If ventilating using an anesthetic gas vaporizer or compressed gas source: 1. Connect the Bypass Assembly to the rear ports of the PhysioSuite. Note: The PhysioSuite RoVent is designed to operate with the ports at neutral pressure. The Bypass Assembly is required to neutralize any pressure buildup in the rear tubing. -
Page 11: Initial Set-Up
1. Measure Deadspace The Deadspace calibration will measure the volume of tubing between the PhysioSuite RoVent module and the animal. It is important that the Deadspace is recalibrated every time the tubing configuration is changed to maintain accurate tidal volume delivery. -
Page 12: Configure Settings
The first time the RoVent is used, or any time the accessories have changed, be sure to perform a Deadspace Calibration and verify the ventilator settings. Note: Never perform these functions when an animal is connected to the ventilator. 2. Zero Sensors Zeroing the sensors ensures that the internal pressure and flow sensors are working properly, and calibrates them prior to the ventilation. - Page 13 The Vent Setup also allows you to make advanced ventilation settings: • PEEP: Automatically add a positive end-expiratory pressure. o Choose between 0cmH2O and 9cmH2O. o Used to prevent alveolar collapse during open-chest procedures. • Sigh Breath: Automatically add an intermittent breath with a larger tidal volume. o Choose frequency and tidal volume of sigh breaths.

Page 19: Procedure For Use
Procedure for Use 1) Anesthetize the animal and place on the RightTemp warming pad. Tip: Kent Scientific recommends the use of inhalant anesthetics. Injectable anesthetic agents have a greater effect on circulation, making pulse oximetry challenging. Always warm the animal to support circulation in the animal’s extremities. -
