ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
Changing Operating Specifications
Default flow rates and times were chosen to comply with the latest guidelines of the AVMA
Panel on Euthanasia and through extensive testing performed by Euthanex. Flow rates and
times are programmable and may be changed by a designated administrator. Flow rates
and times are password protected for security.
The Charge stage delivers the CO2, humanely euthanizing the animals. After all gas has
been delivered, the Dwell stage allows the gas to remain in the chamber for a pre-set
amount of time, ensuring proper euthanasia.
CO2Time: This determines the amount of time “CO2” is to be delivered during the
euthanizing stage.
Dwell: After all gas has been delivered, the dwell stage allows the gas to remain in the
cage for a preset amount of time, ensuring proper euthanasia.
2nd CO2Time: This determines the amount of time “CO2” is to be delivered during the 2nd
Charge euthanizing stage.
2nd Dwell: After gas has been delivered for the 2nd Charge, the Dwell stage allows the gas
to remain in the cage for a preset amount of time, ensuring proper euthanasia.
Flow Rate: This is the calculate amount of gas to be delivered for the cage based on the fill
rate percentage. The gas flow rate is delivered in liters per minute (lpm).
