1 - IV Access Ports
Four IV access ports (Figures 3 and 4), two for each half-compart-
ment, are provided to allow you to change the IV supply without
opening the compartment or disturbing the animal. These ports can
also be used for lines to electronic monitoring equipment.
2 - Removable
Divider Panels
Two removable divider panels (Figures 3 and 5) are supplied with
the unit: a clear acrylic divider, and a wire grill divider. Only one can
be installed at a time. The dividers are easily installed and removed,
and, when installed, split the compartment into two half-compart-
ments. The two half-compartments have individually-controlled
floor heaters, however, they share the same oxygen supply, heating,
and cooling.
The only purpose of the clear acrylic divider is to reduce the size of
the compartment to minimize oxygen usage.
Always use the wire
grill divider if animals are present in both compartments.
WARNING: Never place an animal in the left
compartment if the clear acrylic divider is being used.
This divider creates an effective seal, and prevents
the flow of air into the left compartment. If this divider
is in place, an animal in this compartment can easily
suffocate.
