Abstract

CAS Medical Systems' Model 750E Series Monitor incorporates either 3- or 5-lead ECG with impedance respiration along with the company's MAXNIBP(R) non-invasive blood pressure. The 750E offers clinicians solutions to the problems of inaccuracy and false alarms associated with pulse oximetry due to patient motion and low perfusion. With the addition of the 750E, the CAS' monitoring product line includes a full range of non-invasive measurement parameters for a variety of clinical applications, particularly in the areas of outpatient surgery, oral surgery, and procedural sedation.For more information, go to www.casmed.comBridgeport Magnetics/Tortran introduces ISO-PUCK, a wall-mounted, enclosed hospital grade isolation transformer.

They measure the energy output and provide information about the pulse. The analyzers can be used on manual, semi-automatic, and automatic defibrillators with biphasic or monophasic outputs. The DA-2006P model provides a transcutaneous pacemaker analysis function. It measures and displays pacer pulse information as well as performing refractory period, sensitivity and immunity testing.For more information, go to www.bcgroupintl.com.Fluke Biomedical has released the VT MOBILE Gas Flow Analyzer to meet the demands of the traveling biomedical equipment technician or field service engineer. The portable, general-purpose gas-flow analyzer is capable of performance testing the broad range of medical gas flow/pressure devices used in hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, and now moving into homecare. Besides addressing general-purpose needs, the device is also equipped with special displays that speed ventilator and anesthesia-machine performance testing.For more information, go to www.flukebiomedical.com.Watlow offers precise heating solutions with its polyimide (Kapton®) and etched foil silicone rubber flexible heaters and hybrid heaters. The thin but robust heaters allow the heat to be placed precisely where it is needed because the heater circuit is patterned to meet exact customer specifications. The heater features physical and electrical properties that result in thermal stability over a wide temperature range. It is ideal for applications requiring low outgassing in a vacuum, or resistance to radiation, fungus, and chemicals.For more information, go to www.watlow.com.Wright Pump has extended its sanitary product through the addition of a new family of high purity centrifugal pumps. The TRA400 series is available in five models in both volute and non-volute styles. Each pump is machined from 316L stainless steel or other high-quality alloy bar and plates eliminating the problems associated with traditional castings. The pump has a patent-pending Zero Dead-Leg drain, allowing the diaphragm to be swept continuously during operation to achieve true casing drain.For more information, go to www.wrightpump.com.VICI Valco's Cheminert M Series Diluter/Dispensers simplify the sample preparation process for dispensing and diluting liquids. The user-friendly Wizard format eliminates math calculations and external charts associated with diluting and dispensing applications. Just enter the dilution ratio and the final volume, and the correct volume is calculated and automatically dispensed. For multiple dispenses, simply enter the volume and number of dispense repetitions, and the Wizard calculates the total volume to be aspirated.For more information, go to www.vici.com.
