[Ref: Ajay Yadav Sth/e p. 70-87; Morgan Sth/e p. 163-70]
"In June 1995' the Food and Drug Administration (FDAI approved the clinical use of sevoflurane. but with a warning that not sued at fresh gas flows less than 2 l/min because sufficient data had not been presented to establish its safety in that circumstance.
The FDA was concerned that sevoflurane may cause adverse renal effects at low flows because it is degraded by the strong bases in CO2 absorbents to fluoromethyl-2,2-difluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl) vinyl ether (compound A).
