Centre Hospitalier Vétérinaire Frégis
A Legacy of Excellence to Modern Upgrade
Frégis Veterinary Hospital, a storied institution founded in 1836, has long been a beacon of veterinary excellence.
In 1980, it became Europe's 1st private hospital with dedicated emergency and critical care unit.
Today, known as the Top 1 veterinary referral hospital in France, Frégis has the largest team of specialists allowing comprehensive, multidisciplinary and continuity of care.
In 2023, Frégis embarked on a transformative journey, relocating to a state-of-the-art facility spanning 3000 square meters.
This new hospital, with over 200 staffs, is equipped wit advanced technology and encompasses 13 veterinary specialties, addressing a wide array of medical needs.
Among these professionals, 130 doctors and nurses are devoted to provide 24/7 care to over 25,000 patients per year, which demonstrates the high demand, urgency and intensity of the services provided.

To meet the diverse and demanding needs of its various departments, including emergency, medical imaging, patient transportation, operating rooms, nurse station and ICU, Frégis has integrated advanced solutions from Mindray Animal Medical.
These products are not only known for their high performance but also for their seamless interconnectivity, forming the backbone for the new-height safety of Frégis.
All in One Hospital: Advanced Solutions for Diverse Veterinary Needs
Emergency Department
In the fast-paced environment of the emergency department, the ability to quickly and accurately diagnose and treat patients is crucial. Mindray's devices play a pivotal role here.
The Vetus E7 portable ultrasound is particularly noteworthy. Its portability allows for rapid imaging at the bedside, providing immediate insights into the patient's condition and enabling swift decision-making.
Dr. Maxime Cambournac
DipECVECC, Head of the Emergency and Intensive Care Dept.
Ultrasound is now an essential technology in emergency and intensive care. The Venus E7 allows us to obtain results directly at the patient's bedside simply, quickly, and efficiently.
Medical Imaging
CT scans are essential for diagnosing and treating critically ill patients by providing detailed images that help identify internal injuries and complex diseases, enabling swift and accurate medical decisions.
Safe and reliable anesthesia and monitoring are crucial during these procedures: the Veta 5 anesthesia machine delivers precise anesthesia, minimizing complications, while the uMEC12 Vet monitor tracks vital signs in real-time. Integrating these devices into a cohesive system enhances emergency management and response, ensuring seamless connectivity and facilitating better communication and coordination among the veterinary team.
Dr. Eymeric Gomes
DipECVDI, Head of Imaging Service Dept.
Precise management of the examination means rapid completion, rapid anesthesia and rapid recovery. The lungs remain well insufflated thanks to the assisted ventilation of Veta 5 which provides high-quality image.
Patient Transportation
Transporting critically ill patients within the hospital requires continuous monitoring to ensure their safety and well-being. Mindray's transport monitor BeneVision N1 is designed for this purpose, providing real-time data on vital signs during transit. This capability ensures that patients receive consistent care without interruption, significantly improving outcomes.
Operating Rooms
In the operating rooms, precision and reliability are paramount. Mindray's Veta 3/5 and WATO anesthesia machines are at the forefront, offering advanced anesthesia delivery and monitoring capabilities. These machines ensure that anesthesia is administered safely and effectively, tailored to the specific needs of each animal patient.

Anesthesia and Surgery Nurse
We've been working with the Mindray's anesthesia machine for about a year now. Mechanical
Ventilation contributes to the success of these precise
surgeries.
During ophthalmology surgery, we can't see the patient
beneath the operating drape. So it's important to have a
reliable monitoring that we can rely on.
ICU and Telemetry
What Should a Safer ICU Look Like? It must embody smart connectivity. From the OR to the ICU, vital signs are monitored in real-time, seamlessly integrated into the IT system. In the ICU, patients receive comprehensive, advanced care around the clock, including precise monitoring and infusion therapy. Throughout the entire recovery process within the hospital, and even during outdoor activities, the safety of the patients is ensured at all times, providing the highest level of protection.
The ICU equipped with Mindray's monitors, pumps and telemetry system, could provide comprehensive monitoring on different critical patients simultaneously. These monitors deliver real-time data on vital signs, allowing veterinarians to make informed decisions quickly. The robust features and reliability of the uMEC12 Vet ensure that the highest standard of care is maintained for the most vulnerable patients.
Saving Time is Saving Life: The Central Monitoring System (CMS) in Action
Integrating all vital signs whenever and wherever during the whole medical process, the seamless monitoring is essential for safety.
- All the data stored in CMS, can be reviewed & printed out
- Real-time access to patient data
- Real-time acquisition of alarm
- Wi-Fi connection
- No data loss during transport
This is where Mindray's Central Monitoring System (CMS) comes into play, offering a significant advantage by connecting all these devices including monitors, anesthesia machines, pumps and telemetries into a cohesive system (Central Station), then simutaneously showing in different display stations (ViewStation, WorkStation, Laptop Viewer, Mobile Viewer) .
Dr. Maxime Cambournac
DipECVECC, Head of the Emergency and Intensive Care Dept.
Continuous monitoring of our patients is essential for their safety whether in the operating theatre, intensive care or even in the CT scanner located 6 floors below. And that's what the CMS (Center Monitoring System) allows us to do.
The CMS allows for centralized monitoring, data collection, and analysis, providing a comprehensive view of patient status and device performance.
Consider a critical emergency case at Frégis, the patient's vital signs are continuously monitored from ER, OR to ICU, from imaging rooms to the yard, or even on the way here and there.
Océane Jegou
Anesthesia and Surgery Nurse
If there's a problem in the OR, I know I can call my colleague. He has all our monitors visible from CMS Station. I know he'll be able to give me advice in real time without having to travel to OR.
Guilhem Marty
Emergency and Intensive Care Nurse
Having a Central Monitoring System allows us to anticipate the return of the animal from surgery and to prepare all the necessary infusions before the animal arrives.
WATO + ePM 12M Vet
ePM 12M Vet + e-Series Pump
This centralized data allows the veterinary team to make informed decisions swiftly. Alerts and trends can be monitored centrally, ensuring no critical change goes unnoticed. Furthermore, historical data can be accessed to review the patient's progress and response to treatment, facilitating better long-term care.
Conclusion
The rejuvenation of Frégis Veterinary Hospital through the integration of Mindray's comprehensive solutions marks a new era of excellence. By addressing the diverse needs of various departments and ensuring seamless interconnectivity, Frégis is able to provide unparalleled care to patients. The advanced capabilities of Mindray's products, combined with the power of the CMS, enable Frégis to maintain its legacy of excellence while meeting the demands of modern veterinary medicine.
