Description

The Renco® Preg-Tone® is For Use On Swine, Sheep or Goats. NOT FOR USE ON CATTLE.

The Renco® Preg-Tone® is a fast, safe and accurate ultrasonic pregnancydetectorcan be used for swine, sheep, alpacas, meat anddairy goats, pygmy goats,llamas, large rabbits, foxes, and many other animals over 8 pounds. It does not need to be seen or held during testing.

It uses ultrasound to detect amniotic fluid present duringpregnancy. When this fluid is detected, the instrument produces a loud, continuous tone. If the animal is not pregnant, it produces an intermittent recurring tone. 100% accurate between 30 and 45 days depending on the animal type.

Duringtesting, no lights are used, no buttons arepushed, thus attention isnot diverted from the animal. Since it uses only loud, easy to heartones to indicate both pregnancyand non-pregnancy, it can be clipped onthe belt or kept in a pocket.

The rechargeable NiMH battery pack willlast for years, and give many hours oftesting on one charge. It automatically turns itself off whenthe battery needsrecharging, protecting the user against erroneousreadings due toinsufficient power. A wall plugcharger is supplied. Input Specifications: 100-240VAC 50/60Hz .2A.includes wall plugs for major countries
