Multi Parameter Monitor


The new Multi Parameter Monitor has turned up and it looks great. It has ECG, NIBP, SpO2 and two temperature sensors. There is also a CO2 option which isn't included this time due to the extra cost. The screen is very large while the device is quite small. Many companies sell Medical Multi Parameter monitors to vet clinics, but these monitors are not really suited to a vet environment. This monitor has been specially designed for veterinary use - note the top left heading shows CAT. The patient can be set to CAT, DOG or HORSE. This monitor also has a ethernet and USB port so it can be connected up to the network, and viewed through a web browser. Anyway, we have asked five vets to test out the monitor and all of them said yes. Email us for more info.

VETSENS-P04 veterinary pulse oximeter with excellent pickup


Some more VETSENS-P04 pulse oximeters have arrived, and we noticed these pulse oximeters have excellent pickup. The VETSENS-P04 comes with two probes - one probe with a long clip for larger animals and another probe with a short clip for smaller animals. The smaller clip (with sleeves removed) can pick up a pulse rate easily on an ear lobe so it should work well on small animals.

Some other features are:
- Trend logging
- auto power off
- optional remote program with USB cable
- metal stand
- rubber side grips
- durable tactile buttons
- an overall professional finish
- two ranges of pulse rate 25-200 & 120-410bpm.
- PI (perfusion index) which indicates the strength of a pulse signal

The VETSENS-P04 is around twice the price of a VETSENS-P02 but with the all extra features, it is excellent value.
