Pearl Docking Station
Description
Figure 1-1. Pearl Docking Station (left) with optional
Pearl Clean Box (mounted) and isoflurane vaporizer
(right) of the SmartFlow Anesthesia System.
The Pearl Docking Station is an optional,
external accessory that duplicates many of the
features of the Pearl
®
Imager imaging drawer.
The main features and functions of the Docking
Station are listed below.
l
Duplicates the docking hardware in the
Pearl Imager imaging drawer, allowing an
accessory imaging bed to be locked in place
on the docking station similar to the Pearl
imaging drawer.
l
Provides temperature and anesthesia gas con-
trol to a Pearl accessory imaging bed outside
of the Pearl Imager, allowing animals to be
prepared for imaging at an external station.
l
Warms the heater plate in any of the Pearl
accessory imaging beds (when docked) to 38
°C so animals can be placed on warm ima-
ging beds before transfer to the Pearl
Imager.
l
Provides a rotameter, isoflurane scrubber, and anesthesia gas flow system similar to the Pearl
Imager when an accessory imaging bed is locked in place on the docking station.
This chapter provides information on assembly and operation of the Pearl Docking Station only.
The remaining chapters provide specific operational details on each of the accessory imaging beds.
Information on the standard Pearl Imaging Bed is not provided in this manual since it can be found
in the Pearl Imager Operator's Manual.
