Veterinary practices that use isoflurane anaesthesia can use the R586S. The vaporiser controls the anaesthetic output concentration, with a range of 0 to 5%. RWD describes its vaporisers as designed to control the output of anaesthetic accurately, and this model applies that design to isoflurane. The model includes the key fill method and quick connector gas line, as RWD lists them.
At the start of a list, the nurse fills the reservoir by key fill. A capacity of more than 120 mL provides room for the agent, and the quick-connector gas line connects the vaporiser to the machine's gas path. The body maintains zero leakage at an internal pressure of up to 50 kPa, supporting a steady supply of agent during a procedure. Its 0 to 5% range covers the available isoflurane concentration span.
During a case, the anaesthetist sets the concentration on the vaporiser and adjusts it as the animal needs. The built-in temperature compensator works within the working range of 10 to 35 °C, so the output follows the setting as the room warms or cools across the day.
Between lists, the unit stays ready for use. RWD calibrates and tests each vaporiser individually, so each practice receives a unit with its own calibration. Because the working range runs from 10 to 35 °C, the vaporiser can stay in the room where the machine is used.
Veterinary surgeons, anaesthetists and nurses all work with the vaporiser.
