Where the machines differ is while the VSA-2100 is a tried and true machine – not requiring electricity, it doesn’t have the sophistication or internal monitoring of the EX-3000. The EX-3000 features a color touchscreen with a Time, Date and Case Clock, as well as other user adjustable parameters.

The EX3000 has a touchscreen flowmeter while the VSA-2100 has a traditional dial flowmeter. Additionally, the pressure of the EX3000 is measured and displayed electronically while the VSA-2100 is measured and displayed with a mechanical gauge.

The EX-3000 features cutting edge electronic monitoring, protecting you and your patients from accidental injury or worse.

The top 5 things that lead to accidents and injury:

1. Excessive Pressure to the Lungs
2. Excessive Anesthetic
3. Lack of Oxygen to the Brain
4. Lack of CO2 Removal
5. Foreign Matter Entering the Airway

And like all our products, the electronic monitoring on the EX-3000 is ultra-reliable. Having been on the market worldwide for over 9 years, the number of problems has been incredibly low. In fact, we can count on one hand the number of electronic boards that have had issues.

The VSA-2100 and EX-3000 also differ in their anesthetic delivery vehicles. While the VSA-2100 utilizes an agent vaporizer, connected via a universal mounting block (that accepts a Vetland D20, Drager 19, Tec3, Tec4, Ohio, or Penlon); The EX3000 has two funnel fill (keyfill option) agent chambers internally to deliver temperature and pressure compensated flow. The EX3000 self-verifies the output is accurate, as dialed by the user, every second.

It all depends on what’s most ideal for you and your business. The EX-3000 is the future of veterinary anesthesia, and the VSA-2100 is the tried and true old faithful. You can’t go wrong with either product! If you have any more questions, check out the product pages or shoot us an email.

At Vetland Medical, we love innovation almost as much as we love making products that improve the lives of our veterinarians and especially our pets.  We continually strive to improve our products in order to provide the veterinary community with the equipment that will ultimately refine veterinary anesthesia and veterinary medicine.

Because anesthesia can be a frightening event- and in some circumstances, life threatening – safety is of the utmost importance.  With the emphasis on safety in mind, Vetland Medical designed the Landmark EX3000 – the future of veterinary anesthesia. The EX3000 is the only electronic dual-drug delivery system in the world for veterinary use.

The EX3000 was modeled off of human-use anesthesia machines and was built to increase anesthetic accuracy and decrease errors and fatalities.   The visual and audible alarms on the EX3000 alert clinicians of any anesthetic risk parameters, making them easy to correct before they become medical emergencies.

The EX3000 Monitors the following top 5 risk parameters:

・ Oxygen Supply Pressure Monitor

・ Breathing Pressure Monitor

・ Apnea Monitor and audible breath sounds

・ Anesthetic drug monitor

・ Anesthetic concentration monitor for Isoflurane and Sevoflurane

Some common issues that may occur are:

・ The oxygen tank runs empty

・ The Pop Off valve is inadvertently left closed

・ The vaporizer is inadvertently left at induction levels

・ The breathing valve malfunctions or vaporizers malfunction

For these and many other clinical scenarios, the EX3000 will alert the clinician who can quickly and safely correct the errors – resulting in less anesthetic accidents and deaths.

At Vetland Medical, we consider our pets to be family and we know you do too. We have worked tirelessly for many years to develop the smartest, most accurate and safest veterinary anesthesia machines in the world and we have definitely set the bar high with the EX3000!

At the 2015 Western Veterinary Conference, we received some very positive customer reviews on the Landmark EX3000 anesthesia system.  The EX3000 is the only electronic dual drug delivery system on the market today.  The EX3000 is the fastest growing choice among veterinarians for good reason – it was designed to be compact, well balanced and able to withstand the rigors of everyday clinical use.  Furthermore, this system features cutting edge technology that allows for a safer, more powerful system.

Has this ever happened to you?

• The oxygen tank runs empty
• The Pop Off valve is inadvertently left closed
• The vaporizer is inadvertently left at induction levels
• The breathing valve malfunctions or vaporizers malfunction

Delays in recognition of adverse conditions are no longer a matter of life and death.  The EX3000 alerts users for these and many other clinical scenarios before they become emergencies.

The EX3000 monitors the top 5 anesthetic risk parameters and provides visual and audible alarms

1. Oxygen Supply Pressure Monitor
2. Breathing Pressure Monitor
3. Apnea Monitor and audible breath sounds
4. Anesthetic drug monitor
5. Anesthetic concentration monitor for Isoflurane and Sevoflurane

The main features of the EX3000 include:

• High accuracy dual drug delivery (Iso-Sevo)
• Color touchscreen display
• Continuous self-testing verifies proper function
• Battery backup
• User configurable
• 24x7x365 Vetland Medical Technical Support
