Whether
treating a sick kitten or housing an animal following surgery,
the TLC-4M
provides the best chance for quick recuperation. Its size is large
enough for many
species without wasting valuable recovery room space.
The gentle in-built light allows the patient to be observed in
detail with minimal
disturbance and without opening the door.
The TLC-4M is an invaluable and flexible tool for the veterinarian
or animal breeder.
The Octagon TLC-4M intensive care unit also doubles as a Hospital
Cage for sick
or injured birds where a stable, warm, and clean environment can
make the
difference between recovery or death.
Features
The design of the air circulation system results in a slight positive
pressure within
the chamber which resists the inflow of any unfiltered air from
outside. This use
of slight pressure differences is a proven method in hospital
isolation wards
to resist the spread of airborne bio hazards. Replacement filters
are available.
The chamber is gently warmed by Brinsea's unique Omnitherm™
heating system
which evenly radiates heat from almost the entire internal surface
of the chamber
walls so avoiding hot or cool spots and the hazards associated
with traditional
high temperature heaters. The walls of the TLC-4M are slightly
warmer than the
air temperature within the chamber, not colder like most brooders.
Proven
proportional band electronic temperature circuitry gives precise
control of air
temperature over a wide temperature range. The TLC-4M includes
an
independent calibrated digital display of air temperature as standard.
Temperature consistency is further improved by carefully designed
fan-assisted
airflow. The fan gently circulates air within the cabinet through
a replaceable
electrostatic filter medium which removes any airborne dust and
down which
may be present. At the same time a small, controlled amount of
fresh air is
drawn into the chamber through a second filter system, over the
TLC-4M's
water reservoir and into the chamber. The design of the air circulation
system
results in a slight positive pressure within the chamber which
resists the inflow
of any unfiltered air from outside. This use of slight pressure
differences is a
proven method in hospital isolation wards to resist the spread
of airborne bio
hazards. Replacement filters are available.
The interior of the chamber is entirely free of hard-to-clean
mechanisms and
protrusions. The fan, temperature sensors, heater and light are
housed behind
panels. Only the circulation filter is accessible from within
the chamber for
cleaning/renewal. The internal walls of the chamber are white
to enhance
visibility and cleaning.
Dehydration can be a problem so the TLC-4M incorporates
a water reservoir
over which incoming air is drawn to increase humidity within the
chamber.
The water reservoir is filled from outside the unit and is clear,
allowing the
user to monitor the water level.
The low weight of the TLC-4M and the integral handle make it easy
to carry.
The feet in the base of the cabinet match recesses in the top
so that multiple
units can be stacked safely. The unique curved door slides conveniently
around the back for easy access.
As with all Brinsea products the Octagon TLC-4M intensive care
unit is
manufactured under the ISO9002 quality assurance system which
is
independently assessed to ensure consistent and reliable production.
