Guided Walkthrough: Mallard Large Animal Ventilator & Anesthesia System

Описание: Overview of Mallard Medical's specialized veterinary anesthesia machine designed for both small and large animals. The machine includes separate circuits for small and large animals and features a bellows system that simulates lung mechanics with weighted resistance. It incorporates an absorber section filled with soda lime to filter carbon monoxide from exhaled gases and a monitoring station for patient connection via an endotracheal tube.

The device uses adjustable inspiratory time and respiratory rates, and options for low, medium, or high pressure settings, suitable for animals ranging from 5 to 3,000 pounds. Key safety and operational features include a manual ventilation button for power outages, a scavenger system with vacuum assist to remove excess anesthetic gases, and dual vaporizer mounts for anesthetic delivery. The machine is mobile with locking wheels, with both electronic and MRI-compatible versions available.

Key points:
The machine has separate circuits and absorber sections for small (20-300 lbs) and large animals (300-3000 lbs).

Adjustable settings include respiratory rate (2-80 cycles/min), inspiratory time, and bellows pressure (low to high), tailored to animal size and needs.

The absorber uses soda lime to filter carbon monoxide from exhaled air, conserving and recycling gases.

The vacuum scavenger system removes excess anesthetic gases, with a scavenger assist feature for enhanced gas removal.

A manual ventilation button allows continued operation during power failures, enhancing safety.

The facility to mount two vaporizers enables flexible anesthetic gas administration.

The system runs on 80 PSI air pressure with a designed airflow control meter from 0 to 10 liters per minute.

Designed parts like valves are custom-made for continued serviceability amid supply challenges.

Mobile design includes locking wheels for secure positioning and versions compatible with MRI environments.

Moisture drainage valves are provided to maintain system function and hygiene.
