Revolutionary new tool: the IDAL Vaccinator

The IDAL Vaccinator has three revolutionary features:

1. It is controlled electronically
2. There is no needle
3. It delivers the vaccine intradermally This innovative device makes the vaccination easier and safer for the operator, and a lot more friendly for the pigs.

The IDAL vaccinator delivers only 0.2 ml of vaccine into the thickness of the skin, without a needle. So there are several advantages:

• No invasion of muscle tissue, so no damage to the meat
• No danger of broken needles remaining in skin or muscle
• Vaccination is not confined to a restricted site
• No local reactions
• No systemic reactions
• Animals are not stressed by an injection
• Ease of use for the operator

• An automatic rinsing system: the device recognizes the rinsing fluid as such and automatically pumps a limited number of doses through the system, at low pressure, to clean the interior, leaving the device in resting mode
• An automatic vaccine recognition system: the device will only deliver a dose at the correct operating pressure once it recognizes that it contains vaccine (not rinsing fluid)
• An automatic dose release system: when on standby, the device automatically releases a dose of vaccine when pressed against the skin of the animal
• A visual display including dose counter: the counter can be switched between 'doses per session' and 'total doses delivered', and other useful information about the current status of the device is also displayed
• Battery-operated: 500 doses per fully charged battery
• Two batteries included: so that one can be charged while the other is in use
• Waterproof: the exterior of the device can be rinsed under a tap
• The device can withstand autoclaving up to a maximum of 100°C for 60 minutes
• Robust and shock-proof casing, allows the IDAL to survive under farm conditions
• Officially registered for use with specific products with a specific dose volume (see elsewhere for details of products approved for use with the IDAL)
• The IDAL vaccinator is available through your local Intervet office
