EDAN VE-300 3-Channel Veterinary Electrocardiograph

The EDAN VE-300 is a portable, 3-channel veterinary electrocardiograph engineered to acquire 7-lead ECG signals simultaneously from animals, with a 3-channel representation on its integrated display and thermal printer. It is designed for use across large, medium, and small animal species, making it suitable for companion animal practices, equine work, and mixed veterinary clinics.

The device pairs a 3.5-inch LCD color screen with a waterproof membrane keyboard and a built-in high-resolution thermal printer, allowing ECG acquisition and hard-copy documentation in a single compact unit. Its fully digital signal path includes comprehensive filters for baseline drift, AC interference, and EMG noise, with automatic baseline adjustment to optimize printing position without manual re-centering between patients. Lead-off detection and display alert the user when an electrode loses contact, supporting acquisition quality in the field and in-clinic settings.

The VE-300 is powered by AC mains (100–115 V / 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz) or a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery (14.8 V, 2,200 mAh) , with approximately 6.5 hours of normal operation on battery, about 3 hours of continuous recording in Manual mode, and up to 330 reports in AUTO mode per charge. Internal storage holds 120 patient records, with data transfer via USB flash disk, Ethernet, or RS-232 and review through the optional Smart Viewer PC software.

Regulatory status: The VE-300 is a veterinary device, not a human medical device. GIMA Italy’s product listing explicitly classifies it as “No medical device” with no medical device class assigned. Some distributor listings reference CE marking and ISO 13485 certification for the manufacturing quality system, but the device is not positioned as a human diagnostic electrocardiograph under EU MDR or FDA 510(k) frameworks. No FDA 510(k) clearance specific to the VE-300 was identified in the public FDA database during preparation of this page, consistent with its veterinary intended use. Availability and labeling vary by market; confirm local import and use requirements before purchase.

The VE-300 is built for veterinarians who need a self-contained, battery-backed ECG recorder for 7-lead acquisition with 3-channel printout—without requiring a PC at the point of recording, while retaining the option to transfer records for digital review.

Key Features & Benefits

7-Lead Simultaneous Acquisition with 3-Channel Representation

The VE-300 gathers ECG signals from 7 leads simultaneously through veterinary surface electrodes, then presents and prints them in a 3-channel format. This allows the clinician to capture a multi-lead view in a single acquisition pass while keeping the printed report compact on standard thermal paper. The standard accessory set includes a 5-lead veterinary ECG cable with banana connectors (IEC) and a set of 5 reusable veterinary clip electrodes sized for small and medium patients.

Fully Digital Signal Chain with Comprehensive Filtering

The acquisition path includes selectable filters to address the noise sources most common in veterinary ECG:

• AC filter (on/off) for mains interference

• DFT filter at 0.05 / 0.15 / 0.25 / 0.32 / 0.5 / 0.67 Hz

• EMG filter at 25 / 35 / 45 Hz or off

• Low-pass filter at 150 / 100 / 75 Hz

These settings, combined with automatic baseline adjustment, support trace readability across different species and recording environments.

Built-In Thermal Printer with Multiple Recording Modes

The thermal dot-matrix recorder prints on 80 mm × 20 m roll paper at selectable speeds of 5, 6.25, 10, 12.5, 25, or 50 mm/s (±3%). Recording modes include Auto, Manual, Rhythm, OFF, and USBPRT, with a 60-second rhythm-lead recording available in Rhythm mode. An external USB inkjet printer can be connected for 12-lead report printing when a larger format is required.

Lead-Off Detection and One-Button Operation

Lead-off detection alerts the user when an electrode loses contact, supporting acquisition quality before the recording is committed. One-button operation simplifies the acquisition workflow for staff who perform ECGs intermittently, while the waterproof membrane keyboard supports routine cleaning between patients.

Approximately 6.5-Hour Battery with 330 AUTO Reports

The 14.8 V, 2,200 mAh lithium-ion battery supports approximately 6.5 hours of normal operation, about 3 hours of continuous recording in Manual mode, and up to 330 reports in AUTO mode, with a 5-hour charge time. The device can also run on AC mains when available.

120-Record Storage with USB/Ethernet/RS-232 Transfer

The VE-300 stores up to 120 patient records internally, with data transfer via USB flash disk, Ethernet, or RS-232. The optional Smart Viewer PC software (GIMA code 33336) provides ECG data review and management on a Windows PC.

Compact 2.5 kg Chassis with LCD Waveform Preview

At 300 × 260 × 75 mm and 2.5 kg (with battery) , the VE-300 is designed for transport between examination rooms, stable, and field locations. The 192 × 64-pixel LCD displays waveforms and parameter settings, with internal software available in GB, IT, DE, FR, and ES (additional languages on request).

Veterinary-Specific Intended Use

The VE-300 is intended to acquire ECG signals from animals through body surface ECG electrodes, and is intended to be used only in hospitals or healthcare facilities by doctors and trained healthcare professionals. It is not a human medical device and should not be used for human diagnostic purposes.
