The SAR-1000 incorporates numerous features and innovations resulting from our long experience with small animal respiratory support and monitoring. Accuracy of respiratory parameters is assured through the use of advanced sensors for airflow and pressure. The simple but versatile operating modes allow safe long-term ventilation of small, delicate animals.

Besides its primary use as a normal rodent ventila- tor, it can operate under remote computer control using the built-in USB port and a host PC. Basic control and monitoring software is provided, and specialized soft-

The SAR-1000 Small Animal Ventilator is a versa- tile and easy-to-use ventilator for mice, rats, andother small animals. Volume mode delivers a fixed tidal volume on each breath, and pressure mode causes inflation to stop at a preset airway pressure. In either mode, lung inflation is maintained at the end of inspira- tion until the percent inspiration (%Insp) time has elapsed. This end inspiratory pause (IEP) improves gas exchange and the overall efficiency of ventilation.In volume mode, the ventilator operates on the proven flow-time principle, where a known airflow is delivered for a set time, thus delivering a fixed volume. In pressure mode, airflow is simply adjusted to give a suitable inspiration time. Actual tidal volume is comput- ed and displayed on the LCD display, as well as minute ventilation (MV) and other respiratory parameters.A built-in air pump allows completely self-contained operation. This pump draws in room air, oxygen, or anesthetic gasses through a rear-panel port.

ware packages are optionally available from CWE, Inc. Using such external control programs, it is possible to synchronize the ventilator for imaging purposes, do neural-controlled ventilation, constant-CO2 ventilation, and much more.

Accessories and add-ons

The SAR-1000 is fully compatible with oxygen and inhalational anesthestic gasses. An optional anesthesia kit turns the SAR-1000 into a complete and compact anesthesia ventilator. Mixing manifolds are available for combining air or oxygen with anesthetic gasses.

The ventilator is expandable to multiple animals (or

larger animals) via a rear-panel expansion port. Using available external valve assemblies, up to five mice or rats can be ventilated based on a single SAR-1000. Valve assemblies for larger animals are also available. Please refer to the accessories list for details.

Although the SAR-1000 comes complete with every- thing needed for immediate operation, we offer a variety of accessories and replacement components. These include a range of endotracheal tubes, connectors, tub- ing sets, etc. We are happy to customize the configura- tion to meet any special requirements.
