Manifold - Anesthesia Setup
for Non-Rebreathing System for Animals < 4.5 kg (10 lbs)

Below are listed the necessary components to create a complete manifold non-rebreathing
anesthesia system. The mobile system is detailed out completely. For the table top system,
some of the information is the same as the mobile system, so it will refer you back to the
mobile system for completed details.

Why Use an Anesthetic Manifold?

Manifolds allow the use of both an anesthetizing box and a mask. It permits the research to direct
the flow of gas to where they need it. The anesthetizing box can be used to initially anesthetize
the animal and then the mask can maintain the anesthetized state during procedures. Also, manifolds
can be used to anesthetize multiple animals simultaneously, although this is not advised.

PLEASE NOTE, with a manifold, the amount of agent flowing into each port cannot be controlled
for individual control.

Mask Only - Anesthesia Setup
for Non-Rebreathing System for Animals < 4.5 kg (10 lbs)

Below are listed the necessary components to create a complete mask only non-rebreathing
anesthesia system. The mobile system is detailed out completely. For the table top system,
some of the information is the same as the mobile system, so it will refer you back to the
mobile system for completed details.
