling system they prefer and which one your theatres already use. If your hospital has standardised on one filler type, keeping new vaporizers on the same type reduces the number of adapters to stock and the chance of confusion at the bedside.

Ask the quotation to state the filler, the bottle adapter and whether any funnel or key is included. Do not leave filler accessories to be sorted out after delivery, because a vaporizer without the right filler may not be usable on day one.

How are vaporizers serviced, and what support should I ask about?

Ask who will service the vaporizer, how often, and where. Penlon's stated service position is described above. Dräger's service intervals should be taken from the manufacturer's current instructions for use for your variant, and you should ask Franance to confirm them in the quotation. Do not rely on a general rule from another model.

Service and calibration checks matter because a vaporizer that has drifted can deliver the wrong concentration without any visible fault. Agree at the time of purchase how the first calibration check, the planned service and any repair will be handled. Ask for the instructions for use and service documentation to be supplied with the unit.

Franance does not assert local servicing entitlement or workshop capacity that has not been confirmed for your order. Ask for any service or commissioning support you need to be written into the quotation, and keep the serial number and installation record so that later service requests can name the exact unit.

For the D-Vapor 3000, also ask what happens on mains failure. Dräger lists a five-minute battery backup, which is a short bridge and not a substitute for protected power. Confirm that your theatre has stabilised mains and, where appropriate, a UPS or generator changeover that the machine and the vaporizer can both rely on.

What else belongs with the vaporizer in a theatre set-up?

A vaporizer works as one part of a system. The workstation supplies the gas flow and the back bar, the breathing circuit connects the patient, and the scavenging system removes waste gas. Plan these together.

- Workstation: the vaporizer must mount on its back bar. See the anaesthesia workstation category.
- Breathing circuits: circuits, filters and bags are consumables with their own specifications. See the breathing circuit category.
- Scavenging: volatile agents are released with exhaled gas, so plan waste-gas removal. See the gas scavenging category.
- Wider range: see all anaesthesia systems listed by Franance.

This guide does not describe clinical use, vaporizer settings or patient care. Those belong to your trained clinical staff and the manufacturer's instructions for use. The guide covers what to specify and ask when buying.

How much does an anaesthesia vaporizer cost in Nigeria?

Franance lists vaporizers as price on request. The price depends on the model, the agent variant, the mount, the filler and accessories, and the supply scope you ask for. Exchange-rate movements and import costs also affect the figure, so a quotation is valid for the period it states and not indefinitely.

To compare quotations fairly, set out the same specification for each supplier and ask them to price the same items. Compare the vaporizer, the filler and adapters, documents, delivery, installation and the first service as separate lines. A low headline price that leaves out the filler, an interface adapter or setup is not a lower total cost.

Ask whether the price includes the instructions for use, any manufacturer documents your approval process needs, and a warranty. Franance does not assert warranty terms or coverage in advance. Request them in writing for the exact configuration you intend to buy.

How do delivery and handover work in Nigeria?

Give the full delivery address, including the state and the facility's receiving contact. Delivery scope, lead times and charges depend on the configuration and destination, and Franance confirms them in the quotation rather than promising them in advance.

On arrival, check the unit against the quotation: model, agent label, mount type, serial number and accessories. Record the condition on receipt, and do not fill the vaporizer or fit it to a patient circuit until your engineer has verified it against the manufacturer's instructions. Follow the manufacturer's handling and storage instructions until installation.

Plan the fitting. A vaporizer should be mounted on a compatible back bar by someone qualified, and your biomedical engineer should confirm the mount, the leak check and the first calibration check before use. Ask Franance to include any requested installation or familiarisation support in the quotation, and keep the handover record with the serial number.

Climate matters here. Dräger gives an operating range of 10–40 °C for the Vapor 2000 and 18–30 °C for the D-Vapor 3000. If the theatre is not reliably air-conditioned, check that the room's real temperature sits inside the range for the unit you choose.

What should I include in a vaporizer enquiry?

A complete enquiry lets Franance respond with one clear quotation and avoids rounds of clarification. Send:

- The agent: sevoflurane, isoflurane, desflurane or another named agent.
- The make and model of the anaesthesia machine, and the mount type on its back bar.
- The preferred filling system, bottle adapter and any accessories.
- The quantity, and whether any unit replaces an existing vaporizer.
- Your delivery address and a named technical contact.
- Any installation, calibration, familiarisation or service support you require.
- Whether you need documents for your own approval process.

You can start from the Dräger vaporizer listings or the Penlon vaporizer listings, or send your own specification. A saved quote draft on this site records the items you chose, but it does not prove that Franance has received your request. Use an available contact route to confirm receipt and follow up, then keep the accepted quotation with the agent, mount, filler and service schedules together.
