GE anesthesia circuit consumables: the annual kit — soda lime canister 2071165-001-S, flow sensor 2069358-001-S, sevoflurane adapter 2106572-003 and exhaust lines 8004462/8004463
The annual GE anesthesia circuit consumables kit: soda lime canister 2071165-001-S, flow sensor 2069358-001-S, sevoflurane adapter 2106572-003, exhaust lines 8004462/8004463.
The anesthesia circuit is the central part of the anesthesia machine: the breathing mixture is delivered to the patient through it, carbon dioxide is removed in it, and flow monitoring and anesthetic concentration control are carried out in it. Patient safety and anesthesia accuracy depend directly on the condition of the circuit consumables. For anesthesiology departments, the annual purchase of circuit consumables is a mandatory budget line.
In this guide we look at the annual GE anesthesia circuit consumables kit: soda lime canister 2071165-001-S, flow sensor 2069358-001-S, sevoflurane filling adapter 2106572-003 and exhaust lines 8004462/8004463.
1. Why an annual circuit consumables kit is needed
Anesthesia circuit consumables are expendable materials: every item has a limited life and is subject to scheduled replacement.
- •Soda lime canister — CO₂ absorption; life depends on minute ventilation and on how heavily the operating theatre is used.
- •Flow sensor — monitoring of tidal volume and ventilation; accuracy falls with contamination and wear.
- •Sevoflurane filling adapter — safe handling of the anesthetic; seals wear with frequent filling.
- •Exhaust lines — removal of exhaled gases from the monitoring system; rapid wear at the bend points.
A planned annual purchase rules out the situation where a consumable runs out in the middle of an operating day.
2. Soda lime canister 2071165-001-S
PN: 2071165-001-S
Category: replaceable soda lime canister — the key CO₂ absorption element in the circuit.
- •Used for carbon dioxide absorption in the closed circuit of GE Datex Ohmeda series C anesthesia machines (confirm the exact series against the machine model).
- •Pre-filled granular lime with indicator: when saturated, the colour changes from violet to white/yellow.
- •Fitted into the absorber holder; the transparent housing allows the granule colour to be checked without opening it.
Signs that replacement is needed:
- •the indicator colour has changed to white/yellow;
- •more than 24 hours of intensive work have passed;
- •increased resistance on inspiration.

3. Flow sensor 2069358-001-S
PN: 2069358-001-S
Category: respiratory flow sensor for ventilation monitoring.
- •Provides volume and flow measurement in the anesthesia circuit.
- •Suitable for GE Carestation 600/750 machines (confirm the circuit connector type).
- •A sensitive element, protected from condensate by filters and a water trap.
When to replace:
- •unstable tidal volume readings;
- •frequent false ventilation alarms;
- •sensor calibration error.
4. Sevoflurane filling adapter 2106572-003
PN: 2106572-003
Category: adapter (connector) for filling the sevoflurane vaporizer — a consumable variant for the vaporizers of GE anesthesia machines.
- •Provides a leak-free connection between the sevoflurane bottle and the vaporizer.
- •Prevents spilling of the anesthetic and contamination of the operating theatre.
- •Selected to match the vaporizer type (confirm the vaporizer model).
Safety rules: 1. Fill the vaporizer only when the machine is switched off and cooled down. 2. Check that the bottle and adapter are intact. 3. Do not overfill the vaporizer. 4. If anesthetic gets on the skin — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Exhaust lines 8004462 and 8004463
PN: 8004462, 8004463
Category: exhaust lines for gas monitoring systems and GE anesthesia machines.
- •They lead exhaled gases away from the measurement point to the disposal system.
- •Quick-release connections simplify replacement during servicing.
- •The two items differ in length and connector type — check against the circuit sample.
Exhaust lines, like all circuit consumables, are expendable items: replace them if they are kinked, cracked or no longer leak-tight.
6. Compatibility table
| PN | Item | Equipment type | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2071165-001-S | soda lime canister | GE Datex Ohmeda series C anesthesia machine | confirm the absorber holder |
| 2069358-001-S | flow sensor | Carestation 600/750 | confirm the circuit connector type |
| 2106572-003 | sevoflurane filling adapter | sevoflurane vaporizer | confirm the vaporizer model |
| 8004462 | exhaust line | gas monitoring / anesthesia | length and connectors |
| 8004463 | exhaust line | gas monitoring / anesthesia | length and connectors |
Exact compatibility depends on the machine model and the circuit version. Before ordering, send the device model to an engineer.
7. Calculating the annual purchase volume
A practical guide for one operating theatre:
- •soda lime canister — 1 pc per shift under intensive use, with stock for 12 months;
- •flow sensor — 2–4 pcs per machine per year;
- •sevoflurane adapter — 1–2 pcs per vaporizer;
- •exhaust lines — 2–4 pcs per year, according to the number of circuits.
For several theatres it is convenient to put together a single annual kit — this simplifies logistics and reduces the risk of downtime.
