HD4511 GB Issue 01

4Location and Assembly

4.1 Your ICU will give best results in a room free from wide temperature variations and with generous

ventilation –particularly if several ICUs are running at the same time. Ensure that the room temperature

cannot drop on a cold night. Ideally thermostatically control the room at between 20 and 25°C (68 and

77°F). Never allow the room temperature to drop below 15°C (59°F) and ensure that the ICU cannot be

exposed to direct sunlight.

4.2 Assemble the cabinet using the tools and fasteners provided. Follow the diagrams. Do not over-tighten

fasteners.

4.3 The door is hinged at the left as supplied but may be reversed to provide better access if required. Fit the

top hinge socket to the cabinet using the M5 x 16mm countersunk screws, M5 flat washers and M5 dome

nuts.

4.4 Place the door in the lower hinge and close the latch. Lower the top cabinet down onto the other

parts.

4.5 Fit the M4 x 30mm cap-headed screws, star washers and nuts into each set of holes around the edge of

the cabinet. Tighten enough to prevent them spinning. This creates an air tight seal around the cabinet.

Fit the nebuliser bracket as shown.

HD4511 GB Issue 01

4.6 If caring for small animals with long claws such as hedgehogs, the door edge strip may be fitted as shown

to ensure claws cannot pass through any door gap:

4.7 Place the white evaporating block in the clear water pan. Open the door and lift the pan into position, it

pushes up and across into two slots on the heater enclosure. The pad may need to be softened with a

little water to help it flatten while the pan is fitted. The pan is located in this manner to help prevent

accidental removal by animals.

Air Filter

Loosen the bottom

hinge/cabinet fixings by half a

turn so that the hinge

becomes free to move.

Slide the door as far as it will

go in the direction of the

door latch. Tighten the fixings

while holding the door.

Loosen the top hinge/cabinet

fixing. Move it so that the

door becomes level in the

frame and opens/closes

freely. Tighten the fixings.

Observe the length of any ‘V’ shape

gap that a claw could fit through. Cut

the door edge strip to fill the length of

the gap.

Open the door wide and press the door edge strip into

place on the door. Close the door and check the strip

does not force the door outward. Trim the length of

the edge strip if necessary.

HD4511 GB Issue 01

4.8 Your ICU is supplied with air filter media fitted at the air inlet (see fig 1) and at each end of the heater

enclosure (see picture 9 above). For details of filter replacement see the Servicing section.

4.9 Fit the nebuliser solution holder by inserting the "mouthpiece" through the hole in the cabinet and

locating the solution holder pipe in the slot in the bracket.

4.10 Place the ICU on a scratch and moisture resistant surface. Worktop height is ideal.

4.11 Connect the mains cable to the inlet. Ensure the connector is pushed fully home in its socket.

4.12 The fan will start and the display will show the current temperature and humidity in the cabinet plus a

"P" symbol to show power was interrupted.

4.13 Allow the ICU to run for at least an hour to stabilise the temperature before introducing animals.

5Digital Control System

The Vetario Advance Series II control system utilises highly accurate, individually calibrated sensors for

temperature and humidity. Be cautious of low-cost analogue or digital thermometers and hygrometers when

comparing them with the ICU display readings.

5.1 NORMAL OPERATION –Temperature and relative humidity are continuously displayed.

The asterisk “*” adjacent to the temperature reading shows when the heater power is on. When warming

the asterisk will be continuously on, once warmed up the asterisk will slowly flash as the heater is pulsed

to maintain the correct temperature.

5.2 POWER LOSS DISPLAY –If power has been interrupted due to a power cut (or when first switching on) a

“P” is shown flashing in the corner of the display. Press the - or + button for 2 or more seconds to clear

the indicator. If the reason for the power loss is not known check the power cable connections are secure.

5.3 HIGH INCUBATION TEMPERATURE ALARM DISPLAY –If the measured temperature goes up by more than

the figure in the ALARM HI screen, the alarm will sound immediately and “H” will be displayed. Press OK

to silence the alarm for 30 minutes.

If the high temperature problem rectifies itself the “H” remains on the display to show this has happened.

Press OK to clear the indicator. Check the ICU is not (and has not been) in direct sunlight or too near a

heat source such as a room heater.

5.4 LOW INCUBATION TEMPERATURE ALARM DISPLAY –If the measured temperature goes down by more

than the figure in the ALARM LO screen, after 1 hour “L” will be displayed and the alarm will sound. Press

OK to silence the alarm for 30 minutes.

If the low temperature problem rectifies itself the “L” remains on the display to show this has happened.

