POSI-VAC NRB SYSTEM ? Product Insert

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Posi-Vac Non-Rebreathing (NRB) System is designed for use with in-house vacuum systems to manage waste anesthetic gases during veterinary procedures. It is specifically tailored for small animals such as mice and rats.

Specifications:

The system connects to a ¼” ID purple waste anesthetic gas tubing.
Vacuum is applied between the Posi-Vac nosecone and shroud, adjusted to a 15 LPM negative flow rate.
Fresh gas is supplied via an orange ¼” I.D. tubing connected to the anesthesia machine.

Procedures:

Position the animal's nose into the Posi-Vac nosecone without sealing it tightly to ensure proper breathing of fresh anesthetic gas and oxygen.
The vacuum draws in room air and waste anesthetic gases around the animal's muzzle into the space between the nosecone and shroud.
Waste gases are expelled outside the building or into an activated charcoal filter.

Caution: Do not seal the animal’s muzzle against the nosecone. Ensure there is enough space for anesthetic gases to flow around the muzzle into the waste gas vacuum management system.

Product Variants:

AS-01-0502: Posi-Vac mouse/rat NRB system.
AS-01-0510: Posi-Vac large rat NRB system.

Catalog excerpts

POSI-VAC NON REBREATHING SYSTEM 1. The in-house vacuum is applied (connected) to the ¼” ID purple waste anesthetic gas tubing of the Posi-Vac NRB system. The negative pressure (vacuum) is applied to the area between the Posi-Vac nosecone and the Posi-Vac shroud. The vacuum is adjusted to 15 LPM negative flow rate (see Vapor-Vac for device to attenuate in-house vacuum). 2. The animal’s nose (muzzle) is approximated into the Posi-Vac nosecone. Caution: The animal’s muzzle should not be tightly sealed in the Posi-Vac nosecone. The animal’s nose needs only to be approximated in the Posi-Vac nosecone such that the animal can breathe fresh anesthetic gas and oxygen. 2. The in-house vacuum draws in room air at the same time that the waste anesthetic gases are drawn around the animal’s muzzle and into the space between the Posi-Vac nosecone and the Posi-Vac shroud. 4. The waste anesthetic gases are discarded to the outside of the building and into the atmosphere and/or into an activated charcoal filter. 5. Fresh gas is supplied via the orange ¼” I.D. tubing that connects to the anesthesia machine. CAUTION: DO NOT SEAL THE ANIMAL’S MUZZLE AGAINST THE POSI-VAC NOSE CONE. THE ANIMAL’S MUZZLE NEEDS TO BE APPROXIMATED INTO THE NOSE CONE WITH ENOUGH SPACE AROUND THE MUZZLE TO ALLOW THE ANESTHETIC GASES TO FLOW AROUND THE ANIMAL’S MUZZLE AND INTO THE WASTE GAS VACUUM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
