This is a good forum for advice, manuals etc. on medical kit like drip pumps, monitors etc. and the frequent poster here is with Southwest Medical and very helpful.

We have two Datex Cardiocap II's - very long in the tooth but built like tanks and perform brilliantly. In view of their age we keep expecting one to pack up but it keeps soldiering on!

Datex machines are fantastic and cheap - at £2-2.5k for ecg gases (O2 nitrous CO2) NIBP and SPO2 + expandable with other gases/direct art bp modules..we have 2 and looking to get another one. southwest medical seem to be a good place to buy them from!

Keep an eye out on ebay. I bought one for less than £200. Second hand Datex machine. They were using similar when I was a student at college.

A lot of these vet ones look quite 'cheap' with high pricetags IMHO

This is identical to my one from ebay

Will feel less sad than if I had paid thousands and it broke.....

We have had a Surgivet 'Advisor' from Burtons for quite a number of years which is simple to run and has done sterling service; however I'm sure they have newer models.

Beware the ultra-cheapos on the net from China as often the build quality is poor and don't even think about trying to find a UK service agent...