Press OK to clear the indicator. Check the ICU is not (and has not been) in a cold draught or that the room

temperature has dropped significantly.

5.5 HIGH ROOM TEMPERATURE ALARM DISPLAY –If the calculated room temperature remains too high for

stable temperature control for more than 1 hour a warning is displayed “+RM” and an alarm will sound.

Press OK to silence the alarm for 30 minutes.

If the high temperature problem rectifies itself the “+RM” remains on the display to show this has

happened. Press OK to clear the indicator.

Check the ICU is not (and has not been) in direct sunlight or too near a heat source such as a room heater.

The animals themselves create significant metabolic heating and may contribute to this if room

temperature is high.

5.6 LOW ROOM TEMPERATURE ALARM DISPLAY –If the calculated room temperature remains too low for

stable temperature control for more than 1 hour a warning is displayed “-RM” and an alarm will sound.

Press OK to silence the alarm for 30 minutes.

If the low temperature problem rectifies itself the “-RM” remains on the display to show this has

happened. Press OK to clear the indicator.

5.7 CHANGING SETTINGS –The Main Menu allows the various settings to be modified and saved. All changes

are retained in the event of a power cut.

To access the Main Menu, press the +and –buttons simultaneously to unlock the display. For full details

of menu settings please refer to the guide on page 3.

6Temperature

Stable and correct temperature is essential for good results. Adjust with care.

WARNING:- THE CIRCULATING FAN AND THE METABOLIC HEAT FROM PATIENTS CONTRIBUTE HEAT TO

THE ICU. THE ICU MAY NOT CONTROL PROPERLY IF THE ROOM TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 3°C (10°F)

LOWER THAN THE TEMPERATURE REQUIRED INSIDE.

AVOID LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN AS THIS WILL CREATE SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCE OF THE

TEMPERATURE IN THE ICU AND TAKE TIME TO STABILISE.

6.1 Note: your ICU may not be set to the correct temperature from the factory and the following procedure

must be followed before introducing animals.

6.2 Press the - and + buttons simultaneously to unlock the main menu. Press OK to select the temperature

screen and adjust as necessary using the + and –buttons. Press OK to return to the Main Menu and then

scroll down to Save. Press OK to save the changes.

6.3 As the ICU warms up and approaches its control setting the heater on asterisk “*” will change from

continuously on to flashing. When reducing temperature, the asterisk may still flash as the ICU gently

cools –this is normal.

6.4 Refer to the digital temperature display to check temperature. The display shows the air temperature in

increments of 0.1°.

6.5 The Display can be switched to show all temperature settings in degrees Fahrenheit. Press the - and +

buttons simultaneously to unlock the main menu. Scroll to the C/F option and press OK to select the C/F

display screen. Press the + button to select °F or the –button to select °C. Press OK to return to the Main

Menu and then scroll down to Save. Press OK to save the changes.

6.6 For recommended temperatures see section 9. Note that the temperature should be gradually reduced

to room temperature (20 –25°C or 68 –77°F) as the patient recovers to avoid sudden temperature change

when the patient is removed.

6.7 Care should be taken about cooling that occurs during feeding or inspection or very small patients. Keep

the room warm, hold the patient in a cloth to prevent chilling from cold hands and use warmed feeding

utensils.

7Humidity and Ventilation

Elevated air temperatures in the ICU will reduce the relative humidity level (RH) and can cause

dehydration. A water reservoir is fitted to counteract this effect. Relative humidity of between 45 and

55% RH is adequate. Avoid very high levels as condensation may form on cooler surfaces. The

maximum achievable humidity is subject to room conditions with a typical limit of approximately 65 to

70%RH.

7.1 Your ICU is fitted with a water reservoir (see fig.1) which humidifies air as it is drawn into the heater

enclosure. Use a solution of proprietary water-based disinfectant (diluted in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions) in the water reservoir (pan) to inhibit bacterial build-up. It is recommended

HD4511 GB Issue 01

that the reservoir is topped up with solution daily to reduce dehydration. This can be a particular problem

with chick(s).

7.2 The ICU and its occupants need not be disturbed to fill the water pan. Use the funnel provided to pour

water through the water fill point in the top of the ICU (see fig. 1) directly onto the evaporating block and

into the water pan. Push the funnel down gently into the hole to make sure the water pours directly in.

Clean up any spilled water from the top of the ICU immediately.

7.3 To further increase humidity levels within the ICU the water reservoir is fitted with an evaporating block

of absorbent paper mesh as standard. This block may be cut in half or removed entirely to give lower

humidity levels if condensation forms. The block can provide a breeding ground for bacteria. In addition

to the use of water-based disinfectant solution in the water, it is recommended that the block is replaced

every 2 months of use.

