We are concidering moveing to Istat Anyinity or Epoc. Anyone got any thoughts/usefull advice/tuppences to throw in. Thanks again! en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/199743?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:07:22 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a6688dfb-0501-40e4-a445-5011322755dcAndrew Kent<p>I&#39;m not a big fan of the EPOC as it seemed challenging to get it to work and there was a high card failure rate in my hands. I like the iSTAT but agree many of them are reaching a certain age.</p> <p>There has been a relaunch of the IRMA which is meant to be easier to use with very reliable methodology. I think some of the cartridges are still in development but may be worth a look if you are not in too much of a rush.</p> <p>Andy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/199742?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 10 Jul 2018 14:50:49 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:206df294-647b-4815-8248-8b9634822ecfRob Loxley<p>Istat 2?; though is &#39;getting old&#39; alone always a reason to upgrade?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/199741?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 10 Jul 2018 13:50:13 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2eb86a80-db2e-4d08-b74c-e224ef263ce0Marie Kubiak<p>We have had major issues with services from Woodley so be cautious if you are reliant on them for parts/service/cartridges</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
