Sanrad International Centauri MPF3000

Centauri 0.3T MRI takes advantage of dynamic balancing technology innovated by XinAoMDT to achieve high image resolution, signal-to-noise ratio and contrast, and fast acquisition enabling advanced clinical applications in permanent magnetic resolution imaging systems.

Ergonomic Design

• Comfort: Wide open two-pole structure, soft lighting and integrated audio system provide patients with comfort.
• Convenient and accurate: Automatic patient handling system designed for convenient and accurate patient positioning.
• Easy and accurate: Dual graphic prescription windows for accurate and easy localisation.
• Real time: The only MRI system that has two nine-inch LCDs mounted on the magnet with on-board controls to monitor system status, display images and perform real-time on-site scan control.

Dynamic Balancing Technology

Centauri's excellent performance is ensured by dynamic balancing technology under both static and dynamic imaging conditions.

• Targeting electromagnetic field design integrates the design of magnet, gradients and radio frequency system into one process ensuring the best performance.
• The three channels self-shield gradient coil technology produces minimal eddy current and residual magnetisation in a permanent magnet system. With the ultra thin six-layer gradient coil design, gradient performance is optimised with high linearity and fast dynamic response.
• High-order active shimming technology is a unique feature of Centauri permanent magnet system. The up to third order, 10 channel shimming coils eliminate field inhomogeneity and provide excellent magnetic field homogeneity comparable to that of magnetic resonance spectroscopy systems.

Schiller Healthcare India Pvt Ltd
Defigard 5000 Hospital Defibrillator

Schiller India's hospital defibrillator—Defigard 5000 has been doing extremely well in the hospital market. Schiller has successfully installed it in many leading hospitals such as Parsee General Hospital, Holy Family Hospital, GB Pant Hospital, AIIMS, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and LNJP Hospital. According to Hormazd Cooper, Vice President, Sales, "The Defigard 5000 is a high-end defibrillator targeted specially at hospitals. This unit offers the industry's largest colour screen for optimum viewing of all parameters. Using Schiller's patented multi-pulse biowave and biphasic technology, guarantees lower tissue damage. The unit also offers physicians fixed demand and over-ride modes of pacing and uses the same electrode set which is used for normal defibrillation, thereby ensuring economical operation."

Features

• Large 10.4" colour TFT screen with manual and AED modes for adult and paediatric application.
• User friendly operation by audible and visual instructions and guidance on screen.
• Capability to include monitoring parameters such as ECG, SPO2 and NIBP.
• Integrated three channel printer with auto and manual modes.
• Display of AED prompts, measurements and waveforms, of ECG, SPO2 and NIBP.
• Internal memory for 45 minutes of ECG and 500 events in AED as well as 24 hour trends (graphical and tabular) for all parameters.
• Integrated three-channel printer.
• Automatic and manual printing for all waveforms, measurements, events, trends, and alarms.
• Internal defibrillation with internal spoon electrode (optional).
• Download of AED data via USB port using memory stick (optional).
• Transmission of 12-channel ECG via GSM or modem with ethernet connection for software upgrades (optional).

Mega 2000 and Mega Soft

Mega 2000 patient return electrode is very different than the older sticky disposable return electrode or the silicon reusable return pad. Mega 2000 technology does not require direct patient contact with the return electrode. It is easy to use and reusable (18 months warranty), saving the customer both time and money. Mega 2000 is larger (46 times larger than any other return pad), allowing electro surgical current to be dispersed over a larger area, minimising heat built-up and protecting the patient. This unique feature provides a level of safety unsurpassed by any other return electrode in the market today.

The technology of 'capacitively coupled return electrode' used in Mega 2000 is employed in Mega Soft also. Mega Soft is designed for OR table pressure reduction made with Akton polymer. It helps in reducing decubitus ulcers formed due to pressure, shear and friction. Mega 2000 and Mega Soft totally eliminate pad site burn and alternate site burn due to its large surface area. During procedure, a draw sheet can be placed over the pad and hence the patient is not in contact with the pad. It is of great help to theatre staff as Mega can be used with patients who have frail skin or extensive injuries (such as burns) that would make the use of adhesive electrodes difficult or impossible. In an OR, where on an average three-four procedures are done per day, Mega series pad is useful to bring down the cost of pad (if sticky pads are presently used) by about 70 per cent. The other advantage is the total elimination of sticky pad waste which, in an OR with three-four procedures per day, would be around 120 kilograms per theatre per year and this will make a real difference in reducing environmental waste (one Mega Soft is equal to 1,500 sticky pads). Mega 2000 and Mega Soft return pads are approved by FDA and are manufactured by Megadyne Medicals (USA).
