Autoclave for Sterilizing Objects
The Pelton & Crane Delta 10 Autoclave is
specifically used for sterilizing objects and can be found in every hospital.
The autoclave includes a sterile dry cycle and a 10 inch chamber and features
filtered close door drying, electronic temperature and time controls and
preprogrammed sterilization. Another important feature is the automatic
chamber, which preheats to maximize productivity by shortening the cycle times.
A digital function display is also a key component because it allows for
accurate and easy monitoring of the sterilization cycle.
Patient Monitor for
Recording Blood Pressure
The Datascope Passport Patient
Monitor includes ECG, SPO2 and non-invasive blood pressure and recorder. The
monitor features a large screen for viewing at any angle of the operating room,
adult finger sensor, ECG cable, blood pressure hose, standard adult cuff and
recorder paper.
Surgical Lights for a
Precision Work
The Skytron Stellar ST2323 is a
popular brand of surgical lights that feature dual center-mounted light heads
with focusable control and wall-mounted intensity control box. The surgical
lights also feature advanced multi-lamp optics with vertically segmented
reflector designs, light maneuverability, 360 degree movement of all points of
rotation, intensity of up to 24,000 footcandles, 90 degree downward travel for
low angle lighting and cool beam temperature.
Popular Defibrillators
The Philips Headstart XL is a popular brand
for defibrillators and combines the technology of biphasic defibrillation,
pacing, ECG and AED. The device uses voice prompts and text messages to guide
the user through the process of defibrillation. The manual mode is also
available and operates with 1-2-3 operation and can be easily switched from AED
to manual mode. The defibrillator also features child and adult paddles in one,
portability and synchronized cardioversion.
MRI
A
Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine uses a powerful magnetic field, radio
frequency pulses and a computer to obtain pictures of your soft tissues,
organs, bones and other parts of your body. According to radiologyinfo.org,
this machine gives a better picture than the X-ray and can determine whether or
not certain conditions such as cancer, heart problems and liver disease are
present.
Electrocardiogram
The
electrocardiogram will provide your physician with a history of your heart
rate. This information is used to determine whether or not the heart is
functioning properly. It can also determine what effects certain medications
have on your heart rate and detect any problems with the rhythm of your heart
rate.
Urine Analyzer
A urine analyzer is used in
most hospitals to assist in diagnosing any number of diseases and conditions.
Conditions such as pregnancy, drug use, kidney/bladder infections, and urinary
tract infections are some that can be detected with the urine analyzer
Automated external defibrillator
An automated
external defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic
device that automatically
diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops
the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. With simple audio and visual
commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layman, and the
use of AEDs is taught in many first aid, first
responder, and basic life support (BLS) level CPR classes.
X-ray
Your doctor may order
an X-ray to determine whether or not a bone is broken or there may be something
lodged in your body after an accident. The X-ray machine is found in the
radiology department and can determine any number of ailments. Patients are covered
with a lead vest to protect against radiation while pictures of the affected
area are being taken.
