INTRODUCING FOR VETERINARY CLINICIANS A new standard in veterinary-specific automated blood pressure and ECG. (From the company that still provides American quality and reliable service.) While monitoring companies you have relied on in the past are now assembling and re-labeling Chinese human products, SystemVET™ is continuing to have all our veterinary monitors manufactured by a proven American monitor manufacturer who provides documented manufacturing quality and qualified equipment repair by trained biomedical repair technicians. The VetTrends™ monitors are a welcome alternative to confusing human imports. For more information, contact: SystemVET™, 12157 W. Linebaugh Ave., Tampa, FL 33626 Fax: 813.855.7029 • Phone: 813.925.0203 E-mail: sales@systemvet.com • Visit: www.vetmonitors.com
