In order to keep a patient from being administered an incorrect anaesthetic, an erroneous concentration of an anaesthetic or a mixture of anaesthetics, an anaesthetic system can be equipped with a device for identifying anaesthetics in anaesthetic system. The device identifies anaesthetics by determining a parameter related to a physical property, such as density, of liquid anaesthetics. A floating body can be immersed in the anaesthetic fluid. The floating body then sinks to a depth which depends on the fluid's density. The identity of the anaesthetic can then be read off a measurement stick arranged on the floating body.

[ I claim as my invention:] [1.] A device for use with an anaesthetic system for identifying at least one anaesthetic, said device comprising:a container fillable with an anaesthetic in liquid form; and measurement means for interacting with said liquid anaesthetic for identifying at least one parameter related to at least one physical property of said liquid anaesthetic selected from the group of physical properties comprising density, thermal conductivity and thermal absorption for identifying said liquid anaesthetic from said at least one parameter.