7.4 An adjustable vent is fitted to the door of the ICU which may be opened or closed to give greater control

of humidity (close vent to increase) and fresh air flow. The vent may be fully closed as fixed ventilation is

also provided.

7.5 In order to maintain maximum air-flow the air-flow filters should be checked once a week for dust or

down, and cleaned if necessary.

8Fan Speed Control

The speed of the air circulation fan in Vetario Advance Series II ICUs may be adjusted between four levels.

Higher fan speed provides the most accurate control of air temperature around the base of the ICU. Lower

fan speed provides more gentle air flow around animals and lower noise level. The operator may choose

the speed according to their priorities.

8.1 Press the - and + buttons simultaneously to unlock the main menu. Press + once to display the fan speed

option and then OK to select. Adjust as necessary using the + and –buttons. Press OK to return to the

Main Menu and then scroll down to Save. Press OK to save the changes.

8.2 The highest fan speed provides the most accurate correlation between the display temperature and the

average temperature of the air low down in the animal chamber.

8.3 The lowest fan speed provides the lowest noise and air speed but the air temperature low down in the

animal chamber may be slightly cooler than that on the display, particularly in a cold room.

9Small Animal Care

9.1 Your ICU has been specifically designed for the care of injured or sick small animals. Animals should always

be cared for following the instructions and advice given by your veterinary surgeon.

9.2 The first stage of treating a cold animal (hypothermia) is to prevent further heat loss, by wrapping the

casualty in insulating materials such as blankets, bubble wrap or silver foil. It is recommended to pre-heat

the ICU and allow the temperature to stabilise before adding young birds or small animals. If you are

aware of an incoming animal patient, the ICU may be switched on so that it is ready for immediate use

when the patient arrives.

HD4511 GB Issue 01

9.3 Once the ICU is warmed to the correct temperature the animal can be transferred. The amount of bedding

should be reduced at this stage to allow warming from the environment in the ICU. All animals will benefit

from some bedding in the bottom of the cabinet such as an absorbent pad to help reduce soiling. Small

animals such as fox or badger cubs can benefit from having a soft toy for company while single ducklings

or pheasant chicks can be provided with a safe mirror. Wild animals may become very distressed when

handled by humans. Place the ICU where there is minimal disturbance.

9.4 All small mammals and birds will benefit from being kept in an environmental temperature within their

‘thermoneutral range’. This is the range of temperatures in which an animal expends no energy to

maintain its body temperature. The thermoneutral temperatures for typical adult mammals and birds are

given in table 1. For birds, the thermoneutral range depends upon size, with smaller birds requiring higher

temperatures. Reptiles and amphibians should be kept within an ‘activity temperature range’ (ATR) in

which it can control its body temperature. ATR values for typical reptiles and amphibians are also given in

table 1.

Table 1. Typical thermoneutral and active temperature ranges

(ATR)

Species:

Temperature range:

Mammals

15 –20°C (59 –68°F)

Medium and Large Birds

15 –25°C (59 –77°F)

Small Birds

20 –30°C (68 –86°F)

Very Small Birds

25 –35°C (77 –95°F)

Reptiles

20 –30°C (68 –86°F)

Amphibians

15 –30°C (59 –86°F)

9.5 Hypothermic adult animals should be warmed in the ICU set to their thermoneutral range. The

temperature of both the ICU and the animal should be recorded at regular intervals. Careful monitoring

and observation of the animal should be undertaken to ensure that it is not showing signs of distress. i.e.

panting or shivering. These animals are also likely to be dehydrated and/or ‘shocked’ (hypovolaemic) so

warming alone will not correct these things and may make them worse. All adult animals must therefore

be provided with adequate fluid therapy at the same time as warming and veterinary care (in person, over

the telephone or in written SOPs). Injured animals also require pain relief (analgesia) which can be

prescribed by a veterinary surgeon.

9.6 If the animal will drink, then an oral rehydration fluid can be provided in a shallow bowl. If the animal will

not, or cannot drink, then fluid must be given in other ways. In birds, rehydration fluids can most easily

be provided by crop tubing, provided the bird can lift its head and swallow. In mammals, intravenous or

intraosseous fluids are usually required to rehydrate patients. These must only be administered by a

veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse.

9.7 Only feed a poorly animal once it is warm and always start with liquids only. Do not place moist, solid food

in the intensive care unit as it will rapidly go bad due to the warm environment.

