Manufacturer Description
The Kent Scientific RSP-1002 is a pressure-controlled, volume-constant respirator designed for small animal research, such as rabbits or rodents, frequently used for procedures requiring controlled ventilation (e.g., 30 breaths/min, 10 mL/kg tidal volume). It offers specific pressure settings, such as 30 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure, and is designed for ease of intubation.

Key Features and Specifications (Based on Published Research):
  • Type: Pressure-controlled small animal ventilator.
  • Application: Ideal for controlled breathing in lab animals, used in studies with 120 minutes of ventilation.
  • Ventilation Rate: Often used at 30 breaths/min, with reports of 80 strokes/min in specific studies.
  • Pressure Control: Capable of administering up to positive end-expiratory pressure.
  • Tidal Volume: Typically set at 10 mL/kg in rabbits.
  • Intubation: Suitable for use with 16-gauge catheters in smaller animals.
The RSP-1002 is often applied in ischemia-reperfusion injury studies where consistent respiratory, pressure-based, or volume-based, input is required, providing reliable and stable, long-term ventilation for experimental procedures.
