Mass Spectrometer

Category Analytical Laboratory Typical Use Identify and quantify molecules by mass to charge ratio for proteomics and toxicology. Description A high resolution analytical instrument that ionizes chemical species and separates ions by mass to charge ratio to provide molecular identification, structural information, and quantitative data used in proteomics, metabolomics, drug testing, and clinical toxicology. Mass … Read more

Tilt Table

Category Diagnostic Testing Typical Use Evaluate syncope and autonomic dysfunction by controlled positional changes. Description A motorized table that safely tilts a patient from supine to upright positions while monitoring heart rate and blood pressure to provoke and document neurally mediated syncope, orthostatic hypotension, or autonomic failure under controlled conditions. Tilt table testing helps differentiate … Read more

Blood Warming Device

Category Perioperative Care Typical Use Warm transfused blood to body temperature. Description Inline or cabinet blood warmers heat packed red blood cells and other blood products to near body temperature during rapid or massive transfusion to prevent hypothermia and associated coagulopathy. Blood warming devices are designed to maintain product integrity while delivering warmed blood safely, … Read more

Bronchial Thermoplasty Catheter

Category Pulmonary Therapeutic Typical Use Deliver controlled thermal energy to reduce airway smooth muscle in severe asthma. Description A specialized catheter used in bronchial thermoplasty procedures to apply radiofrequency energy to medium and large airways, reducing airway smooth muscle mass and decreasing bronchoconstriction frequency in selected patients with severe, refractory asthma. The procedure involves staged … Read more

Dialysis Catheter

Category Renal Replacement Therapy Vascular Access Typical Use Provide high flow central venous access for hemodialysis or apheresis. Description A large bore, dual lumen central venous catheter placed in the internal jugular, femoral, or subclavian vein to enable high flow extracorporeal circulation for intermittent or continuous hemodialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy, or apheresis procedures. Dialysis … Read more

Topical Hemostatic Agent

Category Hemostasis Typical Use Promote clotting at bleeding surfaces. Description Materials such as oxidized regenerated cellulose, gelatin sponges, collagen, or thrombin based products applied directly to bleeding surfaces to promote clot formation and control capillary or oozing hemorrhage when conventional ligation is impractical. Topical hemostatic agents are used in surgical fields, trauma care, and endoscopic … Read more
