A 12.1-inch six-parameter veterinary monitor with optional capnography, dual-channel IBP and central-station networking for routine surgical, ICU and recovery monitoring.
Product Overview
The VM12 is a 12.1-inch tabletop multi-parameter monitor built for everyday surgical and inpatient monitoring. It delivers ECG, SpO2, NIBP, RESP, TEMP and HR/PR as standard on a high-brightness LCD behind a black full-mirror front panel, with dedicated diagnostic, monitoring and surgical working modes.
Measurement algorithms are tuned to animal physiology: NIBP uses anti-weak-signal and anti-interference processing matched to animal blood flow, SpO2 is optimised for weak perfusion, and the ECG algorithm identifies multiple arrhythmias. The platform scales with the case load through optional mainstream or sidestream ETCO2, dual-channel IBP, a built-in recorder, trolley or wall-bracket mounting, and networking to a central monitoring system.
Key Features
- 12.1-inch high-brightness LCD behind a black full-mirror front panel
- Six standard parameters: ECG, SpO2, NIBP, RESP, TEMP, HR/PR
- Three working modes — diagnostic, monitoring and surgical — matched to the clinical setting
- Display modes: standard, large character, trend graph and NIBP list, with multi-lead ECG on one screen
- Animal-specific NIBP algorithm with anti-weak-signal and anti-interference processing
- SpO2 anti-interference and weak-perfusion technology; ECG arrhythmia identification
- Quick alarm setup; networks to a central monitoring system
- Fanless, low-power design with 0.75 m drop resistance and tolerance to a wide range of cleaning and disinfecting agents
- Optional mainstream or sidestream ETCO2, dual-channel IBP and built-in recorder

Why Choose the VM12
- Workflow: three working modes and quick alarm setup let staff switch between consult, theatre and ward settings without reconfiguring the unit
- Workflow: central-station networking consolidates several beds on one screen
- Clinical accuracy: animal-specific NIBP, weak-perfusion SpO2 and arrhythmia identification deliver stable readings on small and uncooperative patients
- Clinical accuracy: optional ETCO2 and dual-channel IBP extend the unit to full anaesthetic monitoring
- Practice economics: fanless, low-power design with 0.75 m drop resistance reduces service interventions over the life of the unit
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
- Can the VM12 be fitted with a touch screen?
- No. The VM12 is operated through front-panel keys and a rotary knob. Where a touch screen is required, the VP12 and VM14Pro offer it as an option.
- Which ETCO2 technologies are available?
- Both mainstream and sidestream ETCO2 are available as options, covering intubated and spontaneously breathing patients.
- Does it support invasive blood pressure?
- Yes. Dual-channel IBP is available as an option, with a range of −50 to 300 mmHg.
- Can it be connected to a central station?
- Yes. The VM12 networks to a central monitoring system through its rear network port.
- Which patients does it cover?
- The VM12 is configured for small, medium and large animals, including canine and feline patients across the full body-weight range.
