CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS, WARNINGS, AND NOTES
The F-Circuit is a rebreathing circuit for use
with animals that weigh approximately 15 lbs. (7kg) or more.
The Non-rebreathing Circuit is a circuit for use
with animals that weigh approximately 15 lbs. (7kg) or less.
WARNINGS
uOperator must read entire manual prior to operation and have proper training in
the use of inhalant anesthetic equipment. Failure to do so may harm the animal.
uDo not connect unregulated compressed carrier gas to the Top Line Anesthesia
System. Compressed oxygen, or another carrier gas, should be supplied at 50-55 psi.
uPop-off (APL) valve is closed for shipping. Completely open the pop-off valve prior to
use. The pop-off valve should be kept open during normal operation and only closed
when performing a leak check or using a ventilator.
uAs a patient safety feature, the oxygen ush will not work with a non-rebreathing circuit.
The oxygen ush is only piped to the rebreathing absorber.
uAlways operate inhalant anesthetic equipment with waste gas scavenging systems.
Failure to control waste anesthetic gas may cause harmful exposure to personnel.
uWhen using the oxygen concentrator, turn the anesthesia machine owmeter on to
allow ow. The concentrator alarm will sound if this step is not followed.
NOTE
uWhen using the oxygen concentrator with the J0558X model, the oxygen ush will not
operate without the E-cylinder turned on. The oxygen ush is piped to the e-cylinder
only.
uWhen using the oxygen concentrator, turn the concentrator ow to match the owrate
on the anesthesia machine.
uDo not overtighten the owmeter knob. When the oat is resting at the bottom of the
owmeter, the owmeter is off. Overtightening will damage the needle valve and result
in leakage.
uAnesthetic Vaporizer and carrier gas (oxygen) accessories are not included. Please
follow the installation guides for these products.
