we have a vetstat (used to have vetlyte bit this has got shifted off to our other branch!). love the vestat tho, really easy to use. only prob is you have to calibrate it every day which can get forgotton and then the machine gets really cranky! theres no fiddling about having to come out of standby mode either like you do with the vetlyte. you can just run a sample straight away with minimal info if you have an emergency.

We have a vet stat.

Really easy to use, doesnt need much blood (0.3ml usually) and delivers results quickly!

I've used both!

Aint used the vetlyte for a few years (5)!!!

Vetlyte only measures: Na, K, Cl.

Where as with the vetstat you can measure lots more.....

The following bullet points show what the different cassettes test. the machine works independently from the vettest machine too, has an internal battery and therefore portable if needed in wards or theatre for monitoring critical patients

Electrolytes: Na+, K+, Cl–

Fluid Therapy/Acid-Base: pH, PCO2, HCO3, anion gap, Na+, K+, Cl–, TCO2

Respiratory/Blood Gas: pH, PO2, PCO2, HCO3, anion gap, Na+ , K+, Cl–, TCO2

Ionised Calcium: Ca++

Glucose: GLU

We mainly keep the Electrolyte and blood gas cassettes in, but as we expand our medicine service may end up using the other cassettes.

Also can use whole blood either venous or arterial samples.
