Using the O Flush Button The O flush button is required if the animal requires an emergency oxygen supply during anesthesia. To use it, follow the following steps: 1) Set the vaporizer dial to "0", unplug the breathing circuit port from the animal's mask or endotracheal intubation, and attach it to the port plug of the main unit to close it. -
Page 24: Adjusting The Maximum Pressure Limit In The Breathing Circuit
It is advised to supply anesthesia gas to animals exceeding 7 kg. The user only needs to switch the circuit switch to the rebreathing position (RB). When using a rebreathing circuit, it is essential not to close the adjustable pressure limiting (APL) valve, otherwise, this may cause lung injury or death to the animal. -
