SunTech Vet40 9 questions

How many measurements can I store in Memory?

You can store up to 960 of the most recent measurements.

How do I delete data from memory?

Select the data you wish to delete and touch the Delete button. Before the data is permanently deleted, you will be asked to confirm or cancel the deletion. See section 10.1 for more information.

For medium-sized dogs, which animal mode do I choose?

Use the cuff size as the determining factor. If a #3 cuff or smaller is the best fit, choose small animal mode. If #4 cuff or larger, choose large animal mode.

How do I choose the correct cuff size?

Wrap the cuff around the patient’s limb and make sure the index line falls within the range marker. If two different cuff sizes fit the patient, choose the larger size. See section 5.1 for more information.

How long will the battery last?

During continuous monitoring of SpO₂ and temperature, with an Interval BP set for every 5 minutes, a fully charged battery should last at least 4 hours before requiring recharging. If only taking manual BP measurements, a fully charged battery should last for at least 150 BP measurements before requiring recharging. Fully charging the battery should take under 6 hours. Battery life is dependent on the screen display ON time. To maximize life, SunTech suggests changing the Power Management setting to 5 minutes.

Can I use this monitor on awake and anesthetized animals?

Yes. The Vet40 can be used on anesthetized animals as well as awake animals.

How do I keep the cuff from slipping down the limb or coming off?

First ensure the cuff has a snug fit. Extra attention will be needed on species with dense or thick fur. If the cuff does not stay attached, check and clean the hook & loop or replace the cuff.

Are there other power options?

Yes. The device is provided with a plug-in power supply that recharges the internal battery when connected. When the monitor is not connected to the power supply, the battery will allow the unit to be portable for use.

What are the minimum and maximum cat and dog weights when taking measurements with the Vet40?

There are none. Any cat or dog that has a limb that fits within the cuff ranges is acceptable.
