Mobile Integrated Operation Systems mean maximising and utilising space in the operating theatre. These systems also adapt well to a range of different environments, including modern clinics, field use, rescues, township hospitals, mountainous areas and many other challenging environments. This particular holistic medical system, the Aeonmed Integrated Operating System includes: A surgical bed Shadowless lamp Anaesthesia machine Sputum elimination machine High frequency electric knife Surgical washing equipment OP750 Surgical Bed – This bed is suitable for a range of different surgeries and meets the demand of different operative postures Eump500D Syringe Pump – Compact, lightweight design EN-S7 Infusion Pump – Colour touch screen, waterproof and an infrared transmission Strong Aluminium Alloy Frame – Corrosion, oxidation and vibration resistance T-Guide – Flexible and compatible with a range of surgical accessories HD Camera – Real-time ...

We often have ECG machines sent to us for checking as the users state that the machine is not reading properly. When we test them, we find out there is nothing wrong.  There are many reasons for this issue. A common problem is that the paper is inserted incorrectly, and another problem is the skin of the patients is not being prepared properly. The skin should NOT be cleaned with an alcohol swab before applying the electrode as the alcohol is drying and will prevent good conductivity through the electrode. Here is a step by step guide on how to apply the electrodes 1. Clean & prepare the skin All application sites need to be clean, dry and free of lotions. The site always needs to be washed with soap and water and then dried before placing the electrodes. Using alcohol should be avoided as it can dry out the skin, increasing skin impedance and trace artifacts. If needed, any excessive hair should be removed at the placement site. 2. Apply the electrodes First t...

Well, the clue is in the name. These machines suck in normal air – which has roughly 80 % nitrogen and 20% oxygen and force it through a special sieve. They are used on patients who have poor lung function as the higher concentration of oxygen allows the patient to get sufficient oxygen. So, how exactly does an oxygen concentrator work? The oxygen concentrator’s sieves trap the nitrogen and pump out oxygen at concentrations of up to 95%. The purity of the oxygen depends on the size of the sieves and the power of the motor. From there the sieves hold onto the nitrogen until they are saturated. Most machines have a 6000-8000 hour life span. After this time, the sieves need to be replaced. Oxygen concentrators are not only convenient, but they are also affordable and do not need to be refilled on a regular basis. These factors make this medical device a commonly used item for oxygen therapy at home as well as on patients in hospital. SA Healthcare is one o...