9.8 Dependent animals (those that would naturally be in a nest) should be kept in the ICU set at 28-32°C (82.5-

89.5°F) until they are of an age where they can maintain their own body temperature when the heat can

be reduced to the thermoneutral range for that species. Carefully observe their behaviour for signs of

panting or shivering to help determine the best temperature for them at that stage. Very small baby

animals may require an artificial fabric ‘nest’ to be created in the ICU, lined with paper towel.

9.9 Like adult animals, baby animals are frequently dehydrated upon arrival and should be fed with an oral

electrolyte solution. They also frequently have a low blood glucose level (hypoglycaemia) and should be

fed appropriately soon after the initial electrolyte feed. If the animal is unable to lift its head, and/or

swallow, then it will need to be given fluids and glucose by injection –this should be under veterinary

direction.

HD4511 GB Issue 01

10 Internal Lighting

11.1 The Vetario Advance Series II ICUs are equipped with gentle, internal LED lighting for night-time inspection

of animals and birds. The LED lamps are energy efficient, do not affect temperature and would not

normally require replacement. Amber colour LED's do not produce UV light often associated with "white"

LED's.

11.2 The LED lights are located to the left of the fan diffuser in the S40 size model and on both sides of the fan

diffuser on the larger S50 model.

11.3 The lights may be switched on and off by pressing the OK button. This has a toggle action.

11 Cleaning Up

IMPORTANT:

DISCONNECT THE ICU FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY DURING CLEANING. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

ENSURE THAT ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS ARE KEPT DRY.

11.1 Following each use of your Vetario intensive care unit remove all debris from the floor. Wipe all internal

surfaces with a soft cloth soaked in water-based disinfectant solution (diluted according to the

manufacturer's instructions). Filters should be inspected on a weekly basis and be cleaned if necessary.

Remove all three filters and gently hand wash in warm water then allow them to dry before use. Filters

need replacing every six months. Immerse and soak any tubs in disinfectant solution. The exterior of the

unit may be cleaned with a damp cloth.

11.2 Avoid alcohol-based solutions and make sure that all disinfectant is thoroughly rinsed off plastic parts with

clean water. Disinfectant solutions may cause severe cracking of plastic if not correctly rinsed off.

11.3 Always clean the ICU before storage and ensure that the unit is totally dry inside and out or damage may

occur to the components.

11.4 For deeper cleaning the base of the cabinet and the door may be removed by releasing the fasteners. See

section 4 for assembly guide. The cabinet base and the door may be wet-cleaned with mild detergent and

then disinfected with water-based disinfectant solution.

at the address at the end of this document or from your Vetario agent.

12 Servicing and Calibration

13.1 Although it is not regarded as necessary for routine cleaning, the heater enclosure may be safely removed

to allow the heater and fan to be dusted. Disconnect the power lead. Remove the water pan. Loosen the

4 cap-head screws (on top of the white plastic cabinet, not the grey control box) as shown and then finally

remove each one while supporting the metal enclosure inside. The metal enclosure will fall if not held and

may damage the ICU.

13.2 Carefully place the ICU on its top and then lift out the metal heater enclosure. The fan assembly may then

be hinged over toward the front of the machine so that the heating element and fan blades may be dusted

with a soft brush. USE NO LIQUIDS. DO NOT DISTURB THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR.

13.3 Once the heater area has been dusted the fan assembly must be relocated by ensuring the 4 pegs on the

clear moulding fit into the corresponding holes in the metal base plate.

13.4 ENSURE THE FAN / LED WIRES ARE NOT TOUCHING THE HEATING ELEMENT

DO NOT DISTURB SENSOR

Fan assembly may be hinged out

on its cables to allow fan and

heater to be dusted with a soft

brush

Fan assembly is located by 4 pegs

in the feet of the clear moulding

HD4511 GB Issue 01

13.5 Replace the metal cover so that the water pan slots are at the correct end. Hold the cover in place and fit

the 4 cap-head screws. Do not over-tighten.

13.6 In case of failure first check that the mains power supply is working and that the mains cable connector is

fully engaged in the socket at the rear of the control housing. Check the fuse in the mains inlet on the rear

of the control housing. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating if necessary.

13.7 If the problem persists contact your distributor or Brinsea Products Service Dept.

13.8 The digital temperature display is individually calibrated during manufacture but may be re-calibrated if

required. In the unlikely event that that the accuracy of the temperature display is in doubt please ensure

the air filters are cleaned and the heater enclosure is free of debris following the instructions above.

Contact your distributor or Brinsea directly at s[email protected] for further information and advice.
