A new orientation allows for minimal system dead space and thus more precise tidal volume delivery to the animal NOTE: In any correspondence, please refer to the ventilator as “MODEL 683 with LED RATE READ-OUT” The MODEL 683 is a positive volume ventilator intended to meet the respiratory requirements of small laboratory animals weighing up to 5 kg (11 lb), covering rodents through rabbits.
V V o o l l t t a a g g e e S S e e l l e e c c t t i i o o n n The ‘683’ Ventilator is equipped with a 115/230V selector feature, which is incorporat- ed into the power entry module located on the side of the unit (see figure below).
• Intubation cannula with y adapter A selection of trachael cannula and endotracheal tubes are listed in the Harvard Apparatus Catalog and on our website www.harvardapparatus.com. It is important that the volume of tubing shared by inspired and expired air (dead space) be kept to a minimum by having the “Y” or “T”...
Operating the Pump (Cont’d) Ventilator Graph Tidal Volume vs. Weight & Rate for Laboratory Mammals in Resting State. (Apparatus dead space must be added) Selection of Rate and Volume Refer to the Ventilator Graph (above) to select the appropriate tidal volume and respiration rate as a function of animal body weight.
Ventilator takes in air/gas intermittently. Some sort of buffer/expansion chamber must be provided between the tank and the Ventilator. Harvard Apparatus offers a connection kit (73-3076) to depressurize the gas prior to entering the ventilator. This Ventilator is not designed to take air/gas inputs under pressure.
L L u u b b r r i i c c a a t t i i o o n n This Model 683 Ventilator is shipped with the appropriate grease to lubricate the piston and O-rings in the cylinders and the inside of the slide valve Publication 5375-001-REV-F Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...
For ease of mounting, there is an alignment bracket located below the valve body. When re- attaching a valve to the 683 Ventilator, the cut-out in the valve should sit square and parallel with the corner of the alignment bracket. This should ensure that the valve and piston shaft are in line with each other.
Changing Piston and Cylinder (Cont’d) To remove the cylinder and piston Set the Ventilator volume to maximum. Run Ventilator at lowest speed and stop when the helical coupling is exposed. Using a 0.050 Allen wrench (provided), disconnect the white piston from the coupling, leaving the coupling on the piston shaft.
