Procedure

PROCEDURE
  • Depending on the type of wild animal species. select the dart or the specialized syringe with a fixed volume like 2.5 ml or 3 ml or 5 ml etc.
  • By using the deventing pin, just remove the pressure of air from the given dart
  • Push the plunger in the drug chamber down to the possible extent, so as to hold the required volume of the medicament to be used for the chemical immobilization.
  • Now, you have to take the disposable syringe of required volume depending on the volume of the drug to be taken.
  • Attach the 21 gauze or suitably sized needle to the hub of the syringe and draw the required drug to be used to make immobilizing effects in the concerned wild animal under examination.
  • Draw the immobilizing agent carefully after wearing gloves and/or other protective like coverall or face cover etc.
  • Now place the drug into the drug chamber of the dart.
  • Take the dart-needle subsequent to the selection of the dart needle(whether it is to be a collared one or barbed one or a plain one)
  • Attach it now with the drug-chamber end of the dart.
  • Take the sleeve that is more suitable for that concerned dart-needle and apply over this needle and close the outlet of the dart-needle well.
  • Check for the patency of the sleeve and it has to be tight during both placement and experimental movement over the dart-needle.
  • Now by either using the ten ml syringe or a mini gas filler, pressurize the dart carefully by attaching with the air-chamber end or with the fixed stabilizer-end of the dart.
  • You may have resistance subsequent to the filling of right amount of air into the air chamber of the dart. At this time, stop pressurizing the dart.
  • Further, you have to monitor side by side the movement of top layer of drug to the maximum, in the dart syringe.
  • Attach the stabilizer to the air-chamber end of the dart syringe, properly
  • Keep the duly pressurized dart away from the face or eyes.
  • Now the dart is ready for the projection 
  • For further clarification, you just go through the video about loading of dart.
