METHOD FOR WASHING OF SEVOFLURAN STORAGE CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR STORAGE OF SEVOFLURAN

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for the efficient washing of a used "sevoflurane storage container" without the use of expensive sevoflurane as a wash liquid. This object is achieved by use of the washing method comprising the steps of: creating a state wherein at least sevoflurane vapor is present in the storage container (step A); placing a "water-containing liquid as the main component" in contact with the inner wall of the sevoflurane storage vessel in the state in which sevoflurane vapor is present in the storage vessel and discharging the liquid to the outside of the storage container while the liquid remains liquid after step A (step B); and introducing a drying gas into the storage vessel so as to discharge the liquid remaining on the inner wall of the storage vessel outside the storage vessel, together with the drying gas after step B (step C).
