HDO™ Springs-to-Life
(with VET HDO™ MDPro® Software)
This modest but perfectly crafted device outwardly shows an LCD numeric display
showing Systolic, Diastolic, Mean Arterial Pressure and Pulse - however, this unit
springs-to-life when coupled with a Windows Computer or Tablet (Connection is
by USB in the standard version and by BlueTooth in the deluxe version)
The free lifetime software that comes with the system - shows off the true nature
of HDO's capabilities - you will now be able to monitor in "real-time" pulse
recognition waves and the laminar flow throughout the cuff deflation.
Double Check - Validation Graph
VET HDO™ MDPro® software will allow you to spot any undue artefacts that
may affect the reading (if you like it is an operators visual double check to
ensure that your data is valid). No other system on the market would allow you
to do this. The Validation Graph allows you to feel comfortable with your data.
Is it super simple to use?
HDO™ system is clever enough to know, the pulse rate of the patient and to
automatically set its own parameters to give you the best reading possible -
for that specific patient.
VET HDO™ MDPro® works out the pulse rate and cardiac output, to then
adjust cuff deflation rate, and the gain needed to view the pulse identification
amplitudes, at the optimum rate.
So the answer is YES, HDO™ sets its own parameters so you can concentrate
on your patient throughout the reading.
Simply apply the cuff to the patients base of the tail - no need to shave (the
Coccygeal Artery is the most suitable cuff site for reliable BP measurement6)
- and press START.
(NB Cuffs can also be applied to the limbs if necessary)
The above PC screen shot of an actual HDO
measurement shows:
Pre-systolic waves followed by amplitudes with
slightly increasing height. Then relaxation of
the arterial wall then further more dominant
increases in height.
Then initiation (SAP) and increase of blood
flow. Due to turbulent flow, the amplitudes
increases to a maximum, which is close to MAP.
The reading then shows a decrease of
amplitude size due to a change from turbulent
to laminar flow - reaching DAP and finally, the
complete open artery.
