Vet Equip Corp RC2 Rodent Circuit Controller Anesthesia System

The Vet Equip Corp RC2 Rodent Circuit Controller Anesthesia System maintains an accurate flow rate to any circuit, unlike stopcock or gang-valve delivery systems. The short, easy-to-follow protocol requires no calculations and no flowmeter adjustments. Six individual connections allow any combination of connections to breathing circuits and chambers. Specific gas flow is provided to each animal, regardless of the number of circuits or the length of the tubing. Lower preset flows create less waste gases, resulting in lower trace exposure to the user. The system can be placed on a countertop, mounted on a wall, or installed on a cart to make the system mobile.

Features:

• All oxygen flowrates are independently preset:
  • 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
• Circuits 1, 2, 3, and 4 preset to ½ lpm:
  • 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:
  • Faster inductions, chamber saturation takes only 1 or 2 minutes
  • Flushing saturated chambers complies with OSHA waste gas recommendations
