Inhalation Anesthesia Information First Time Buyer’s Guide If this is the first inhalation anesthesia system you’ve purchased for your facility, we invite you to begin/enhance/complete your anesthesia equipment research with this “What you need and don’t need” information. 1. If you are only working with rats, mice, cats, ferrets and other like sized creatures, you do NOT need a CO2 Absorber (a.k.a. rebreathing head, SodaSorb container) on your anesthesia machine. 2. You need a “carrier gas” supply. This gas, usually oxygen or medical air, carries the anesthetic vapor into the patient’s lungs...

Anesthesia Machine This term includes the frame, yoke(s), flowmeter(s), vaporizer(s), oxygen flush assembly and all hoses and connections. Regulator(s) The regulator(s) are responsible for reducing the supply tank pressure to specified levels. Oxygen Flush Assembly The flush assembly is responsible for purging all waste gas from the induction chamber. Vaporizer The vaporizer is responsible for changing the liquid agent to a vapor which the patient can inhale. It then delivers the vapor into the moving steam of oxygen in controllable amounts. Reconditioned Vaporizer In human medicine, a vaporizer...

Inhalation Anesthesia Information VetEquip Anesthesia Book The “Need To Know” book. Have you wondered what a “MAC” value is? How is it determined and what factors affect it? Is your anesthesia machine going through more isoflurane than you think it should? How much should it be using? What is the OSHA recommendation for anesthesia waste gas? Do you need an MSDS for isoflurane on file? How about one for the activated carbon in that disposable canister? Did you know you can keep that little nosecone in position with a piece of dental floss? Are you keeping track of how much waste gas you’re exposed...

This 45 minute DVD is an excellent training film. Created by VetEquip in cooperation with Columbia University Center for Biomedical Communication with oversight by a representative of the AALAS On Line Learning Center. It qualifies the viewer for one unit of AALAS CE. Every component of a traditional anesthesia machine is described with clear instructions on how and why it is necessary. A basic rat anesthesia protocol is followed step by step. Special attention is given to waste gas control throughout. The DVD is included with every VetEquip Anesthesia Book, or can be purchased separately. Inhalation...

Complete Anesthesia Systems The VetEquip COMPAC5 A revolutionary anesthesia system that combines the best features of every VetEquip system! The COMPAC5 has two independent breathing circuits and one to three independent vented induction chambers. • All circuits, chamber or breathing, are independent of each other • All circuits have a “flip-switch” choice of 1⁄2 LPM, 1 LPM or OFF • Chambers are heated with standard warm water pump • All chambers and circuits are vented; no pollution, no chamber flushing • Set it on a counter top, carry it to the next room, tuck it in a cupboard, it’s 13” x 13”...

Combine the safety of the new COMPAC5 with the convenience of complete portability. Exhaust cabinet and 4-wheeled, counterbalanced leg assembly, combined to create a mobile platform for your COMPAC5. Smooth rolling double-wheeled castors allow you to move your unit to any procedure room in your facility. Available as a standard cabinet base or with fold-down shelf surfaces on each side of unit for the ultimate worstation. Add a single, dual, or triple O2 yoke assembly (see pg. 14) to make full use of the mobile units’ capabilities. Cabinet also doubles as storage unit for frequently needed items....

Complete Anesthesia Systems RC2 - Rodent Circuit Controller All oxygen flowrates are independently preset: Circuits 1, 2, 3, and 4 preset to 1⁄2 lpm: • Any combination of circuits can be used without readjusting oxygen flows • All circuits are unaffected by the resistance occurring in split lines • Any combination of non-rebreathing circuit styles can be used • Any circuit length or combination of lengths can be used • Sufficient oxygen without excessive waste • Oxygen flows cannot be set too high causing leaks around nosecones or facemasks Circuits 5 and 6 preset to 1 lpm with Oxygen Flush Assemblies:...

• Designed specifically for high volumes of procedures • 2 Breathing Circuits and 4 Induction Chambers allow investigator flexibility in designing custom “assembly line” protocols • Each of the 6 circuits is equipped with a simple “ON-OFF-FLUSH” switch to reduce operator errors and speed procedures • Separate O2 and CO2 flowmeters and chamber make euthanasia, O2 assisted recovery and O2 / CO2 anesthesia accessible and precise • Line pressure gauges create constant easy oversight of in-house gas supply • Single waste gas port and tube for less counter top clutter Complete Anesthesia Systems IMPAC6...
