The AVS-1 Advanced Ventilator System is a versatile, microprocessor-based animal ventilator.  It performs volume cycling, pressure cycling, and neural control of ventilation. Additional features include pressure-demand triggering, constant CO2 ventilation, and facilities for external control of ventilator function. The AVS-1 is capable of ventilating animals ranging from mice to cat-size by plugging in the appropriate external valve assembly.

As a flow-time ventilator, inspiratory volumes are generated by gating a constant flow into the animal for a given time. This approach permits great flexibility in respiratory timing, since respiratory rate (RR), inspiratory time (TI), and airflow are all independently set. In addition to constant volume ventilation, inspiration may be terminated by a variety of events, including end-inspiratory pressure.

The controls of the AVS-1 are logically arranged into functional groupings. The primary groups are start inspiration and stop inspiration. For example, inspiration can be started by a clock, the onset of Phrenic nerve activity, inspiratory effort of the animal (demand), or by an external logic signal. Inspiration is terminated by a set of similar functions. These modes can be mixed; e.g., you can initiate inspiration using the neural triggering, but terminate with pressure.
