A 12.1-inch modular veterinary monitor that expands from six core parameters to full anaesthetic-gas, capnography and invasive-pressure monitoring through plug-in modules.
Product Overview
The VP12 is the modular member of the range: a 12.1-inch monitor with a dual-slot plug-in design that accepts IBP, mainstream or sidestream ETCO2 and anaesthetic gas (AG) modules. ECG, NIBP, SpO2, RESP, dual-channel TEMP and HR/PR are standard; BIS, a touch screen and a built-in recorder are available as options.
The AG module measures CO2, N2O, sevoflurane, isoflurane and enflurane, giving the anaesthetist agent concentrations on the same screen as haemodynamics. A 600 MHz DSP co-processing core, 96-hour trend review, external USB storage and VGA/HDMI output make the VP12 suited to theatre, ICU and teaching environments where anaesthetic depth and ventilation must be documented.

Clinical Applications
- Inhalation anaesthesia monitoring of sevoflurane, isoflurane, enflurane and N2O via the AG module
- Anaesthetic depth assessment with optional BIS
- Invasive arterial pressure monitoring for high-risk canine and feline anaesthesia
- Ventilation assessment with mainstream or sidestream capnography in intubated and spontaneously breathing patients
- ICU and critical-care surveillance with 96-hour trend review
- Teaching and referral theatres, using VGA/HDMI output to a secondary display
Workflow & Installation Notes
- Select the module set at order: IBP, ETCO2 and AG occupy the dual plug-in slots; configuring ETCO2 and IBP together requires an additional plug-in module box
- Sensor connectors on the side panel; USB, video, network, grounding and AC power on the rear panel
- Connect a secondary display through VGA or HDMI for theatre or teaching use
- Export records to external USB storage for case documentation
- Integrated carry handle; place on a bench or mount on the optional trolley or wall bracket
- 4000 mAh battery maintains monitoring during patient transfer and power interruptions

Why Choose the VP12
- Workflow: one monitor carries haemodynamics, capnography and anaesthetic agents, removing a separate gas analyser from the anaesthesia station
- Workflow: 96-hour trends, USB export and alarm-triggered printing support complete anaesthetic records
- Clinical accuracy: agent-specific AG readings and optional BIS support precise titration of inhalant anaesthesia
- Clinical accuracy: defibrillation and electrosurgical-interference protection keep traces readable during surgery
- Practice economics: modules are added as the case mix grows, so the practice purchases only the capability it uses today
Warranty & Support
Warranty terms for the main unit are confirmed at the time of order. Probes, cuffs, cables and other accessories follow standard wear-item terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which anaesthetic agents does the AG module measure?
- CO2, N2O, sevoflurane, isoflurane and enflurane, with the ranges and accuracies listed in the AG specification table.
- Can ETCO2 and IBP be installed at the same time?
- Yes. Configuring both requires an additional plug-in module box alongside the main unit.
- Is a touch screen available?
- Yes. The touch screen is an ordering option on the VP12.
- How long does the battery last?
- The brochure specifies a 4000 mAh lithium battery with more than 4 hours of backup time. Confirm the battery supplied with your configuration at the time of order.
- How does the VP12 differ from the VM12?
- Both use a 12.1-inch display. The VP12 adds the modular slot system with AG and BIS options, an optional touch screen, VGA/HDMI output and 96-hour trend review; the VM12 is the key-and-knob general-purpose model with ETCO2 and dual IBP options.
