We have a Huntleigh doppler kit - works well and good support when we needed a spare bit
Quite a few people seem to like the Parks unit
The Thames one seemed fine but quite a large footprint probe to fit over the metacarpal pulse

Good to know. I don't have any problem with our current machine- just checking that there isn't anything better out there!

Many thanks all!

We've got 3 Thames Medical Kits to cover all our branches. Working well and we're all happy with them.

We've been using the 'Thames Medical' Doppler blood pressure kit for a few years (The one in the blue case!) I want to get another stand-alone BP machine - does anyone have any experience of using different machines, and anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks

We have the same one as you and are generally happy with it and the results it gives.

The Ebay items are sold specifically for veterinary use. What, if any testing/accreditation these have is anybody's guess!

Thanks Bob - noted!

I thought that human machines didn't transfer very well to animal use?

We bought MedVet monitors from VetDirect many years ago but generally negative comments from specialists have resulted in a loss of confidence in the results!

Does not help that the almost incomprehensible (and very elderly) software does not run on Windows 10.

Look good though!!

(E bay have monitors for $49 though including software!!!)

Edited because HDO is the new version it seems but looks the same.
