Couldn&#39;t be happier with it - turns on quickly, battery life reasonable, accurate, has waveform, not heavy or clunky. If I see another at that price I&#39;ll snap it up too as is very good piece of kit in my opinion.</p> <p>Has had a tonne of use already in just a few weeks. I&#39;ll be very sad when someone drops it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/242241?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 Aug 2023 08:10:10 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:9c9c7df8-b21e-48e2-97da-e4f6e4933297Dinu Catilina<p>Yes and no. We bought one when we opened the practice, we had no money for anything else. It works well but the capnograph keeps breaking down and it takes longer to start reading than other machines. Since then we upgraded but we still have the contec, we use it to monitor recoveries and ECG in kennels. I have it for 4 years and it still works except for the capnograph.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/242238?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:22:11 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:35ced2c8-e80e-4361-a565-b9e5f66afd1eMichael Woodhouse<p>Probably.
