Probo Veterinary recently partnered with Altin Cala, founder of AltinVet, to support the expansion of his cardiology specialist business by supplying a new ultrasound system perfectly suited to his field-based work.

AltinVet is a mobile veterinary service founded by Altin Cala, specialising in small animal cardiology. With a focus on delivering expert cardiac care directly to veterinary practices, AltinVet provides diagnostic services such as echocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG), and cardiology consultations. Currently, AltinVet covers Slough, Reading, Basingstoke, Newbury, Oxford, Aylesbury, Bicester, Banbury, and surrounding regions.

Altin first reached out to Pete Lockwood, a Veterinary Sales Manager at Probo, to arrange a demonstration of an ultrasound system that, at a first glance, Altin thought would complement his business needs. Throughout his visit with Pete at Probo’s Gloucester site, Altin tested the Mindray M11 alongside the GE Vivid IQ to work out exactly what he needed from a new ultrasound system. After spending some time with the systems comparing image quality and discussing their features, Altin decided that Mindray M11 would best fit his needs as a peripatetic Veterinary Cardiologist.

The Mindray Vetus M11 is a portable ultrasound system designed to meet the needs of veterinary professionals working in both clinical and field environments. Its compact, laptop-style design makes it easy to transport and set up, while still offering high-quality imaging across a range of applications including cardiac, abdominal, and reproductive scans. The M11 provides consistent image clarity, which is essential for accurate diagnosis. Its long battery life and durable build make it particularly useful for mobile practitioners who need reliable equipment on the go. In addition to its portability, the system includes a variety of veterinary-specific tools that help streamline workflows and support efficient decision-making in busy or time-sensitive settings.

With this in mind, the system enables Altin to travel across his patch with ease, delivering his services efficiently and confidently, thanks to the versatility and unique advantages of the Mindray M11. With his mobile model, Altin needed an ultrasound system that offers flexibility and accessibility, enabling him to carry out specialist cardiac assessments directly at veterinary practices, which then removes the need for pet owners to travel to a referral hospital. The M11’s lightweight design, long battery life, and high-quality imaging make it particularly well-suited to this kind of field-based work. Its veterinary-specific features and reliable performance help ensure that Altin can deliver accurate and timely diagnoses, even in busy or varied clinical environments.

Following the successful implementation of the Mindray Vetus M11 into Altin’s veterinary business, he said:

"I recently purchased a Mindray M11 veterinary ultrasound machine for my peripatetic cardiology service, and the support I received from Pete Lockwood was outstanding. As a veterinarian himself, he combines deep knowledge with incredible responsiveness. Every time I had a question, he provided clear answers and practical solutions very promptly. His professionalism and dedication made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and I can’t recommend him and the company highly enough. I’d also like to give a big thank you to Cristi Georgian Glavan and Earl Kirosingh for their excellent support throughout the process."

Following on from Altin’s purchase, he opted to use Probo’s reputable aftersales service to ensure the longevity of his new equipment. This will also give him peace of mind that he will always have trusted expert engineers in his corner if there ever were a breakdown or fault with the system.
