Operation: Getting Started
Entering Animal Weight
Key Information
•
The Inspira can handle animal weights ranging from 0.015 to 10.00 kilo-
grams.
•
The large cylinder can handle masses between 0.160 and 10.00 kilograms and
the small cylinder can handle masses between 0.015 and 0.59 kilograms.
•
Entering an animal’s weight will allow Inspira to automatically choose a Safe
Range
™
tidal volume and respiration rate. No extra setup is required.
To enter the animal’s weight, press the [Set] key. The display should now read “Press
parameter key”. Press the [Weight] key. The display will now read “Enter Weight (Kg)”.
Simply use the numeric keypad and decimal point key to enter the proper weight
(between 15 g and 10 kg). The weight must be entered in kilograms. Inspira will allow
for the entry of up to three decimal places. After entering the weight press the [Enter]
key. The display should read “Change SV and BPM” (stroke volume and breaths per
minute). Use the [Set] key to move the bar cursor to select either “yes” or “no”. Press
[Enter] to select your choice. Selecting yes will change the SV and BPM to the auto-
matically calculated Safe Range
™
ventilation settings. Selecting no will leave the pre-
viously used SV and BPM settings, which may not be safe for the animal.
