Ventilator Non-Magnetic Air Valve - Columbus Instruments

Columbus Instruments has developed a Remote Ventilator Valve which allows placing a piston ventilator a distance from the ventilated animal. This device was developed at the request of physiologists who have need to ventilate lab animals placed in an NMR machine. Most ventilators have magnetic metal components which cannot be placed close to the NMR's strong magnetic field. This new valve allows any piston ventilator to be placed remotely without adding "dead space" to the respiratory track.
