INTENDED USE
The SOMNI RS Rebreathing Anesthesia System was designed for Veterinary
Use Only. It is a lightweight, durable, mobile system with 3-inch casters for
maneuverability. The SOMNI RS Rebreathing Anesthesia System includes
an incorporated toggle to switch between rebreathing and nonrebreathing
systems, you do not have to remove the breathing circuits during use. There is
a monitor shelf as well as a middle shelf to provide more workspace and keep
the patient’s vitals and anesthesia controls in one area.

WARNINGS, NOTES AND DEFINITIONS
• Warning! Operator must read entire manual prior to operation and be trained in the
use of inhalant anesthetic equipment. Failure to do so may harm the animal.
• Warning! Do not connect unregulated compressed carrier gas to the RS anesthesia
system. Compressed oxygen or another carrier gas should be supplied at 50-55 psi.
• Warning! Pop-o (APL) valve is closed for shipping. Completely open the Pop-o
valve prior to use. The pop-o valve should be kept open during normal operation and
only closed when performing a leak check or using a ventilator.
• Warning! As a patient safety feature, the oxygen flush will not work with a non-
rebreathing circuit. The oxygen flush is only piped to the rebreathing absorber.
• Warning! Always operate inhalant anesthetic equipment with waste gas scavenging
systems. Failure to control waste anesthetic gas may cause harmful exposure to
personnel.
• Warning! When using the oxygen concentrator, turn anesthesia machine flowmeter
on to allow flow. The concentrator alarm will sound if this step is not followed.
• Note! When using the oxygen concentrator, the oxygen flush will not operate without
the the e-cylinder turned on. The oxygen flush is piped to the e-cylinder only.
• Note! When using the oxygen concentrator, turn the concentrator flow to match the
flowrate on the anesthesia machine.
• Note! Do not overtighten the flowmeter knob. When the float is resting at the bottom
of the flowmeter, the flowmeter is o. Overtightening will damage the needle valve
and result in leakage.
• Note! Anesthetic Vaporizer and carrier gas (oxygen) accessories are not included.
Please follow those products installation guides.
• The Unilimb is a rebreathing circuit for use with animals of approximately 15 lbs (7kg)
or more.

PRODUCT OPERATION
Refer to product installation guide for illustration.
1. Remove all cartons from the main package.
2. Remove the machine H-Frame base unit.
3. Unpack and inspect remaining components for damage. Be sure to retain the mounting hardware contained
inside package.
4. Using supplied bolts and allen wrench, attach mounting plate assembly to base unit as shown in image. *2
people recommended for this step.
5. Attach rebreathing head to the mounting plate with bolts that are pre-installed on the back of the rebreathing
head and the 5/32 allen wrench. *2 people recommended for this step. (Not included for Model RM-17004)
6. Connect black supply line to the hose barb on the le side of the rebreathing head.
Warning: Open popo valve prior to use.
7. Install anesthetic vaporizer onto frame with vaporizer spacer block positioned on the front face of the
mounting plate and tighten. *2 people recommended for this step.
Note: Mounting hardware supplied with vaporizer.
8. Connect the inlet and outlet endcaps using a push and twist action to provide a leak free attachment.
Note: This step can be performed prior to installing the vaporizer onto the frame if needed.
9. Connect oxygen (carrier gas) supply source to the DISS Male fitting on the back of the flowmeter. **For Model
RM-17002 see below for Concentrator Kit instructions**
10. Turn the oxygen (carrier gas) supply on.
11. Connect appropriate active or passive waste gas scavenging system to the 19mm outlet of the popo valve.
12. Ensure vaporizer has been filled per manufacturer’s instructions and is ready for use.
13. Fill absorber canister to line indicated on canister. Use supplied downtube cover (on chain) when filling. Attach
absorber canister to the rebreathing head and tighten. (Not included for Model RM-17004)
Note: Absorbent not included
14. Leak Test following instructions on 10 second pressure test card.

