To assemble the induction chamber breathing circuit:
Insert one branch of the Y-tube into the
1.
induction chamber port you have chosen to
receive the anesthesia. It doesn't matter which
port you choose, left or right. Likely you will
want to choose the port that is closest to the
vaporizer system.
Insert a length of semi-transparent
2.
flexhose over the second induction chamber
port. This will serve as the waste gas
evacuation port.
Insert one of the charcoal filters into the
3.
flexhose.
To assemble the mouse mask breathing circuit
Insert one branch of the Y-tube into the 15mm (larger) end of the
1.
15x6mm adapter.
Insert the anesthesia line of the mouse mask into the 6mm (smaller)
2.
end of the 15x6mm adapter.
Insert the blue flexhose of the mouse mask into the 19mm (smaller)
3.
end of the 19x22mm adapter.
Insert the second charcoal filter into the 22mm (larger) end of the
4.
19x22mm adapter.
The delivery sub-system is now assembled.
The vaporizer sub-system arrives fully assembled. Now that you have
assembled the delivery sub-system, you need to connect the two sub-
systems.
The connection procedure takes about five seconds.
To connect the delivery sub-system to the vaporizer sub-system:
Insert the Y-tube's blue connector into the vaporizer sub-system's
1.
common outlet. This is a friction fit connection.
In the table-top configuration, the common outlet is located at the tip of the delivery tube.
Use as short a length of
flexhose as is convenient. If
you need to cut the supplied
flexhose to length, cut in the
centre of the connection area,
as shown above, to ensure a
proper connection fit.
