Connection to Animal
A “Y” connection should be inserted between the tracheal cannula and the two tubes
coming from the pump.
Dead space is minimized if the “Y” is as close to the trachea as possible. See Figure 5
“Valve Connection to Animal”.
Expired air can be recovered via the exhaust tube for sampling, partial recycling, etc.,
see Figure 5 “Valve Connection to Animal”.

5.1 Electrical
To inspect and/or replace the fuses,
disconnect the mains cable first!
Insert a minia-
ture screwdriver in the slot indentation, see paragraph 3.3-Fuse Holder, and snap out the
slide which houses the fuses. We recommend 800mA timed fuses, type T800.
After replacing the fuses, snap in the fuse slide: the mechanical “click” ensures that it is
locked.