CONCENTRATOR KIT INSTALLATION (MODEL RM-17002)
Stud Hardware installed on base plate:
4 3/8 -24 x 2 inch hex bolt
8 3/8 x 24 hex nut
12 3/8 inch ss washer
4 3/8 inch cushioning washer
In order as installed: bolt, ss washer, base plate, ss washer, 2x hex nut, ss washer, cushioning washer
1. Unpack concentrator and remove wheels by pulling away from (base) of concentrator.
2. Set concentrator on studs sticking up from base plate.
*2 people recommended for this step.
3. The single e-cylinder manifold will be pre-installed on the middle support shelf. Ensure the brass and black
washer/seal is in place prior to installing the e-cylinder.
4. Attach the two high pressure, small green tubes from the anesthesia machine to the e-tank regulator by
pushing the tubing into the fittings. Once resistance is felt, continue to push the tubing slightly further to
secure connection. Gently pull on tubing to test for proper connection.
Note: The e-cylinder must be turned on to operate the oxygen flush.
5. Attach low pressure, large green tubing from the anesthesia machine to the concentrator by threading the
green female fitting onto the male fitting on the concentrator.
6. Optional: Use supplied cable tie to organize the green tubing.
Warning! When using the oxygen concentrator, flip the switch on the front of the anesthesia machine to
concentrator prior to turning the concentrator on.
Warning! When using the oxygen concentrator, turn anesthesia machine flowmeter on to allow flow. The
concentrator alarm will sound if this step is not followed.
Note! When using the oxygen concentrator, turn the concentrator flow to match the flowrate on the anesthesia
machine.

PRODUCT OPERATION CONT.
ATTACHING THE F-CIRCUIT
*The F-circuit is a rebreathing circuit for use with animals that
weigh approximately 15 lbs. (7kg) or more.
1. Connect the longer, single limb of the circuit to the inhalation
valve.
2. Connect the shorter, corrugated tube to the exhalation valve.
3. Connect a rebreathing bag (appropriate to the patient size) to
the port located below the popo valve.
4. Flip the Rebreathing/ Non-rebreathing switch to Rebreathing
when using this circuit. Note: It is not necessary to remove
the non-rebreathing circuit.
ATTACHING THE NON-REBREATHING CIRCUIT
* The Non-rebreathing circuit is a circuit for use with animals
that weight approximately 15 lbs. (7kg) or less.
1. Insert the adapter on the end of the long, clear tubing into the
Common Gas Outlet (located above the Rebreathing/Non-
rebreathing switch).
2. Attach the corrugated tubing to the waste gas scavenging
system.
3. Confirm the bag bleed valve/slide valve is open on the non-
rebreathing circuit.
4. 4. Flip the switch to Non-rebreathing when using the non-
rebreathing circuit. It is not necessary to remove the
rebreathing circuit.
Warning! As a patient safety feature, the oxygen flush will not
work with a non-rebreathing circuit. The oxygen flush is only
piped to the rebreathing absorber.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Daily test
1. Turn the flowmeter knob fully open and observe
the float ascends and descends freely and rests
completely at the bottom when knob is turned o.
2. Inspect lines, connectors and accessories for wear
prior to use.
3. Perform a Leak Test as shown on next page
Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean, do not spray cleaning
agent directly onto the machine surface. Dilute
Chlorhexidine or similar cleaning and disinfecting
agent can be used. Do not use alcohol.

Close the pop-o valve and create a tight seal of the patient circuit
with your hand.
Push the oxygen flush button, or turn on oxygen flow meter, until the
bag is fully distended and/or manometer reads 30-40 cm of H20
pressure.
Release the oxygen flush button and/or ensure the oxygen flowmeter
is o; float is at the bottom of the tube. Observe the manometer (or
the bag if your machine does not have a manometer). The manometer
needle should remain steady. If the manometer needle drops, the bag
deflates, or if you hear a hissing sound, you have a leak.
Check hoses, bag, vaporizer inlet and outlet, any fittings or seals at the
top and/or bottom of your CO2 absorbent container for leaks (a soapy
water solution can be used for leak test). When the pressure remains
constant, with the oxygen turned o, your machine can be considered
leak-free on the low-pressure side.
Re-open the pop-o to your standard setting.
Squeeze the bag (with your hand still over the patient circuit) to ensure
the gases have a clear way out through your scavenging system.
Before each use, “leak test” the
machine, and also ensure that the waste
gases have a clear way through your
evacuation system.
