摘要： Systems and methods are provided for detecting unacceptable accelerations by an anesthetic vaporizer, such as due to drops and mishandling. In one embodiment, a method for an anesthetic vaporizer comprises determining a quantitative acceleration of the anesthetic vaporizer based on acceleration vectors measured by an accelerometer coupled within the anesthetic vaporizer, and outputting an alert responsive to the quantitative acceleration exceeding an acceleration threshold. In this way, drop-related degradation may be identified in a timely fashion.
