To the Editor: We would like to report a potential problem with the filler cap on the sevoflurane vaporizers. The vaporizers on the Ohmeda and North American Drager anesthesia machines are distinctly different except for the fill assembly which has a similar filler cap (Figure). Penlon Ltd. apparently designed and manufactures the agent specific, fill-port assembly for both style vaporizers.
