we use the Humphreys circuit and it is so simple and easy to use I would thoroughly recommend it, and was particually good when I came back to nursing after a break as only really two configurations to remember for all animals

I too have been using the Humphrey for the last 10 years and I love it! Prefer it to any other circuits Ive used.

Easy to maintain and easy to use

I've been using Humphreys for the last 10yrs and i'm really pleased with them. Don't let the initial cost put you off, they are worth the investment at twice the price!

Hi!

I have used the humphreys quite alot. It takes some getting used to in the beginning, as your flow rates are so much lower than you would be used to and your bag size stays at size 2 up till 50kg. The one thing i find that is absolutely necessary when using this system is that the circuit needs to be flushed before connecting to the patient (ie turn the o2 and iso on, block the end that connects to the patient and flush it through) as it takes a while for the iso to get to the patient if not flushed and I have had a patient who didn't sleep properly when i didn't do this. Otherwise i think it is awesome and saves you a load of o2.

I have only used it on Iso machines, but not sure if this makes a difference.

Hope this helps!
