O'NEILL MEDICALIA has over 38 years of experience in servicing all types of veterinary anaesthetic equipment. Our servicing charges are very competitive indeed, and are generally 20% cheaper than our main competitors. We carry a huge range of spare parts and are proud to say that we rarely need to 'condemn' machines that are less than 30 years old. We offer a comprehensive equipment management and servicing programme for Anaesthetic Machines and Vaporizers. Below are examples of the standard RCVS compliant documentation & certification that we issue free-of-charge after annual servicing. We also place an adhesive label on every item listed, showing when the next routine service is due. This package is designed to satisfy the requirements of the RCVS Scheme, Insurers, and the Health and Safety Inspectorate, thereby greatly reducing the administrative burden on Veterinary Practices. We also offer a service-exchange scheme for Vaporizers, thereby minimising down-time. Please telephone 0151 708 5268 for instant quote.
