The SAR830 series ventilators are our most popular small animal ventilators! Their legendary reliability rests on simple principles of operation and robustconstruction. Tidal volumes are generated by gating a known airflow into the lungs for a set inspiratory time. Only three controls — respiratory rate, inspiratory time, and flow rate are necessary to produce tidal volumes and respiratory rates over a wide range. Model SAR830/AP (shown above) has the additional feature of pressurecycling, where the lungs are always inflated to a set pressure on each inspiration. All models are available with Isoflurane or Halothane anesthesia.
Choose your model:
SAR-830/P -- Volume or pressure-cycled operation. Has built-in airway pressure bar-graph, and analog pressure output signal. Requires a pressurized source of air, oxygen, or anesthetic mix to operate.
SAR-830/AP -- Volume or pressure-cycled operation, with internal air pump for self-contained operation.. Has built-in airway pressure bar-graph, and analog pressure output signal.
Accessories: All models are expandable to larger animals, or multi-animal setups through a simple expansion connector.
