- Key fill isoflurane vaporizer is available separately or may be substituted in a complete system (Call for details)
EZ-7000 Classic Anesthesia System
The Classic System has a user-friendly flow meter. The system offers five gas outlets that can supply a single induction chamber and four breather circuits simultaneously.
The system also features an oxygen flush button that purges the induction chamber with pure oxygen, thereby protecting personnel from exposure to anesthesia gas when opening the chamber. A handle on the vaporizer makes the unit easy to safely transport.
Laboratory safety with anesthesia systems
The safety of laboratory personnel is of primary importance. So, WPI’s anesthesia system offers a choice of three breathing devices, all with a patented valve that mitigates the gas flow to the snugly-fitted nosecone. A highly sensitive valve regulated by the animal’s breathing works with the nosecone to ensure non-rebreathing efficiency and allow safe anesthesia for up to 12 hours.
In addition, an activated charcoal air filter canister at the top of the induction chamber releases safe, filtered, exhaust air back into the room. The EZ-FF9000 even includes a push button oxygen flush to safely eliminate the isofluorane from the induction chamber before you open it. This is the system of choice for anesthetizing small animals. Animals to be anesthetized are placed into the acrylic induction chamber, and the system delivers a precisely blended mixture of oxygen and isoflurane. A water-heated cage warmer or warming plate (ATC2000) is used to retain the animal body temperature while in the induction chamber. After the initial anesthetizing, the animal can be moved to the heated surgical water bed and positioned in the nosecone.
The Classic System is the upgraded version of the original Anesthesia System that has been used effectively for more than ten years in hundreds of facilities.
• Accommodates animals ranging in size from neonate mice to rabbits
• Five outputs supply anesthesia to the induction chamber and up to four breathers
• New flowmeter configuration is more user-friendly
• Incorporates two flowmeters:
Flowmeter 1) Controls flow into the vaporizer
Flowmeter 2) Controls flow into the induction chamber
• The second flowmeter allows users to run the chamber and breathers simultaneously
• Pushbutton oxygen flush purges induction chamber before removing animals
• Carry handle facilitates safe, easy transport of the unit
