Tip: The SomnoSuite will deliver at a preset flow rate of
500mL/min. Try manually increasing the flow rate to reduce
induction time.
From the Anest Run Screen, press and turn Dial A to adjust the
air flow.
5. Turn the Anesthesia Concentration Knob to the desired concentration for
induction. The concentration value appears on the screen as you adjust the knob.
6. When the animal is sufficiently anesthetized, touch Induction to stop the air flow.
7. If you want to flush the chamber, touch Flush.
The Flush function automatically flushes the chamber with
0% anesthetic for 5 seconds and stops automatically. The
Flush button will count down until the flush has ended. You
can repeat the Flush for larger induction chambers or you can
touch Setup > Flush Time to increase the flush.
8. When the flush ends, open the chamber and remove the animal. Immediately
intubate the animal and attach it to the intubation connector. Use clips to
direct airflow to the endotracheal tube only.
9. From the Anest Run Screen, touch Vent to open the RoVent Run Screen.
10. Touch Start Vent to begin ventilation.
CAUTION
Do not start the ventilator before the animal is intubated and
connected to the ventilator tubing.
11. Turn the Anesthesia Concentration Knob to the desired concentration.
SomnoSuite calculates the respiration rate and tidal volume
using the animal’s body weight. To change these settings, Use
Dial A and B to make quick changes. Touch Setup from the
Vent Run Screen to manually enter a Respiratory Rate, Target
Pressure, Tidal Volume, or other advanced settings.
