Ventilators Selection Guide

How to Select Your Ventilator

1   In order to choose the proper ventilation product you must first decide on the
mode of ventilation control required:
   
     
Volume Regulation
Constant Pressure Regulation
Both
Go to question 2
Go to question 2
     
2   You must know the specie or species you want to ventilate (select all that apply).
Once selected, go to 2a or 2b
   
Perinatal Mice, Small Bird / Rat, Guinea Pig* / Rabbit, Cat / Dog
     
2a   If you want Volume Regulation Mode you must calculate the tidal volume
and respiratory rate in order to choose the correct ventilator. Use the following formula
for mammals. After calculating, locate appropriate species, tidal volume and
respiratory rate in the chart below. Go to the pages indicated for more information or
call Technical Support at 800-272-2775 US or visit our web site for the nearest dealer.
   
   
Tidal Volume
Respiration Rate
     
2b   If you want Constant Pressure Mode, look at the chartbelow and compare Inspira
to the HSE KTR and select the appropriate animal weight under the correct species.
Go to the pages indicated for more information or call Technical Support
at 800-272-2775 US.
    To ventilate more than one rat or guinea pig simultaneously,
see the Multiple Channel Ventilator for Large Rodents.
