How to build your system

A complete rodent anesthesia system requires: (1) oxygen tank regulator, (2) oxygen hose, (3) agent specific vaporizer and stand, (4) manifold, (5) induction chamber, (6) nose cone(s) and (7) scavenging for Waste Anesthetic Gases, WAG.

Note: An oxygen regulator may not be required if oxygen is piped through the wall.

Viking Medicals system is extremely versatile and designed to work with passive or active scavenging.

Passive Scavenging: Positive pressure driven from oxygen source.

Active Scavenging: Vacuum driven.

Step 1: Choose Regulator

(Oxygen E or H sized tank)

Step 2: Choose O₂ Hosing

(8 ft. length standard)

Step 3: Choose Vaporizer

(Isoflurane or Sevoflurane)

Step 4: Choose Manifold

(One induction chamber and one nose cone would require an M-4)

Step 5: Choose Induction Chamber

(IC6X4 or IC8X8)

Step 6: Choose # of Nose Cones

(Chose 1-3 for appropriate rodent)
**The induction chamber and nose cone quantities should match your manifold configuration**

Step 7: Choose Scavenging

(Active or Passive)
