Introduction
All the information that will be needed to use and maintain the L-Pet Veterinary
Lactate Meter is included in this manual. Please read it carefully before using the

Lactate results can be used to detect local or systemic hypoperfusion and
monitor response to therapy. There is also a strong correlation between lactate
concentration and mortality. Due to its reliable and accurate result evaluation
(in-vitro), the L-Pet Veterinary Lactate Meter is suitable for use in the support of
the decision for further medical treatment of the patient. The L-Pet Veterinary
