VM2 2.4-inch Veterinary Handheld Pulse Oximeter

Product Overview

The VM2 is the compact entry to our handheld pulse oximetry range. It measures SpO2 and pulse rate through the tongue or ear using photoelectric oxyhemoglobin detection, and shows values and the plethysmogram in real time on a 2.4-inch high-resolution TFT screen.

At 127 × 67 × 27 mm and 190 g, it fits in a coat pocket for ward rounds, triage, house calls and ambulatory work. A temperature channel is available as an option, and data can be transferred to compatible analysis software.

Why Choose the VM2

• Workflow efficiency: pocket-size, powered on in seconds, carried on every ward round and house call
• Clinical accuracy: motion-artifact rejection and weak-perfusion performance support readings on conscious and poorly perfused patients
• Practice economics: an SpO2 check at every station without committing a full monitor; choose the VM4 when a larger 4-inch display is needed

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

Where is the sensor placed?

On the tongue or the ear. Tongue placement is typical in sedated or anesthetized patients.

Can it measure temperature?

Yes, with the SpO2 + PR + temperature configuration: 0–50 °C with ±0.1 °C accuracy.

How long does the battery last?

The rechargeable lithium version provides up to 4 hours of continuous SpO2 monitoring under the stated test conditions.

How does the VM2 differ from the VM4?

The VM2 has a 2.4-inch screen in a pocket-size body for spot-checks and mobile work. The VM4 has a larger 4-inch screen for easier reading at a distance during procedures and recovery.

Is it suitable for large animals?

The application range covers canine, feline and equine patients.
