1-Introduction
1.1 Overview
First of all, sincerely thanks for selecting the R640-S1 flexible veterinary anesthesia machine
made by RWD.
Please read this instruction manual and all other auxiliary materials carefully before installing and
using the product, it will be helpful to work with it better.
RWD has been always dedicated to improving the product function and the service quality, and
will reserve the rights to revise the products itself and contents described in the instruction manual
at any time without notice in advance.

described in the manual, or have any questions or ideas about our products and service, welcome
to contact us. For latest information, please visit our web site (http://www.rwdstco.com/) or
contact us immediately.
1.2 Safety
Operation of anesthesia system involves oxygen gas pressure and the use of potentially hazardous
materials. In order to prevent injury to animals or operators and damage to the anesthesia system,
please read Section 2 –Safety carefully before performing any of the procedures contained in this
manual. If you have any safety questions or comments, please contact us for support.
1.3 General description
R640-S1 anesthesia machine is a compact and stable equipment designed by RWD. The principle
is that the anesthetic agent is transformed from liquid to gas and mixed with oxygen according to a
certain proportion for inspiration of animals in order to make them anesthetized.
1.4 Product features
Standard closed circuit breathing loop design;
This veterinary anesthesia system should only be operated by
veterinary professionals qualified to administer anesthesia.
This anesthesia system should be only used for veterinary clinical
and research, NOT used for human clinical.

2
Applicable to cats, dogs, monkeys, pigs and other animals of 100kg weight or less;
Two options available: close and semi-open anesthesia mode;
The oxygen flow meter adjustable ranges from 0.1 to 4 L/min;
With oxygen flush function to replace the system with pure oxygen at a speed of
10L/min;
CO2absorbent canister (2100 ml) is installed in the front part of the machine that is
easy to observe and dissemble for changing;
Newly designed vaporizer provides enough flow of anesthetic gas for animal.
Support both Cage Mount and Selectatec.
The concentration of anesthetic gas from the vaporizer can be adjusted from 0 to
5 % (Isoflurane) and 0 to 8% (Sevoflurane), without effect by fluctuation of flux,
temperature, flow rate and pressure. The safety locking device well prevents
accidental volatilization of anesthetic agent;
Compact and easy to clean.
1.5 Facility requirements
Table 1-1 provides the facility requirements necessary to ensure reliable operation and safety of
the anesthesia system.

1 Main support
Solid metal support for assembling of following component.
○
2 O2 flowmeter
Control the oxygen flow rate. Turn the O2flowmeter control valve to regulate the oxygen
flow between 0.1~4 L/min.
○
3 Inspiration & expiration valve module
The one-way valve is made up with floatable discs and nickel-plated brass valve to control
gas flow direction to form gas circulation in system. It makes sure the animal will not
inhale the gas just exhaled. The floatable discs go up and down as animal breaths, and

4
operator can confirm the respiratory status with the floatable discs.
○
4 Endotracheal tube/ mask connector plug
Used for placing the endotracheal tube/ mask connector. Meanwhile the plug blocks the
breathing circuit, it’s useful for system leak detection, adjusting system pressure and
flushing circuit.
○
5CO2absorbent canister
The absorbent canister is filled with a granular carbon dioxide absorbent material eg. soda
lime. It uses a coaxial gas flow path to provide for more efficient use of absorbent, while
reducing flow resistance. The chemical reaction that takes place in the canister creates heat
and humidity, which is added to the delivery of anesthesia to the animal.
○
6Vaporizer
The vaporizer is the most complicated and expensive part of the anesthesia system. More
attention should be paid to its maintenance and operation. It converts a liquid anesthetic
agent into a vapor which is added to oxygen. The anesthetic vapor is measured in volume
percent (vol %). A dial on top of the vaporizer allows the operator to select the amount of
vapor administered to the animal. The coiled pipe design inside the vaporizer ensures the
output is not affected by the fluctuation of pressure, temperature and gas flow. The inner
design of the vaporizer is different according to the anesthetic agent. Please use the correct
anesthetic agent following the tag on the vaporizer. The misuse may cause the damage to
the equipment and animal.
○
7Pressure gauge
Measures and displays the pressure of gas mixture in breathing circuit.
○
8O2flush button
Press to deliver the oxygen directly to breathing circuit. It is generally used to flush the
anesthetic gas in system or in emergency.
○
9Rebreathing circuit /Non-rebreathing circuit tube socket
Used for connecting to a non-rebreathing circuit, which is generally applicable to animals
below 7 kg.
○ 10 Relief valve
Operator can determine the inspiratory pressure for ventilating the animal by adjusting the
valve while observing the system’s pressure gauge. When the pressure of gas mixture
exceeds the setting, the gas will be expired through valve to keep the pressure stable.

5
Usually, the outlet of the valve is connected to a gas filter canister.
○
11 Breathing bag mount
Used for connecting to a breathing bag when using the anesthesia system in a rebreathing
circuit configuration.
○
12 Rebreathing circuit joint
Used for connecting to a rebreathing circuit, which is generally applicable to animals over 7
kg.
