Description

OXYGEN USEAGE: If you require an ICU with oxygen compatibility please visit our specialist Vetario website. The elevated oxygen levels which can be so beneficial to patients' therapy also introduces the hazard of much easier combustion. This means that the higher oxygen levels in an intensive care unit can lead to fire much more readily than in normal atmospheres. The Vetario T40M and T50M have been designed to control these risks and for additional reassurance they have been independently tested by BSI for product safety to the Animal and Medical Incubator standards. The Vetario T40M and T50M models conform to the oxygen fire safety clauses of the current EN 60601-1:2006 + corrigenda 2006 & 2007 standard.

The TLC Advance Series II is a multi-purpose small animal Intensive Care Unit/bird brooder, providing the warmth and isolation essential for the critical care needs for a variety of young, sick, injured or weak animals and birds. With an effective volume of 100 litres, it can accommodate a rabbit, hedgehog, kitten or small puppy for example. Brinsea's TLC intensive care units are used by wildlife rescue centres, conservation projects, breeders and individual rehabilitators worldwide.

Control system: With accurate and calibrated digital temperature control, the TLC-50 Advance Series II gives the user precise and accurate temperature control that can be adjusted at the push of a button. The digital control system shows temperature in either °C or °F and includes dual adjustable alarms to warn of variations of temperature inside and outside the cabinet beyond user-set thresholds. Simply alter the temperature in 0.1°C increments by using the digital controls to adjust between room temperature and 38°C. The digital controller guards against accidental temperature adjustment.

Airflow: Airflow in the TLC-50 Advance Series II has been carefully optimised to ensure consistent distribution of heat, so that all animals are at the same temperature but with the fan maintaining gentle air speeds with positive pressure so that down, fluff and dust are not blown around. The Advance model features variable fan speed for particularly stress-sensitive animals. A twin stage air filter ensures that harmful bacteria and fungal spores are effortlessly removed from the brooding chamber; air is gently circulated by an internal fan in a way that minimises airborne dust.

Humidity: Warm air can result in dehydration so the TLC-50 Advance has a water reservoir over which air is circulated 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 Series II models can reach higher humidity levels and an adjustable vent is fitted to the door which may be opened or closed to give greater control of humidity and fresh air flow. The Advance model also features a digital humidity display to enable the user to monitor humidity more effectively.

This model features a nebuliser solution holder which allows medication to be conveniently administered to the patient when connected to your nebuliser pump. Observation of patients is aided by a switchable internal light which safely illuminates the chamber interior.

Cleaning: With hygiene a top priority, the TLC-50 Advance Series II has been carefully designed to make cleaning as easy as possible. The smooth, easy-to-clean interior has no vulnerable edges for animals to chew. The whole unit can be easily disassembled for easy and effective cleaning.

FREE 3 year guarantee: subject to online registration.


Protected by Polygiene Biomaster Antimicrobial Additive: To reduce the risk of infection Polygiene Brinsea incorporate Biomaster Antimicrobial Protection into our incubator cabinets during manufacture. Polygiene Biomaster Protection is embedded within the plastic itself which prevents the growth of harmful bacteria helping to provide the optimum environment for young animals. Proven to quickly reduce bacterial growth by up to 99.99%

Disinfecting tip: Please make sure that disinfectant is thoroughly rinsed off plastic parts after cleaning and avoid alcohol based solutions to avoid gradual embrittlement of plastic parts.

We have come across a small number of instances of plastic parts of the TLC units becoming degraded, brittle and breaking – particularly around the screws on the door hinges) due to the action of some disinfectants. To avoid this please don't use disinfectants containing alcohol and take care that all traces of disinfectants or cleaning agents are rinsed away with water after cleaning, especially around the hinge screws.

Filling the water reservoir: Your TLC-50 Advance is fitted with a water reservoir which humidifies air as it is drawn into the heater enclosure. Use a solution of Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant (1 part concentrate to 100 parts water) in the water reservoir (pan) to inhibit bacterial build-up. It is recommended that the reservoir is topped up with solution daily to reduce dehydration. The evaporating block and filters can be carefully washed by hand but they do need changing regularly.

PLEASE NOTE: The low room temperature alarm may be triggered at approximately 15°C to provide early warning of compromised performance.

Great product, I use it as a brooder for my macaw chicks having hatched them in my Brinsea incubator. Easy to set up and use, and backed up by great customer service. Thoroughly recommended.

I am a rescue which is in touch with many other rescues who have purchased this very valuable piece of equipment. Each rescue has said that with the Brinsea it has made theirs and the animals life so much easier and given more successes with injured and sick animals pulling them back from the brink of death. Keeping young babies at the right temprature as they mature and grow.... They say without a Brinsea your not a rescue, every rescue should have one of these fantastic pieces of equipment which aids to save so many young baby animals and adults. This piece of equipment is a must for any rescue.

For hedgehog care

Wonderfull product . A lot of my fellow rescuers use this and have had many successes because of this product. Invaluable piece of equipment for any rescue or breeder.

Couldn't find any better

Amazing large brooder, suits smaller species as well as larger ones and/or litter. Easy to clean and very easy to maintain running. Wouldn't want it any different!

Life without Brinsea

I could write a long review but there's no need. I cannot imagine rescuing without Brinsea incubators by my side. A lovely caring family company with top quality products that help make rehabilitating poorly hedgehogs and others so much easier. These are life savers!

Brinsea to the rescue!

Starting a hedgehog Rescue I decided I wanted to start as I meant to go on and give the hedgehogs the best care I could, I ordered two of the TLC 50 Advance incubator’s, having been recommended by other rescues. I have not been disappointed, they have proven to be worth their weight in gold and totally worth every penny. Hedgehogs often come in very poorly, cold and in shock, requiring fluids and warmth, two of the most important things. The fluids are given by injection and then it’s straight into the incubator. It’s easy to set the temperature, with the controls being very easy to understand, I have used both incubators for very small autumn Juvenile hedgehogs to very large hedgehogs who have been admitted over the winter who have needed to be warmed gently but consitantly. At first I was a bit scared to use them, however as I have grown in my own confidence it’s my go to whenever there is a new admission. Soon it will be hoglet season and I can honestly say I know these incubators will prove invaluable, as hoglets need the temperature to be consitant and quite warm between 30c and 34c. The incubator is spacious, easy to use, easy to clean, I wouldn’t be without mine and I am thinking of getting a third, possibly the portable too. Customer service is excellent. Highly recommended.

Wouldn't be without one

This product is robust yet simplistic and easy-to-use in design, and has proved a valuable asset to hospitalising recovering as well as critically ill exotics patients. As a vet with a heavy exotics caseload, I wouldn't be without one.
