R550 Multi-output Anesthesia Machine

The R550 Multi-output Anesthesia Machine is the most advanced system of RWD and offers highly efficient, precise gas flow that is easy to use.

• Accommodates animals ranging in size from neonate mice to rabbits.
• Six outputs supply anesthesia to the induction chamber and up to five masks.
• Incorporates two flowmeters: one controls the vaporizer (0-4000 cc/min) and the other one controls the induction chamber (0-2500 cc/min).
• Allows investigator flexibility in designing protocols without calculations.
• Each output (mask) is individually controlled with simple ON/OFF toggle switch.
• Pushbutton oxygen flush purges induction chamber before removing animals.
• Carry handle facilitates safe, easy transport of the unit.
• Available in both table top and wall mount, and optional post mount with 5-leg spider base.

Features:

• The built-in temperature compensator ensures the stable concentration of anesthetic gas at different temperatures and flow rates, the flow range is 0.2-10L/min;
• Mixed anesthetic gas output pressure range △P ≤ 2.5kPa;
• Applicable temperature range: 10-35 ℃;
• Good tightness, internal 50 kPa pressure can be maintained, zero leakage, safe and reliable;
• Internal capacity is not less than 120 ml, and the range of isoflurane vaporizer concentration is 0-5 % (Sevoflurane: 0-8 %);
• Anti-accident open lock structure and closed state security protection structure to ensure safety;
• The built-in temperature compensator ensures the stable concentration of anesthetic gas at different temperatures and flow rates, the flow range is 0.2-10 L/min;
• Anti-accident open lock structure and closed state security protection structure to ensure safety

Note: Manifold with 4 L PM O₂ flowmeter vaporizers, Inlet/Outlet End Caps, are included in the R550 series anesthesia machine.

About RWD Anesthesia

RWD Life Science has been always dedicated to study and provide perfect and competitive inhalation anesthesia systems that have great practical value to the life science research community. Multiple complete solutions to different procedures in mice, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, monkey, pig etc. have been set up, which has remarkable and even exclusive advantages over existing system, for example:

1. Precise and stable control of anesthetic agents output regardless of environmental changes like pressure, temperature and air flow within the specific limits.
2. The miniaturized design like anesthesia machines and scavenging system helps to improve laboratory space utilization.
3. Unique Stereotaxic Frame Nosecone Masks and Cone Masks with tiny sizes satisfy more delicate surgeries like craniocerebral and ophthalmological surgery, and at the same time minimize harmful exposure to the research subjects while connecting to evacuation system.
4. The latest-designed waste gas evacuation system with weighing (Cat No.R546W) brings research subjects great convenience.
5. Higher performance to price ratio helps research subjects to reduce their expense while maintaining successful research.
6. High absorption efficiency of activated charcoal filter canister (Cat No.R510-31 & R510-31S).

Advantages of Inhalation Anesthesia:

1. Can offer an improved level of control over depth and duration of anesthesia, especially for prolonged procedures.
2. To be relatively insoluble and faster elimination in blood enables rapid recovery.
3. Be of rapid onset and offset with minimal side effects.
4. Have little or no toxic effects thanks to non-metabolism characteristic of sevoflurane and isoflurane.
5. Be more safer and efficient performance to reduce morbidity rates and increase the chance for successful outcomes.
