Owner’s Manual - Regal Intensive Care Unit
Chapter 1 - General Information
Introduction
SSCI’s Regal Intensive Care Unit has been uniquely engineered to
provide a temperature and oxygen controlled environment for your
most seriously ill patients. This versatile unit can accommodate one
large animal or, with the addition of an easily-installed wire grill
divider panel, two smaller animals simultaneously.
The unit controls temperature in two ways: by controlling air temperature, and by warming the floor with two separate, individuallycontrolled floor heaters. The continually re-circulating air flow can
be warmed or cooled with the built-in heating system and refrigeration unit.
Oxygen concentration and flow volume are accurately controlled
and continuously monitored on the control panel. Carbon dioxide is
removed as the re-circulating air passes through an absorbent filter
medium. To ensure your patient’s comfort, an integral two-function
thermometer/hygrometer digital readout displays the temperature
and humidity inside the unit. External access ports allow you to
change the IV supply without opening the compartment or disturbing the animal.
The unit is made of durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel, unaffected
by moisture or temperature.

Care and Cleaning of
Stainless Steel
Owner’s Manual - Regal Intensive Care Unit
For complete information, refer to the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS GTRN-0006) included in the
Appendix to this manual.
Introduction
Cleaning and
Cleansers
Stainless steel is steel alloyed with chromium to make it highly
resistant to stain, rust, and corrosion. Note: This does NOT mean
that stainless steel will never rust or corrode. Science has not yet
developed a steel which is completely stainless or corrosion
PROOF.
The type of stainless steel and finish selected by SSCI for the Regal
Intensive Care Unit is the best available for the intended use.
The basic rule of thumb is to use the mildest cleaning agent that will
do the job effectively. After cleaning, always rinse thoroughly with
clear water, and dry completely. Frequent cleaning will prolong the
service life of stainless steel equipment and will help maintain a
bright, pleasing appearance. Note: NEVER power-wash the
Intensive Care Unit.
Ordinary deposits of waste and fluids can usually be removed with
soap and water. More stubborn deposits or tightly adhering debris
may require harder scrubbing and possibly the use of commercial
cleaning products acceptable for use on metal surfaces. When using
any cleaning agent, rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”
of the metal. For high luster finishes, use clean soft cloths or pads.
Form No. 702718 Rev. A March, 2005
If especially rough cleaning is necessary, use “stainless steel” wool,
nylon or plastic scrubbers. Test these scrubbers in an inconspicuous
area first to be sure they do not mar or scratch the stainless steel finish.
Minor scale build-up and some hard water spotting may be
removed by washing with vinegar, followed by a neutralizing rinse
with clear water, and a thorough drying with a soft cloth. For heavy
deposits of scale, 5% oxalic acid (use warm), 5-15% sulfamic acid,
or 5-10% phosphoric acid may be used. Always follow with a
neutralizing rinse of clean water and a thorough drying.

Chapter 1 - General Information
Deodorizing Agents,
Disinfectants, and
Sanitizers
The large selection of brands and combinations of chemicals
available for deodorizing, disinfecting, and sanitizing is staggering.
Select one or more agents for use in your facility only after weighing
all the benefits claimed by each product. Too often this choice is
made without adequate consideration of the effects these agents
may produce on equipment or furnishings.
CAUTION: Before selecting a chemical to employ in
your facility, review label statements regarding use
with metals (stainless steel). Always consult the
chemical supplier if there are any doubts.
Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides, and thiocyanates on stainless steel surfaces as
these chemicals will cause pitting, corrosion, and metal
discoloration. Allowing salty solutions to evaporate and dry on
stainless steel may also contribute to corrosive conditions.
In summary, select chemical deodorizers, disinfectants, and/or
sanitizers only after weighing all possible benefits and known
adverse effects.

Divider Panels
Two removable divider panels (Figures 3 and 5) are supplied with
the unit: a clear acrylic divider, and a wire grill divider. Only one can
be installed at a time. The dividers are easily installed and removed,
and, when installed, split the compartment into two half-compartments. The two half-compartments have individually-controlled
floor heaters, however, they share the same oxygen supply, heating,
and cooling.
The only purpose of the clear acrylic divider is to reduce the size of
the compartment to minimize oxygen usage. Always use the wire
grill divider if animals are present in both compartments.
WARNING: Never place an animal in the left
compartment if the clear acrylic divider is being used.
This divider creates an effective seal, and prevents
the flow of air into the left compartment. If this divider
is in place, an animal in this compartment can easily
suffocate.

Three circulating fans behind this grill supply air to the animal
compartment (Figure 3). This opening is the entrance port for warm
air, cool air, and oxygen into the animal compartment.
Two orange, PVC-coated, expanded metal floors (Figures 7 and
10) are provided with the Intensive Care Unit to give animals softer,
dryer, warmer, and more comfortable resting places. They allow the
animals to rest three-inches above the compartment floor so they
stay clean and dry. The PVC floors are easily removed for cleaning
(refer to Cleaning the Removable PVC Floors on Page 63).
After circulating through the animal compartment, air leaves the
compartment through this grill (Figure 3) and into the filter/fans
compartment. The air then passes through a filter, a chiller, a heater,
and then a pan of Sodalime absorbent which removes the animal’s
respiratory carbon-dioxide.
