Description A programmable device that performs automated peritoneal dialysis exchanges overnight by cycling dialysate into and out of the peritoneal cavity through a peritoneal catheter, enabling home based renal replacement therapy with flexibility and improved quality of life for selected patients. … Read more
Category Emergency Pediatrics Typical Use Stabilize children for imaging and procedures while minimizing movement. Description A padded board or vacuum immobilizer that secures pediatric patients safely for radiography, casting, or minor procedures, reducing motion artifact and improving procedural accuracy while ensuring comfort and monitoring.
Category Diagnostic Neurophysiology Typical Use Record cortical electrical activity for seizure and encephalopathy evaluation. Description A multi channel amplifier and recording system that acquires electrical signals from scalp electrodes placed according to standardized montages to assess brain electrical activity for epilepsy diagnosis, encephalopathy evaluation, sleep disorders, and intraoperative monitoring. EEG interpretation requires recognition of normal … Read more
Category Thoracic Care Drainage Typical Use Provide minimally invasive pleural drainage for effusions and pneumothorax. Description A small bore, flexible catheter with a curled pigtail tip inserted percutaneously to drain pleural fluid or air with less discomfort and easier bedside placement compared with large bore chest tubes, often connected to a closed drainage system.
Category Diagnostic Monitoring Typical Use Continuous ambulatory ECG recording for 2472 hours. Description A portable, battery powered electrocardiographic recorder worn by patients to capture continuous cardiac rhythm data over extended periods, typically 24 to 72 hours, to detect intermittent arrhythmias, correlate symptoms with rhythm disturbances, and evaluate rate variability. The device records multiple leads or … Read more
Category Diagnostic Typical Use Record cardiac electrical activity. Description A device that records the heart’s electrical activity through surface electrodes placed on the chest and limbs, producing tracings that show rhythm, conduction intervals, and evidence of ischemia or infarction. ECGs are essential in emergency evaluation of chest pain, syncope, palpitations, and in routine cardiac assessment, … Read more
Category Dermatology Diagnostic Typical Use Detect pigmentary changes and certain infections under ultraviolet light. Description A handheld ultraviolet light source that accentuates epidermal pigmentary differences, porphyrin producing bacteria, and certain fungal infections by producing characteristic fluorescence patterns, aiding diagnosis of vitiligo, tinea versicolor, and erythrasma. Examination is performed in a darkened room with careful interpretation … Read more
Category Neonatology Critical Care Typical Use Provide thermoregulation and controlled environment for premature and ill neonates. Description A closed, temperature and humidity controlled chamber that supports thermoregulation, oxygen delivery, and monitoring for preterm and critically ill newborns, often integrated with access ports for caregiving and phototherapy compatibility. Incubators reduce heat loss, support metabolic stability, and … Read more
