And I meant electronics tech not electrician. oops.

Thanks for clearing things up Jeff. That's what I've been trying to say and I couldn't have said it better.

Ahh... well you seem to be making a big deal out of this.. It's not like it's a ventilator to keep someone in a comma breathing.. There is no warranty from the company so it's not like there is any warranty that goes off if you open it and it's for animals, not humans... so no one is going to give a poop. People kill and eat a couple of billion animals a day, so again, not a ventilator to keep a human alive. The electrician (not battery person, I don't know what a battery person is) will realize this is not a serious looking machine and will gladly change batteries if especially if they are a small mom and pop shop.

The KT recovery + Wave which costs 25$ and gives more hours than the Assisi Loop has this frequency.. : The ActiPatch operates at 27.12MHz shortwave frequency, pulsing at a 1000 pulses per second with a pulse width of 100µsecs. The Assisi Loop is also 27.120 MHZ but I believe at different durations of 2mW average 50 OHM

Hey all. I just got the Assisi loop from my vet and they failed to mention that it will only last for ONE MONTH for my cat with pancreatitis, (they also sold me a SMALL 10cm one and I can't exchange it for a larger one meanwhile they had opened the box for me, I didn't even see the closed box so I'm angry about that!).. I was happy to spend around 600 Canadian on something that can help me cat's pancreatitis but, EVERY MONTH? That's INSANE and truly, they are thieves, to say the least! To ask people to throw these still functioning machines out after the battery dies is also polluting the planet. Things like this SHOULD BE ILLEGAL, truly. We are filling this planet with JUNK and garbage because of companies like these who only think about themselves. And who ever said that they had to make it like this so they can have it FDA approved, that is not correct. That is just an excuse someone came up with for marketing reasons. The ones they sell for humans is just 25$, think about it for a second. I'm not sure if it's the same frequency, can anyone find out? So anyone who has an Assisi loop, look in your neighborhood for a cell phone or laptop or any type of electronics REPAIR SHOP, go to them and ask them to change the battery for you and they will gladly do it and not charge a lot. If you get reachable batteries, (they don't have to be the same KIND) they have to be similar voltage and amp, yes but they can be different size, shop around, they can change them with rechargeable ones. The electronics people will know what to do. No need to ask people online. It might help if you open the cover yourself though and take it to them with it opened. They can change the battery for your while you stand. My father had an electronics repair shop for many years when I was growing up and he would have gladly helped anyone out in similar situations. So look for rechargeable batteries with the same amp and volt and change it with that. You can even make a new compartment for it if need be. There are types of Clay that you mix and you shape it into whatever you want and it hardens after.. Or you can get a piece of plastic from another device and fashion a cover. To anyone who has a LOOP with a dead battery that is larger than 10cm, (20cm and up) I would be interested in buying your loop from you. PLEASE DON"T THROW THEM OUT. Resell them online. Let those manufacturers know that they are doing something wrong! Put them on ebay or your local reseller website (I use Kijiji in Toronto). If you are in Toronto, I'll gladly buy it. lanahandal@hotmail.com
