Replacement and procurement of the GE soda lime canister lid and canister (2101113-001-S, 1407-7004-000) — lead times, prices, ordering procedure

Canister lid 2101113-001-S and soda lime canister 1407-7004-000 for GE: the role of the CO₂ absorption system, signs of wear, replacement and procurement for Russia.

Replacement and procurement of the GE soda lime canister lid and canister (2101113-001-S, 1407-7004-000) — lead times, prices, ordering procedure

In the semi-closed breathing circuits of anesthesia machines, the carbon dioxide exhaled by the patient is not discharged entirely to the outside air but partly returned to the circuit. To remove CO₂ from the exhaled mixture, soda lime is used, placed in a dedicated canister.

In this guide we cover the components of the CO₂ absorption system: the canister lid 2101113-001-S and the soda lime canister 1407-7004-000.

1. Why soda lime is needed

In a semi-closed circuit, part of the exhaled gas returns to the patient. Soda lime chemically binds CO₂, cleaning the recirculated mixture. This allows you to:

  • •reduce anesthetic consumption;
  • •maintain a stable concentration of the inhalation agent;
  • •reduce the release of anesthetic into the atmosphere.

Absorption efficiency depends directly on the condition of the lime and the tightness of the canister.

2. Breakdown of the items

2.1. 1407-7004-000 — soda lime canister

PN: 1407-7004-000

Category: soda lime canister.

  • •A container into which granular soda lime is poured.
  • •Installed in a GE (Datex Ohmeda) anesthesia machine.
  • •Requires a serviceable lid and seals for tightness.

2.2. 2101113-001-S — soda lime canister lid

PN: 2101113-001-S

Category: canister lid.

  • •Provides tightness and retention of the canister.
  • •Replaced when the seal is damaged or tightness is lost.
  • •Compatible with the corresponding canister of the system.

3. When to change the lime and the components

  • •Lime — when the indicator colour changes and/or CO₂ rises (exhaustion).
  • •Canister/lid — in case of cracks, wear, loss of tightness, damaged retention.

Check the system at every scheduled service and whenever there are signs of leakage.

4. Signs of a fault

  • •Gas leakage around the canister (compromised lid seal).
  • •Difficulty installing/retaining the canister.
  • •Inefficient CO₂ absorption (rising EtCO₂ with fresh lime).
  • •Damage to the canister body or the lid seal.

5. How to replace the lid/canister

  1. Make sure there is no pressure in the circuit.
  2. Remove the old canister/lid.
  3. Check the seals on the new part.
  4. Install it and secure it until it clicks.
  5. Check tightness with the flow switched on.

6. Compatibility table

Exact compatibility depends on the machine model. Before ordering, send the device model to the engineer.

7. Common mistakes

  • •Using a damaged lid. Loss of tightness and gas leakage.
  • •Ignoring lime exhaustion. Rising CO₂, risk of hypercapnia.
  • •Ordering without checking compatibility. Canisters/lids are tied to the model.
  • •Incorrect installation. Incomplete retention → leakage.

8. Delivery and procurement

Medicaparts supplies original GE anesthesia system components to Russia and the CIS:

  • •Lead time is confirmed when the order is confirmed.
  • •Rare items: lead time is confirmed when the order is confirmed.
  • •Help with selection by model and PN.
  • •Provision of accompanying documentation.

9. How to order

  1. Write to Telegram @GEpartsV_bot or email [email protected].
  2. State the machine model and the required PN (1407-7004-000 / 2101113-001-S).
  3. The engineer will confirm compatibility and issue a quotation.
  4. Contract/invoice, prepayment, delivery.

Frequently asked questions

What role do the canister (1407-7004-000) and its lid (2101113-001-S) play in an anesthesia machine?
The soda lime canister is a component of the semi-closed breathing circuit that absorbs carbon dioxide from the exhaled mixture. The lid provides a tight seal and correct seating of the canister. A serviceable canister and lid are the key to correct CO₂ absorption.
When should the lime canister or its lid be replaced?
The soda lime inside the canister is changed when the indicator colour changes (the absorbent is exhausted). The canister/lid itself is replaced in case of mechanical wear, cracks, loss of tightness or damaged retention. Check the seals.
What is the difference between the canister lid (2101113-001-S) and the canister (1407-7004-000)?
1407-7004-000 is the soda lime canister into which the absorbent is poured. 2101113-001-S is the canister lid, which provides tightness and retention. These are different components of the same assembly: the lid and the body.
How can I tell that the soda lime is exhausted?
Usually by the change in indicator colour (for example a shift to light pink/purple when exhausted), by a rise in CO₂ readings on the monitor, or by reduced absorption efficiency. Refer to the unit's instructions and the type of lime in use.
Where can I buy original lime canister components with delivery to Russia?
Medicaparts supplies original GE soda lime canisters and lids (1407-7004-000, 2101113-001-S) to Russia and the CIS, lead time confirmed when the order is placed. Contact us via Telegram @GEpartsV_bot.
