Subject: Free Heart-lung machines

To any interested party:

We have two old heart-lung machines which we are about to scrap out.  One is a

Pemco 5 pump head unit and the other is a  PAR with four pump heads.  The PAR is
unusual in that the pump heads are side- mounted.  Both machines are in good
working order.

The Pemco is build like an anvil and weighs twice as much.  It has a working
telethermometer and all but one of the pump heads is operational; the one that
isn't has a broken fuse holder which is easily fixed.

I have pumped a lot of dogs on these machines, and I hate to seem them go into
the trash.  On the other hand, I have two Sarns 5000s, two AO machines, and a
Sarns modular 4 -head console: all in good condition, not to mention a
Biomedicus centrifugal system.  In other words, I have heart-lung machines
coming out my ears.  We are expanding our vivarum space and now are becoming
tight on floor space in the warehouse.  If anybody wants these machine and will
pay crating and shipping charges, they are yours for the asking.

I know its a long shot, but I had to ask.

Contact Mike Darwin at the above e-mail adress or phone (after 1200 PST)
(909)987-3883.

A final caution: these machines are ancient, but they work and have worked very
reliably for us.  Certainly the heads and motors are in good condition.

NOTE: since I am posting this to several lists, I want to make clear that
requests from the CCML list will have priority, particularly any coming from
Russia, Ukraine or Eastern Europe.
