I. Principle of Operation: A. The MDS is designed specifically for use with rodents using one or more induction chambers and one or more non-rebreathing (NRB) systems. The MDS guarantees the proper flow rate to individual inhalant anesthesia stations on one vaporizer. This is accomplished by having a secondary set of flow meters, from 2 to 6, that are placed after the primary flow meter and after the vaporizer. B. One of the basic physical laws of inhalant anesthesia systems is that the gases will follow the path of least resistance. What we find with most simple “on / off” type stopcocks controlling...

E. There is a safety valve included with the MDS system that is installed on the primary flow meter. This automatic safety pressure relief valve opens at 6 PSI and releases pure oxygen (not anesthetic) into the workplace. This prevents any damage to the vaporizer and ancillary instrumentation. The safety relief valve is an integral part of the MDS system and can be installed on almost any inhalant anesthesia system. There is no danger what so ever with O2 being released into the environment. F. As an added benefit, the MDS system is color coded. This means that each fresh gas secondary flow meter,...
