Welcome to the SunTech Vet25E
Thank you for choosing the Vet25E vital signs monitor! For over 30 years, SunTech Medical has been the preeminent
supplier of leading edge technology and innovative products to obtain blood pressure (BP) measurements.
Developed specifically for the veterinary care environment, the Vet25E can perform automatic BP measurements for
veterinary professionals.
For measuring BP, a BP cuff is placed around the patient’s forelimb or tail. The cuff is inflated automatically and
blood pressure is determined by the oscillometric method, which senses pressure waves in the artery when occluded
by pressure in the cuff. Measurement of the frequency of the pressure waves enables heart rate to also be measured.
The Vet25E is a portable device, weighing approximately 2.1 lb (952 g). Control buttons allow the user to turn on or
off the device and stop/start a BP measurement. The touchscreen display shows the device status and measurement
information, and allows for selection of settings. The device uses a microprocessor with software, which is not
accessible to the user. The unit is powered by a single rechargeable lithium-ion battery at the bottom of the device.
Bluetooth can be used to wirelessly connect and send data to a PC application, which may be downloaded from the
SunTech website at: https://www.suntechmed.com/Vet25E-data-capture.Upper and lower alarm limits can be set for
all parameters.
Intended Use
The SunTech Vet25E and Vet30E monitors are clinical grade automated blood pressure measurement devices that
provide oscillometric non-invasive blood pressure. The Vet30E provides additional pulse oximetry and temperature
measurement capabilities. These portable devices are for use in the veterinary clinic on companion animals (cats and
dogs) and horses. The devices can be used for spot-check or continuous monitoring activities. They are not intended
for human use.
The devices are contraindicated for use on humans or any species other than those described above.
Vet25E Essential Performance
The Essential Performance of the Vet25E is designed to measure, record, and display a patient’s blood pressure
within a blood pressure accuracy range of +/- 5 mmHg mean error & 8mm Hg standard deviation (max inflate 280
mmHg).
User Responsibility
The Vet25E is designed to perform in conformity with the description thereof contained in this operation manual
when operated. This operation manual is for use with Vet25E model M25E. The user of this monitor shall have the
sole responsibility for any malfunction which results from improper use, faulty maintenance, improper repair, damage
or alteration by anyone other than SunTech Medical or their authorized service personnel. The Vet25E is for use only

5. Blood Pressure Measurement
5.1 Cuff Sizing
The SunTech Vet25E comes with a variety of different BP cuff sizes. Each cuff contains important markings that help
with selecting the right cuff size. These are SunTech designed symbols.
Make sure this part of cuff is placed over the patient’s artery.
When the cuff is wrapped around the patient’s limb or base of the tail, its Index Marker should fall
within this line.
When you wrap the cuff around the patient’s limb or base of the tail, the Index Marker should fall within
the Range Marker on the inside of the cuff.
Indicates limb/tail circumference range of the cuff.
Not made with natural rubber latex.

80-0083-00-RevB SunTech Vet25E User Manual | 17
2019-12-04
Not made with PVC.
TIP: When more than one cuff size fits the limb, always choose the larger size for more accurate measurements.
When a cuff is too small, it can cause BP values to be overestimated.
An alternative sizing method is to measure the circumference of the limb and choose a cuff whose width is 40% of
the circumference for dogs and 30% for cats.
5.2 Applying the Cuff and Taking a BP Measurement on Small Animals
WARNING: The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.
SunTech recommends that the cuff be placed on a front limb while the patient is lying on the right or left side. This
helps ensure that the cuff is at heart level, which is best for measurement accuracy. Also, the patient is less likely to
retract the front limb when the cuff gently squeezes it during the measurement. The cuff should be placed so that its
artery marker aligns with the limb artery.
Alternate Patient Positioning: If the patient seems more comfortable seated, position the cuff as described above
and hold up the limb during the BP measurement. This will help keep the cuff at heart level and relax the patient’s
muscles. If the patient appears agitated enough to bite or scratch, or is standing, the base of the tail is an acceptable
alternate location.
1. Position patient so that they are lying down, seated, or held. Place the cuff on the limb making sure not to place it
over a joint. Connect cuff hose to monitor hose.
TIP: The success of the BP measurement is dependent on choosing the correct cuff and attaching it to the patient
correctly. The cuff is the sensor so make sure to snugly fit the cuff as this provides better signals to the monitor.
2. Press the Power Button to turn on the Vet25E. Select appropriate animal size.
TIP: To change animal size after initial selection, touch the Animal Selection icon on Main Screen to toggle between
Large and Small. For more information on selecting animal size, see Section 4.
3. If patient is awake, allow patient to acclimate for approximately 5 minutes in a quiet area. Press START/STOP
button to start blood pressure measurement. START/STOP button turns blue during measurement. Reading is
complete when START/STOP button returns to magenta. Main Screen will show systolic (SYS) and diastolic (DIA)
values, plus mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in beats per minute.
TIP: During a BP reading, the Icon Menu is not available. To access the Icon Menu, either wait until the BP reading is
complete or stop the reading by pressing the START/STOP button.
TIP: When a BP reading is in progress, pressing the START/STOP button will immediately stop the measurement and
deflate the cuff.
TIP: For information on averaging BP measurements, see Section 8.2.
5.3 Applying the Cuff and Taking a BP Measurement on Horses
WARNING: The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.

80-0083-00-RevB SunTech Vet25E User Manual | 18
2019-12-04
SunTech recommends that the cuff is placed at the base of the tail.
1. Position patient so that the base of the tail is at the same height as the heart. Wrap the cuff around the base of the
tail. Connect cuff hose to monitor hose.
TIP: The success of the BP measurement is dependent on choosing the correct cuff and attaching it to the patient
correctly. The cuff is the sensor so make sure to snugly fit the cuff as this provides better signals to the monitor.
2. Press the Power Button to turn on the Vet25E. Select equine mode.
3. If patient is awake, allow patient to acclimate for approximately 5 minutes in a quiet area. Press START/STOP
button to start blood pressure measurement. START/STOP button turns blue during measurement. Reading is
complete when START/STOP button returns to magenta. Main Screen will show systolic (SYS) and diastolic (DIA)
values, plus mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in beats per minute.
