Owner’s Manual - Oxygen Therapy Door
Introduction The SSCI Oxygen Therapy Door transforms your standard Regal
cage into an oxygen therapy chamber. The clear door features a
continuous-flow nebulizer with .25 in (.635 cm) inner diameter x
.062 in (.16 cm) thick tubing to deliver a regulated flow of
medicated, moist oxygen.
A thermometer/hygrometer mounted on the door monitors cage
temperature and humidity for optimal treatment. The clear
polycarbonate door allows you to view the animal at all times.
A detachable compartment on the outside holds the oxygen
nebulizer and ice to cool the oxygen if needed. The door mounts
onto the front of the cage in place of the regular door, and uses
standard hinges and latches to close securely. Rubber door seals on
all four sides of the door are open at the corners to uniformly
distribute oxygen and exhaust carbon dioxide.
Every attempt has been made to insure that the information in this
manual is correct and complete. SSCI, however, always welcomes
our customer’s suggestions for improvements to our products and
associated publications.
