iBox Anesthesia System 4
Components of the iBox Anesthesia System
1) Five-Port Breathing Device/Manifold: The Five-Port Breathing Device/Manifold is designed
to maintain anesthesia in the iBox Scientia and iBox Spectra for up to five mice or one rat at a
time. The inflow tube delivers anesthetic gas from the vaporizer unit to the nosecones, while
the outflow tube directs expended gas from the nosecones to the charcoal filter canister. Each
breather is specifically designed to accommodate certain animals. The five-port breather will
accommodate animals weighing 0 to 500 grams.
Not Pictured: The Single-Port Breathing Device/Manifold, for use in the iBox Explorer,
attaches via thumb screws to the slide-out warming plate built into the iBox Explorer. It is
capable of maintaining anesthesia for a single mouse at a time.
2) Nosecones and Plugs: The interchangeable species-specific nosecones slip onto the collar
on each port of the breathing device/manifold. The black plugs (included) prevent release of
anesthetic gas and are to remain in the nosecones when not in use.
3) Warming Plate: In the iBox Scientia and iBox Spectra, the five-port breathing device/manifold
connects to the warming plate. Heating elements within the warming plate keep the surface of
the plate at a consistent 37
°C.
Not Pictured: In the iBox Explorer, the single-port breathing device/manifold connects to the
slide-out warming plate that is built into the system. Heating elements within the warming plate
keep the surface of the plate at a consistent 37
°C.
4) Oxygen Regulator: The oxygen regulator, with a factory preset pressure output of 50 psi,
attaches to an industrial-grade oxygen tank with a standard CGA-540 tank connection. The
regulator’s output fitting is an oxygen-specific DISS 1240 male connection and is also available
with a CGA-870 yoke tank connection for medical-style oxygen tanks.
NOTE: Depending upon configuration, this system may or may not contain an oxygen
regulator. An alternate oxygen regulator can be used only if it has an oxygen-specific
DISS 1240 male connection and is capable of regulating pressure from 20-70 psi.
Recommended output pressure to the system is 50 psi. If your system was not configured
with an oxygen regulator, contact a lab supply company for more information.
UVP does not ship oxygen with this system. Contact a lab supply company to purchase
oxygen.
