The ICevac system Reduces Exposure to Waste Anesthetic Gas
The University of Michigan's OSEH approves of the Rodent Induction Chamber Evacuation System (ICevac)
Less stressful for the animal
Induction time is shorter
Quickly removes nearly 100% WAG
Small footprint
Adaptable to an existing anesthetic machine
Affordable
The ICevac system has 2 components: The ICevac (black box) and the Induction Chamber (plastic air tight container)
Induction Chambers come in many sizes to accommodate small animals; from mice to rabbits

In this video (below), dry ice is used to represent anesthetic gas filling a chamber
The induction chamber is filled with anesthetic gas until the animal becomes unconsciousness
Traditionally: When the induction chamber is full of anesthetic gas and the animal becomes unconscious, the chamber is opened to retrieve the animal, exposing the operator to a large amount of waste anesthetic gas
Using the Induction Chamber Evacuator:
Anesthetic gas can be safely evacuated from the chamber before opening to retrieve the animal as demonstrated
NOTE: Carbon dioxide gas is much heavier than halogenated gas, therefore it takes longer to evacuate i.e., halogenated gas is evacuated faster than carbon dioxide gas
