A compact (9” W x 9” D x 15” H), convenient system for use on animals under 7 kg (15 lb).

In clinical trials the AWS is being used for long term anesthetic procedures on 150-400gm rodents. The AWS has been shown to be effective with the induction, stabilization, and maintenance of patients for neurophysiological testing using inhalant anesthetics for daily 8 to 12-hour procedures. Using the AWS, rats under isoflurane anesthesia have been subject to extended electrophysiological recordings of cortical responses. Throughout these procedures the AWS has been shown to facilitate the administration of anesthetics, holding the subject in a very smooth, controllable anesthetic plane, as well as providing precise respiratory control.

The Hallowell EMC Anesthesia WorkStation is easy to use as BOTH a basic respirator (irrespective of anesthetic regime) and delivery source for inhalant anesthetics. It incorporates a time-cycled volume ventilator with an adjustable pressure safety limit. The only additional component necessary for immediate utilization is a vaporizer for the agent of your choice.

Free yourself from the restraints of the operating room, work on your bench top when appropriate.
