Mouse Ventilator – Volume Controlled Respirator

Background

• Assists or stimulates respiration in a subject which is not breathing, or is unable to make sufficient respiratory effort on its own.
• Mechanical ventilation is a method to assist or replace spontaneous breathing.
• For use with mice, perinatal rats and small birds. 

Highly accurate, quiet, with features for mice

• Highly accurate and reliable stroke rate for providing consistent volumes. Uses a variable speed geared motor (with no backlash) linked by a novel variable stroke mechanism. Volume is adjustable whether the pump is running or stationary. 
• Stroke rate (per minute) is indicated on the 3-digit LED display. 
• Connections and airflow specifically designed for mice. High frequency rate (up to 300 strokes/min) for mice under anesthesia.
• Highly accurate and reliable ventilators due to feedback controlled motor speed.
• Quiet operation. Electronic noise broadcasting is negligible and pumps are very quiet.
• Optimizes oxygenation by enabling close proximity of air supply to the animal. Respirator incorporates a flat surface for positioning an operating table (minimizes dead space).
• Can be equipped with 0.1to 1ml or 0.05 to 0.5ml cylinder/piston assembly for precision volume control.
• Can be "paused" by external imaging devices (using an external TTL logic signal). Optional feature.
• Select synchronized Start/Stop models for advanced electrophysiological-pharmacological investigations.
