Realistic
training available with Cardio-Aid 200
Cardio-Aid
200, from Artema, now incorporates a training mode with
simulated ECG measurements as standard.
Training costs and complexity is reduced, as an external
ECG simulator is no longer required.
To assure fully realistic resuscitation training scenarios
for all levels of hospital staff, Cardio-Aid 200 responds
to missing cables and missing or poor patient contact
exactly as if operated in regular manual or AED modes.
The trainer can easily switch between the typical heart
rhythms seen during real resuscitations.
The training mode supports training in defibrillation
using pads or internal / external paddles, in
cardio-version, and in pacing.
Cardio-Aid 200 will simulate captured beats when the pacer
settings are appropriate in either fixed or demand mode.

Cathy
proves to be a success both home and abroad
HMD’s
Cathy IV Cannulas is one of the recent successful launches
of HMD both in the domestic and international market.
With new Volex proprietary polymer, Cathy IV Cannulas is a
technologically superior product in comparison to IV
Cannulas with FEP/PTFE (TEFLON) catheters.
The Cathy IV Cannulas can be inserted in the vein easily
without peelback (splitting of Catheter during insertion)
thereby making second and third reinsertion possible
without having to throw away.
It is widely known that catheter material is a key factor
affecting the incidence of reddening and swelling of the
skin (thrombophlebitis) at the site of cannulation after a
few hours of cannulation.
Trials of Cathy IV Cannulas done at Apollo Hospital, Batra
Hospital and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, have shown that the
chances of thrombus generation are minimised in the case
of Cathy, thereby reducing the medication cost.

The
new generation Dynapulse is smaller and lighter
The
Dynapulse 5000A ambulatory blood pressure monitor is
smaller and lighter than its predecessor.
The new, compact DynaPulse 5000 ABP monitor looks more
like a portable CD player than a medical device. Designed
for comfort, the DP 5000 ABP features a stylish black
holster that may be clipped to the patient’s belt or
worn using the supplied shoulder strap. Velcro loops on
the strap hold the air hose in place. Some patients may
prefer to conceal the cuff and air hose under clothing,
making the 5000 ABP even less conspicuous.
Inside, DynaPulse’s validated technology enables
accurate measurements and storage of up to 100 blood
pressure readings. Each measurement includes the
full-disclosure arterial pressure waveform which – when
displayed on your computer – helps validate the
occupancy of each measurement and flag irregular
heartbeats. The 5000 ABP provides both 24-hour ambulatory
and automatic interval monitoring modes. Easy-to-use
software assures complete patient data management,
interpretation and reporting.

Creating
pulsed magnetic stimulation in the pelvic floor muscles
The PCK EIMT is a new device for the treatment of
incontinence in women.
The device works extracorporeally by using pulsed magnetic
stimulation in the pelvic floor muscles.
EIMT is an easy-use, non-invasive and painless piece of
equipment that is used for stimulating pelvic floor
muscles with a time-varying magnetic field generated.
The patient simply sits on the EIMT chair with normal
daily clothes on. The created magnetic field causes
contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles in
each excitation period. This continued action is a good
exercise to rebuild the strength and endurance of the
pelvic floor muscles to help regain bladder control.
EIMT has no side effects and is for women of all ages. The
device consists of a magnetic field control unit and a
treatment chair.
It is an ideal device, not only for hospitals, but also
for doctors’ offices because of its easy treatment
method and effective results.

design provide high definition images and improved viewing
of blood vessels, showing every meticulous detail.
The REID evaluation standards are used in the image
analysis software. To enhance the performance, a compact
and mobile workstation is available to work with the
colposcope system.

New
system can meet the requirements of many
With
the VIO System, ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH has introduced a
new generation of electrosurgical units into the market.
The System’s hardware and software can be individually
configured to meet the requirements of physicians in many
different medical fields.
The System is operated by means of a high resolution
interactive display.
The System’s software makes daily operations in the OR
easier, offers greater safety and improves surgical
results.
The System’s high degree of modularity is already
apparent in its hardware: in addition to the
electrosurgical generator, which serves as the master
operating unit, additional OR modules can be integrated
into the system cart.
The System can be expanded to include an
Argon-Plasma-Coagulation unit (with two output sockets)
suction units for secretion and smoke plume evacuation as
well as other accessories.
The generator can be individually equipped with variable
output sockets and electrosurgical functions – depending
on the individual customer’s requirements.
Over and above the conventional modes for monopolar and
bipolar cutting and coagulation, the ERBE VIO system also
offers a number of newly defined functions for a wide
choice of applications.
The System can be upgraded to handle new developments or
changing requirements and is open for future improvements.
Service and maintenance are made easier by the modular
structure and concept of the VIO system.
