Transitioning Between Halothane and Isoflurane Using UAM Vaporizers

Gradian Health Systems is committed to ensuring the highest standards of anesthesia care. As providers transition away from halothane, as it’s no longer in production, we are focusing on the use of effective alternatives, such as isoflurane.

As we prepare to support healthcare facilities through this transition, Gradian has outlined safe steps to use the same UAM vaporizer to transition between halothane and isoflurane. In the document below, our guidelines emphasize the importance of using only one agent at a time and adhering to proper vaporizer drying procedures.

We are committed to providing comprehensive support to our partners during this transition. Gradian is offering trainings and resources to ensure healthcare providers are well-equipped to use the UAM effectively as halothane is phased out.
