Animal Respirator "Compact"
 |
- The TSE Animal Respirator "Compact" is specially designed for the respiration of small
laboratory animals such as mice and young rats
- Technical performance for extra small flows - exact dosing of small amounts of respiration gas
- With one flowmeter to connect the supply for the respiration gas
- Working principle: according to intermittent positive pressure ventilation - the ratio between
the inspiration phase and the expiration phase is freely selectable
- Operation in the constant flow and constant pressure modes
- Setting of a maximum tracheal pressure to protect against excessive pressure
|
The individual adjustment of ventilation parameters - breathing frequency, inspiration length, plateau
length - and pressure parameters such as EIP value (end-inspiratory pressure), EIP Limit (maximal
trachea pressure during inspiration), etc. is possible. An MRI non-magnetic valve set is available as
an additional feature for the respirators.
Additional mixing of respiration and anesthetic gases can be provided by an external gas mixing
station.
See also Vaporizers and Gas Mixing Station.

Animal Respirator "Advanced"

|
- The TSE Animal Respirator "Advanced" is a modern and versatile system for the respiration of a
wide range of laboratory animals - mice up to dogs
- With two flow controllers to admit two different respiration gases e.g. air and oxygen
- Working principle: according to intermittent positive pressure ventilation - the ratio between
the inspiration phase and the expiration phase is freely selectable
- Operation in the constant flow and constant pressure modes
- Setting of a maximum tracheal pressure to protect against excessive pressure
|
The individual adjustment of ventilation parameters - breathing frequency, inspiration length, plateau
length - and pressure parameters such as EIP value (end-inspiratory pressure), EIP Limit (maximal
trachea pressure during inspiration), etc. is possible. An MRI non-magnetic valve set is available as
an additional feature for the respirators.
Additional mixing of respiration and aesthetic gases can be provided by an external gas mixing
station.

Mixing Station.

O2 / CO2 Measuring Unit

|
- O2 and / or CO2 measuring unit for determination of the O2 /
CO2 concentration in the expiration air
- O2 sensor made of two zirconium-stabilized electrodes
- CO2 sensor using the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensing method
- Connectable to the expiration output of the respirator
|

Respiration Pumps

|
- Microprocessor-controlled respiration pumps acc. to the Starling ventilation method
- Automatic respiration of all laboratory animals from mice up to large dogs/ pigs
- Variable and continuous adjustment of stroke frequency
(0…100 or 0…200 strokes / minute)
- Different models with different maximum stroke volumes
(0…10 ml up to 0…1000 ml)
- Adjustment of the stroke volume during operation is possible
|

Vaporizers and Gas Mixing Station

|
- Halothane & isoflurane vaporizers for "out of circuit" use in continuous flow techniques
for veterinary applications
- Concentration adjustment of the anesthetic for clinical applications independent of temperature
variations, alterations in the flow or duration of operation
- Additional mixing of respiration and anesthesia gases with the help of a gas mixing station
- Setting of the mixing ratio via mechanical flowmeters - fitted on a stable rack - and variation
of flows as required
- Flowmeters for oxygen, nitrous oxide and air as standard - other flowmeters on request
|
A gas mixing station and a vaporizer, in combination with a TSE Animal Respirator, can be used to form
a system for inhalation anesthesia.

Anesthesia Unit

|
- Controlled application of mixtures of anesthetic and air with the precision required to
successfully operate on animals weighing from 20 - 500 grams
- Very small, user- and animal-friendly unit which enables savings up to 75%
- Mixing of air and anesthetic in the vaporizer according to the settings and delivery into an
anesthetized box, through a mask or to a ventilator
- Pre-calibrated for isoflurane; other anesthetics may be used if their different properties are
taken into consideration
|

Anesthesia Machine

|
- Table-top small-animal anesthesia machine with flowmeter(s) for oxygen or nitrous oxide
- For connecting halothane or isoflurane vaporizers
- Adjustment of anesthetic concentration from 0.5% to 5.0% in 0.5% increments
- Large display to check the level of anesthetic
- Optional accessories include an Ayres non-rebreathing system and a closed-circuit rebreathing
system with CO2-absorption
