What sets the Cardell® technology apart from other non-invasive blood pressure monitors?
Cardell technology is specifically designed for animals. Sharn Veterinary pioneered automated blood pressure monitoring for the veterinary market. In 1991, we worked with Johnson & Johnson’s Critikon Company to bring veterinarians the gold standard and top selling human blood pressure monitor, the Dinamap. In the early years, we expanded the heart rate range beyond human protocols to 250 bpm, and expanded the selection of cuff sizes to accommodate the smaller limbs on animals. In 1999, the Dinamap was discontinued for veterinary use. With the experience and knowledge of the limitations that oscillometric technology had in veterinary medicine, we found a new manufacturer and worked with them to re-engineer the algorithms so that the monitor would detect oscillations even in the small vessels of cats and kittens, and expanded the heart rate range to 300 bpm. The result has been a reputation as the best non-invasive blood pressure technology in veterinary medicine.
