Complete small animal anesthesia system and all the accessories

Features & Benefits

  • Ideal for work with multiple animals and unique configurations
  • Precise, low flow gas saves money and protects personnel
  • Flow rates are set specifically for mice and rats
  • Five outputs supply anesthesia to the induction chamber and up to four breathers
  • Preset flow rates eliminate the need for flow meters and manual adjustments
  • Protocols are easily followed without calculations
  • Flow rate is not impacted by the type or the number of accessories connected
  • Minimal opportunity for operator error
  • Each output is individually controlled with a simple on/off switch
  • Pushbutton oxygen flush purges induction chamber before removing animals
  • Carry handle facilitates safe, easy transport of the unit

Applications

  • Small animal surgery

Overview

The Fixed Flow System is ant advanced anesthesia system and provides preset, fixed flow rates with no need for adjustment. The system offers five gas outlets, each with an individual ON/OFF switch. The system ensures consistent, precise gas flow when connected to any pressurized gas source higher than 7 psi.

  • Induction Chamber output is fixed at 1 LPM
  • Four Breathing Circuit outputs are fixed at 0.5 LPM

This unit features an oxygen flush button that purges the induction chamber with pure oxygen, thereby protecting personnel from exposure to anesthesia gas when opening the chamber. A handle on the vaporizer makes the unit easy to safely transport.

EZ Anesthesia is the system of choice for anesthetizing small animals, and it comes with a variety of choices. Animals to be anesthetized are placed in the acrylic induction chamber, and the system delivers a precisely blended mixture of oxygen and isoflurane. An activated charcoal air filter canister at the top of the chamber releases safe, filtered air back into the room. A water-heated cage warmer or warming plate (ATC2000) is used to retain the animal body temperature while in the induction chamber. After the initial anesthetizing, the animal may be moved to the heated surgical water bed and positioned properly in the snugly fitted nose cone. A highly sensitive valve regulated by the animal’s breathing works with the nose cone to ensure non-rebreathing efficiency. It allows safe anesthesia for up to several hours.

The breathing device also includes an air filter that releases safe, filtered air back into the room.

Oxygen and liquid isoflurane are not supplied. These are required to operate the system. Each system comes with all necessary components and connections for immediate use, including:

  • EZ-190AF Auto-Flow Vaporizer Unit with a TEC 3 Isoflurane Key Filled Vaporizer and  consistent, precise gas flow to each of the five outlets.
  • 2 x EZ-103A Microflex Mouse/Rat Non-Rebreathing Device is designed for neonates to animals weighing up to 500 g.
  • 1 x EZ-178 Mouse/Rat Sure-Seal Induction Chamber (chamber dimensions 23 cm L x 10 cm W x 10 cm H)
  • EZ-258 Charcoal Filters (case of 8 filters)
  • Also includes mouse/rat nosecones, nosecone plugs, plastic surgery beds (2) and all connecting tubes

Note: Oxygen and liquid isoflurane are not supplied. These are required to operate the system.
